EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene outside C.M.S. Kalat Mission Hospital in Quetta, Balochistan province, Pakistan, circa 1909. Established by the Church Missionary Society (CMS) of the Anglican Communion, the hospital was a beacon of hope and healing for the people of this region during the early 1900s. The image shows a group of patients, mostly women and children, seated or sitting on the ground outside the hospital. Their expressions convey a mix of hope, relief, and perhaps a hint of apprehension as they await their turn to be seen by the medical staff. The hospital, with its whitewashed walls and red-tiled roof, stands proudly in the background, a symbol of the dedication and compassionate service provided by the missionaries and local staff. The CMS missionaries, led by Miss Christina, played a crucial role in bringing medical care and education to the people of Balochistan during a time when access to such services was limited. The hospital treated a wide range of ailments, from common illnesses to more complex conditions, and provided essential care for the most vulnerable members of the community. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the transformative impact that missionary hospitals like C.M.S. Kalat Mission Hospital had on the lives of countless individuals in Quetta and beyond. The legacy of this institution continues to inspire and influence the medical and humanitarian work being carried out in Pakistan and around the world today.
