The
Canadian Baptist Mission was initiated at the request of the missionary
Thomas Gabriel. As a result of this, in 1868, Rev. A. V. Timpany and Rev. John McLaurin arrived in
Ramayapatnam and then moved to
Kakinada in 1874 after the mission itself began. In 1904, Dr. Gertrude Hulet arrived in
Vuyyuru and went on to open a dispensary in 1906. The formation of the hospital's current administrative structure was started by the Krishna
district collector in 1923. A chapel was built in memory of Dr. Hulet in 1957. What had started as a clinic in 1904 By 1955, hospital became a general hospital. Evelyn Eaton started a
midwifery training course in 1941 and, by 1956, it became an
Auxiliary Nurse Midwives (ANMs) course. More than 500 nurses have graduated from this school. ==Membership==
