ABOUT THE HOSPITAL
TLM Barabanki Hospital was established in the year 1961.
The Mission to Lepers (now, The Leprosy Mission Trust India) started work among people affected by leprosy in Barabanki, in 1958, as a weekly roadside clinic run by its Faizabad hospital. Dr Frances Bramwell, Dr Chandy and Dr G.S.Partick, working with TLM Faizabad Hospital pioneered these clinics. In 1961, it became a full-fledged hospital, and in 1978, it became a separate, independent hospital. It has a large outpatient clinic catering to approximately 300 patients daily. This is one of the most crowded clinics in TLMTI.
