Chumukedima, January 29 (MExN): Holy Redeemer Health Centre (HRHC), Chumukedima will soon have a new emergency wing. The foundation for the new building was laid by Most Rev. Dr. James Thoppil, the bishop of Kohima in a simple ceremony on Sunday, January 29 at the premises of the Health Centre in the presence of fathers, sisters, and invited guests.
The health centre is looked after by the Sisters of Charity of Saints Bartholomea Capitanio and Vincenza Gerosa (SCCG) congregation.
According to a press release, Bishop Thoppil, speaking on the occasion, urged people to pray for doctors and nurses and all those whom God calls to share in the healing ministry of Jesus. Bishop Thoppil also thanked the SCCG sisters for their committed and dedicated services for the past many years at the centre.
Fr. Charles S., the Director of DAN, the social wing of the Church, will be in-charge of overseeing the completion of the building at the earliest. Once the new wing is completed, the centre will have the facility to treat emergency cases, particularly cases relating to the rising number of accident cases often occurring along the National Highway.
