ABOUT
Overview
Moved by the health situation of women in pregnancy and newborn children in Travancore, His Excellency Zacharias Mar Athanasios, the third Bishop of the Archdiocese of Tiruvalla, started a clinic, which later turned into a centre for training girls, especially nurses. The strength and vitality of this institution are nothing but the spiritual foundation laid by this great prelate, Mar Theophilos. This was a historic moment in the history of Travancore that made manifold changes in the lives of families and in the healthcare system. Due to the blessings of the Lord, especially through the intercession of the Blessed Mother and St. Therese of Lisieux, and through the hard work of the priests, doctors, nurses, and other staff, Pushpagiri has grown to be one of the best medical institutes in Kerala. Recently, it has secured the 10th position in health research in the world, especially in the field of endocrinology.
