“People often are compelled to travel to towns in Assam for their basic medical treatments," he said. Due to the long journey, many have lost their lives on the way.
Dental facilities are also scarce in the area.
With the new church-run facility, the simple agrarian people can now avail of affordable dental treatment, saving both money and time.
The hospital was established in 2016 as a response to the need for better health care in remote villages.

Bishop George said the dental care unit will now make the hospital serve the people even better.
