'''CBM Christian Medical Centre''' (founded in 1904<ref name="Plow"/>) is a participating hospital of [[Council of Christian Hospitals]].<ref name="ETASI"/> It is located in [[Pithapuram]], [[East Godavari District]], [[Andhra Pradesh]], India.

The [[The Reverend|Rev.]] [[Dr.]] William Gordon Carder who once taught [[Church history]] at [[Andhra Christian Theological College]], [[Hyderabad]] wrote that it was [[Dr.]] E. G. Smith, first medical missionary of [[Canadian Baptist Mission]] to have arrived in India who could be attributed to founding of Hospital in Pithapuram. Gordon wrote,<ref name="Plow"/>
{{quote|Dr. E. Smith of [[Yelamanchili]] made a tour in Pithapuram area in 1900. He came at invitation of Field Missionary. He found more people than usual requesting and in need of medical attention. Over next six years, he made many visits to this area. He began construction of a hospital in 1904 on northern edge of village of [[Pithapuram]]. Buildings began to be used in 1907<ref>Sivasankaranarayana (Edited), ''Andhra Pradesh District Gazetteers'', Volume 14, Printed by the Director of Print. and Stationery at the Government Secretariat Press, Hyderabad, 1979. [https://books.google.com/books?id=Yk5uAAAAMAAJ&dq=christian+medical+centre+pithapuram&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=bethesda]</ref> and were formally opened in February 1908. The hospital was given a Biblical name "[[Pool of Bethesda|Bethesda]]", a house of mercy.}}

Gordon further wrote that when [[Dr.]] Smith went on furlough in 1910, [[Dr.]] Jessie Allyn who came in his place once went to Palace of Raja of [[Pithapuram]] to attend to the [[Queen regnant|Rani]] who delivered a child. In honour, Rani of [[Pithapuram]] bestowed grants to build an exclusive hospital for women and children in near vicinity of existing hospital.<ref name="Plow"/>
