  Dr. Dame Edith Brown (1864–1956)   


“My work is for a king”

Dr. Dame Edith Brown was a pioneering   medical missionary   and   educator   who made significant contributions to   women’s healthcare   and   medical education in India. Born in  England , she was deeply committed to improving healthcare for women in colonial India, where medical care for women was limited due to cultural restrictions.

 

In 1894, Dr. Brown founded the   Ludhiana Medical School (now Christian Medical College, Ludhiana ) in   Punjab, India . It was the first medical training institution for   women   in Asia, providing professional education to Indian women so they could serve their communities. Her mission was to empower women through medical education and to improve public health.

 

Dr. Brown dedicated over 50 years   to serving in India, advocating for the health and education of women. She was known for her compassion, perseverance, and   leadership. In   1932, she was honoured with the title   Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE)   for her extraordinary contributions.

 

Her legacy lives on through   Christian Medical College, which continues to train healthcare professionals and provide medical care to underserved communities.
