dc.description.abstractIndia's health system is currently experiencing rapid change. Achieving India's aspirations for improved population health and universal health coverage will require the contribution of all health providers; public, private-for-profit, not-for-profit, and charitable providers. Among the largest charitable providers in India are Christian mission hospitals, who have played a historic role in healthcare delivery to the poor and underserved. This study explored the main internal and external challenges facing mission hospitals, their response to those challenges, and the role they might play in the broader health system going forward. Methods: The study employed interdisciplinary methodology to assess the top challenges and responses between 2010-2017. The theory of everyday resilience was used to categorize challenges as chronic stresses or acute shocks and to explore features of resilience in responses to challenges, along with the underlying capabilities that enable resilience responses.en_US
