About Mizoram Health Department: It is difficult to trace back the history of the Health Department in Mizoram due to lack of documents. However, it is one of the oldest functioning departments in the State. From available records, an impoverished treatment camp was established at Aizawl in a tent for laborers (kulis) in 1894. This was later upgraded to a full-fledged dispensary in 1896. Subsequently, in the same year, Aizawl Hospital was made functional with 20 beds and Champhai Dispensary with 8 beds. This was followed by the establishment of 8 more 6-bedded dispensaries at Kolasib, Sairang, Lunglei, Champhai, N. Vanlaiphai, Sialsuk, Tlabung, Vahai and Tuipang in 1920.

It is presumed from the records that Dr. E. Christian Harr, Surgeon Captain was the first Civil Surgeon of Lushai Hills. His hand written entry, dated 22nd November, 1896 can be seen in the "Inspection Book , Champhai Dispensary , From 1896 to 1973", preserved by the Health Department. At the time of Independence in 1947, there was a 36-bedded hospital at Aizawl and dispensaries as mentioned above. There was acute shortage of doctors and pharmacists as Mizoram was just another district of Assam. Health Services organization then was headed by a Civil Surgeon based at Aizawl supported by a Sub-Divisional Medical Officer based at Lunglei. When the Mizoram District Council was formed in 1952, one more hospital, 7 Public Health Dispensaries, 3 Primary Health Centres and 7 Traveling Dispensaries were established. However, during the civil strife in the State, some Dispensaries/Traveling Dispensaries were not functional.
