In Nagaland, when people talk about the “top hospital,” one name slips into almost every conversation — Christian Institute of Health Sciences and Research. Most locals simply call it CIHSR. Or Referral Hospital. Big campus. Crowded corridors. Ambulances coming in late night also.A man from Mon district once travelled nearly the whole day just to reach there for heart treatment.
That happens a lot actually. Families wait outside with tea cups in hand, doctors rushing room to room. The hospital is known for emergency care, ICU services, surgeries, diagnostics. Serious cases usually end up here when smaller centers can’t handle anymore. And yeah, many people trust it deeply.
Then comes Naga Hospital Authority Kohima. Government hospital. Busy almost every hour. Sometimes too much crowded, honestly. But for affordable treatment, thousands of families still depend on it.
The staff handles pressure daily, still keeps moving somehow.In Dimapur, hospitals like Eden Medical Centre and Faith Hospital and Institute of Medical Sciences are also becoming popular now. Modern machines. Better diagnostics. Faster emergency care than before. People from nearby towns quietly prefer these places nowadays. Word spreads fast.
And then there’s Olive Christian Hospital and Research Centre and Nikos Hospital. Not flashy maybe. But important. Very important for local healthcare. Nagaland’s medical system is growing slow-slow, still these hospitals are carrying huge responsibility on their shoulders.
