The Medical Sisters
Congregation also known as "The Society of Catholic Medical Missionaries",
is an international religious community of women who dedicate themselves
to a life and mission of healing, following the example of Christ, in
areas of need throughout the world.
The Society was founded in 1925
by Mother (Dr.) Anna Dengel to respond to the urgent needs of Muslim women
who were dying needlessly in India, deprived of medical care, because male
doctors could not be attended them. The Medical Mission Sisters today
continue this healing mission of Christ in 16 countries throughout the
world by sharing their gifts and talents to promote health and wholeness
for all.
In 1965, Mother Dengel visited
Ethiopia in response to a request from the late Archbishop, Mgr. Asrate
Mariam, to establish a hospital in Attat, Guraghe. The first two sisters
arrived in 1967 and in April 1969, with the arrival of three more sisters
the work began.
In 1980 a Formation House was
established in Addis Ababa to welcome young Ethiopian women who wished to
join the Society.
In July 1992 a new community
involved in a development project was started near Debre Zeit.
In 2000, two sisters started working in Wolliso Hospital as General
Manager of the Hospital and Tutor/Librarian at the Nursing School. In
2001 one sister Dr. Surgeon joined the hospital to render her mission.
