The Catholic Church has been engaged in the ministry of healing all over the world for the past two thousand years. The Founders of Pushpagiri at Tiruvalla, Kerala, India were also driven by the same mission. What started as a small clinic with eight beds in 1959 to cater to rural maternity care has now grown into a full-fledged 900 bed hi-tech super-specialty Medical College Hospital. Across a span of 60 years, Pushpagiri has travelled forward with a renewed understanding and vision – “We Care God Cures” which proclaims the faith of taking upon each other’s' burdens and humility before the divine providence from where all cure and healing happens. Pushpagiri is known not only for its world class medical facilities and Christian service, but also for the numerous medical and paramedical teaching institutions like the Pushpagiri Institute of Medical Sciences & Research Centre, Pushpagiri College of Dental Sciences, Pushpagiri College of Pharmacy, Pushpagiri College of Nursing, Pushpagiri Institute of Allied Health Sciences, Pushpagiri Centre for CGFNS & IELTS Training, Pushpagiri Research Centre and Pushpagiri Centre for Virology.
