PUSHPAGIRI – A BRIEF HISTORY
 
The Catholic Church has been engaged in the ministry of healing all over the world for the past two thousand years. The same mission also drove the Founder fathers of Pushpagiri at Tiruvalla, Kerala. What started as a small clinic with eight beds in 1959 to cater to rural maternity care has now grown to a full-fledged 678 bedded, hi-tech super specialty Medical College Hospital.
 
Across a span of half a century, Pushpagiri has traveled forward with a renewed understanding and vision, ‘We Care God Cures’, which proclaims the faith of taking upon each others’ burdens and humility before the divine providence from where all cure and healing happens. The unwavering commitment of the Church to provide value-based education also saw its results initially in Nursing Education at Pushpagiri, which began as early as 1964. Following the establishment of Pushpagiri Medical Society in 1992, on the road to improvisation and expansion, Pushpagiri saw a new beginning, a decade later, in 2002 with the starting of one of the first private medical colleges in Kerala – Pushpagiri Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre. In the past decade, Pushpagiri further went along to establish premiere institutions in the field of healthcare education for Nursing (2002), Pharmacy (2004), Dental Sciences (2006), and Allied Health Sciences (2008).
