A Contemporary Art Exhibition of 15 Artists on Jan 3,4 & 5, 2008 at Academic Block organised by JMMC Students Union.
The overwhelming support and generous help that Jubilee Mission has received from the well wishers and the general public, especially from the districts of Thrissur, Palakkad and Malappuram has been the major cause of our steady growth over the past 55 years. The 20 bed Jubilee Mission Hospital of 1952 has grown into 1500 bed tertiary care teaching hospital and still live up to the nick-name - “Poor Man’s Hospital” through charitable service. JUBILEE HRUDAYALAYA, the 20,000 sq.m. exclusive Cardio Vascular Care Unit coming up on the campus is our 55th Anniversary gift. The unit will have a Surgical Suite with 4 Operating Rooms, Cardiac Catheterisation Lab, 24 bed Intensive Coronary Care Unit as well as 24 bed Cardio Vascular Surgical Intensive Care Unit. The Jubilee Hrudayalaya aims to provide quality cardiac care at affordable cost to all.
Dr. Sharan Patil, the Director of the Sparsh Hospital, Bangalore expressed the view that no single doctor will be able to take the Indian Medical Scenario to international levels. Team work, dedication and a chip for excellence is the triad behind the success of the complicated surgery on the 2 year old child Lakshmi, he added. Though institutions are concentrated around cities, a doctor’s mission should also include the rural folk. Doctors in India are second to none in their skills. Dr. Sharan Patil and Dr. Yohannan John were presenting a paper ‘Lakshmi to life’ in connection with the 55th anniversary of Jubilee Mission, Thrissur on 11th December 2007. Mayor Prof. R. Bindu was the Chief Guest, Fr. Dr. Francis Alapatt, Dr. K.S. Pillai, Dr. Sunny Pazhayattil and Dr. V.K. Ramankutty spoke on the occasion. Earlier on the day, Mgr. Joseph Kakkassery hoisted the anniversary flag.
President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam said medical practice should aim at healing not just the body, but also the mind. Addressing 300 students of the Jubilee Mission Medical College and Research Institute the President said ideal medical treatment was a synthesis of aspects of physiology and psychiatry. The President made the students take an oath of treating at least 20 rural patients a year at minimum cost, providing quality health care to the underprivileged, encouraging development of indigenous medical equipment and realizing that medical professionals were in God's mission.
Affordable healthcare: "You should gear up to provide affordable health care to 700 million people in 6 lakh villages in the country. You must take up research in heart care, thrombosis, HIV, AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, hepatitis and eye care. Your colleges should take you for work in rural areas at least once a month. Rural medical camps should be a part of your curriculum," he told the students. When a student asked him about his views on Kerala, the President said that in human development index, the State was rated number one in the country. He made the students read a statement, "We are born with a divine fire. Our efforts should be to give wings to this fire and fill the world with the glow of its goodness."
Setting an example of communal harmony, the Jubilee Mission Medical College and Research Institute is adorning its 'altar'' with a ''red-parasol,'' presented by a temple on all Fridays and during special occasions. Fr. Dr. Francis Alappatt, Director and CEO of the Jubilee Mission considers that the 'umbrella,' presented by Paramekkavu Devaswom in the city, was not just a 'special gift'' but a living example of communal harmony.
The parasol was presented to the Institution by the Paramekkavu Devasom in 2006 as gratitude to the service rendered by the Jubilee Mission Hospital for saving the lives of seven pyrotechnicians. The pyrotechnicians had suffered severe burn injuries in an explosion, a few days ahead of the Thrissur Pooram, at a cracker manufacturing unit at Padookkad. The tragedy occurred when the pyrotechnicians were engaged in making crackers for the grand fireworks display marking the conclusion of the world famous Thrissur pooram of 2006. The injured were admitted to hospital and realising the seriousness of their injuries, hospital authorities constituted a special medical core-team with physicians, plastic surgeons and special trained medical staff in attending burn cases to treat the injured people.
