History
Work to establish at Embangweni Station, also known as “Loudon”, was begun by Reverend Donald Fraser and his wife Dr. Agnes Fraser, missionaries of the Free Church of Scotland, at the end of the 19th Century. Clinical work by Dr. Fraser, a friend of Dr. David Livingstone, began in 1902. In 1926, under the direction of Dr. W. Turner, the facility expanded to become a rural hospital. Additional buildings were constructed in 1924 and 1940. A maternity ward was added in 1966. During the 1970’s the hospital doubled its size from 38 to 77 beds. In 1989 under the ministry of Dr. Kenneth and Mrs. Nancy McGill, the hospital greatly expanded its facilities and its services to include separate buildings for maternity, pediatrics, male and female general care, as well as operating theater for major and minor surgeries and caesarian-section deliveries. It has since, over the years, expanded to 150-bed capacity.
