Frances Newton Hospital - Frances Newton Hospital in Firozpur, India, began in 1894 as a women and children’s hospital. Today, over 100 years later, the 300-bed general hospital is still the only well-equipped civilian hospital in an area with a population of 3,000,000 people.

 

Dr. Dorothy Lee Ferris, a former member of BAPC, served for 35 years (1936-1971) as a medical missionary to Frances Newton Hospital in Firozpur, India, and we continue to support the hospital today. When she arrived in 1936 there were 50 beds and 20 nurses. When she left in 1971 she expanded the hospital to include 300 beds, 17 doctors and 160 students in the well-established School of Nursing.
