Presentation Health Care & Support Centre is a 12-bedded dispensary run by the Catholic denomination, located near the Bangladesh border in a remote part of Meghalaya. It provides 24/7 IPD and OPD services to over 40 surrounding villages and actively conducts community health programs, awareness drives, and medical camps.
The campus also houses two hostels—accommodating 41 boys and 61 girls—who rely on the facility for both shelter and education. However, frequent power failures in the region severely disrupt night-time healthcare operations and hinder students’ ability to study after dark.
