| HISTORY |
| |
| In
1962, MAR THOMAS THARAYIL,
Bishop of Kottayam, in collaboration with the selected
few of German benevolent people started the venture
of health care naming it ‘CARITAS’.
The word itself adheres to the recommendations of
the 1946 Bhore committee report “to ensure
medical care for every individual including those
who cannot pay for it’’. |
 |
|
Inefficiency of the system, deficiency of proper
planning, lack of true commitment and above all,
wide spread corruption, have led to the deplorable
situation that the health mission of ‘CARITAS
HOSPITAL’ has to play a vital
role in alleviating pain of the sick and the suffering,
especially to those who cannot afford adequate treatment.
Spread over 23 acres of scenic hinterlands, 4 kilometers
from Government Medical College and just seven kilometers
from Kottayam, CARITAS
is the embodiment of modern medical care. |

The unconditional support and enlightened vision of Mar
KURIAKOSE KUNNACHERY,
the Bishop of Kottayam, the hospital has grown to a world-class
manifold academic and community based hospital that is from
a 50-bedded hospital to a 510-bed strength hospital. Footing
on the strong guidance of Mar Mathew Moolakattu, the co-adjutor
Bishop of Kottayam, the hospital will grow to its renowned
heights. It now cares more than 2 lakhs OUT
PATIENTS and almost 10,000 IN-PATIENTS
each year. 35 reputed departments functions round the clock
in the hospital. Authentic and well-versed senior doctors
and energetic and aspiring junior doctors do work as a team
to uphold the health care system the hospital has earned
its cherishing and memorable years of service in the sphere
of health care. Self-immolated and christianized charity
motivated religious sister nurses and service- based staff
nurses and student nurses, excels the nursing service department.
Committed and skilled paramedical services and other hard
working auxiliary services do make the hospital the best
in central Kerala.
