The Catholic Archdiocese of Trichur, right
from its inception in 1887, has made remarkable and effective
contributions in the fields of health care, education, social
welfare and development of the community in central Kerala. The
strong presence of the Church has made a positive impact on the
educational, socioeconomic, cultural and health indicators of
the region. As on 2006, the catholic
community of Trichur renders its services to the sick and the
suffering irrespective of caste, creed or religion through 5
hospitals, 34 dispensaries, 2 counselling centres, 5 medical
training centres that include a medical college and 11
rehabilitation or care centres for people living with incurable
diseases, AIDS or leprosy, physical or mental handicaps or
disabilities, drug-alcohol addiction, etc.
As part of the healing mission of the Archdiocese, on 17th
December 1951, a small dispensary was begun at Thrissur. As a
result of the self-sacrifice, exceptional dedication and above
all heavenly providence, the small dispensary has now grown into
Jubilee Mission Medical College & Research Institute with 1450
bedded multi specialty Hospital with facilities for medical
education such as Medical College, College of Nursing, School of
Nursing and an array of allied health science courses. |
