Contents

The hospital opened in 1951 and has continued to expand, adding a new wing in 1955, and an ICU unit in 2023. [2] [1]

The hospital is home to Maluti Adventist College, (formerly Maluti School of Nursing), one of Lesotho's four nurse education programs. [1] [3] [4] The program graduated its first nurses in 1968 and has served students from many countries. [1]

The hospital established its AIDS unit in 1995. [5] According to a study published in the journal Psychology, Health & Medicine, the hospital pioneered the use of anti-retroviral drugs for AIDS and HIV treatment. [6] The unit includes counseling and work training for HIV-positive people, and in 2001 added a care and treatment programme that focuses on food security for affected households. [6]
