Christian Institute of Health Sciences and Research (CIHSR)

The Christian Institute of Health Sciences and Research in Dimapur, established in 2005, is a mission-run health-sciences institution built around its referral hospital, which has grown into one of Nagaland's most significant healthcare providers. Its roots are in the Christian medical-mission tradition of service to underserved communities, and its academic reputation was made first in nursing before extending into medical education, with MBBS now offered — a landmark for a state that long sent all its medical aspirants outside. It holds an A+ grade from NAAC, a strong accreditation for the region. Training is clinically grounded in a hospital serving a genuinely underserved population, which shapes both the learning and the institutional ethos. It suits students from Nagaland and the Northeast pursuing medicine or nursing who value mission-driven, service-oriented training close to home.
