Our Mission
At Soddo Christian Hospital, every patient is treated with dignity—regardless of ability to pay. We serve people of all backgrounds and all religions, seeking to reflect Christ’s love in both word and deed.

To advance the kingdom of God by becoming the hospital of choice for patients and health care professionals in the Horn of Africa.
Excellence and compassion belong together.
Our Core Values (H.E.A.R.T.)
Honesty
We walk in integrity, reflecting Christ in all that we do.
Excellence
We pursue the highest standards of medical care and discipleship.
Attitude
We serve with humility, gratitude, and joy, as unto the Lord.
Responsibility
We steward every resource wisely—our time, our skills, and our calling.
Teamwork
We work together as one body, unified in Christ for the sake of others.
Training for Multiplying Impact
Through PAACS, SCH operates fully accredited five-year residencies in General and Orthopedic Surgery—training African physicians in surgical excellence and Christian discipleship.
Discipleship in Practice
Discipleship is woven into daily life at SCH—staff Bible studies, chaplain visits, beside prayer, and mentoring within PAACS. We serve patients of all backgrounds and all religions with dignity and compassion.
Our aim is simple: live the Gospel as we care for the sick and encourage one another to grow in Christ.
Statement of Faith
Our beliefs reflect the historic Christian faith and guide every aspect of our work and care.
We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative Word of God.
We believe in one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory.
We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful people, repentance and faith in Jesus Christ result in regeneration by the Holy Spirit. We affirm that Jesus Christ is the only way of salvation.
We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, whose indwelling enables the Christian to live a godly life.
We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost — the saved unto eternal life, and the lost unto eternal punishment.
We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, and that all true believers are members of His body, the Church.
We believe that the ministry of evangelism is the responsibility of both the Church and every Christian.
