The Christian Hospital Chandraghona was started as a Baptist Hospital in 1907 by the British.  It houses the largest church-based Nursing Training Institute in Bangladesh.  The Institute has 60 students in training at any given time.  Most of the nurses are trained for service in the community.  The Institute selectively recruits students from minority groups. Ninety-five percent of the students are from Tribal Groups or are Christians.  Eighty percent earn a self-supporting income within two years of graduation.
