About
Us
Samaritan
Hospital established in 1968 is one of the prestigious
Hospitals in India. It is a Catholic hospital managed by the “sisters of the
Destitute”. In 1999 the hospitals and the associated institutions
were brought under the Samaritan Medical Care Association a Registered
Charitable Society – ER 313, 17.3.1999. It
is in Samaritan Hospital the Open Heart Surgery was started for the first
time in Kerala in 1972. This department stopped functioning in 1983 due to
economic non viability in rural setting like ours and also because
new surgical facilities offering similar services came up in the Government
setup In 1975 the pioneers of the hospital thought of having a Nursing School,
steps were taken by the authorities. Inspection was conducted by the Nursing
Council in September and sanction was accorded on 12.12.1975. We got first
circular from the Nursing Council regarding the interview of
applicants to be held on 16.12.1975.
1st
January in1976 – a memorable day – 15 energetic young girls stepped in,
to give dedicated service to the poor and needed, as good Samaritan.
Under the loving kind patronage of Mother Savio, the Superior General,
