“A world where everyone receives holistic and accessible healthcare, guided by the compassionate love of Jesus Christ”

“We foster integrated health for all while empowering the vulnerable, women and children”

   Maria Nilayam, Adimalathura, was established by the Southern Province of the Missionary Sisters of the Queen of the Apostles (SRA Sisters). Healing ministry through the Maria Nilayam Hospital is the expression of the mission of the congregation, unwavering commitment of service to the people especially the vulnerable communities, women and children with compassionate love of Jesus. Responding to the request of the diocesan bishop and the parishioners to assist in addressing the pastoral, medical, and educational needs of the local population, Maria Nilayam Convent was established on July 20, 1988. Recognizing the urgent health needs of the village a dispensary was began in a rented house on September 1, 1988 and late Rev. Sr. M. Priscilla, a trained nurse, began offering essential medical care, marking the beginning of the congregation’s healthcare ministry in the region. To expand and formalize this mission, the Maria Nilayam Health Centre was constructed and inaugurated on March 7, 1995. Designed as a mother and child care centre with outpatient (OP) and inpatient (IP) facilities, the new Health Centre, soon became a cornerstone of healthcare delivery in the locality. This initiative is not just a medical intervention but an extension of the congregation’s broader mission to serve and uplift the community.
   After 18 years, in 2012 the health centre was upgraded to a 20 bedded hospital at Ambalathumoola. The infra-structure facilities like operation theatre, well equipped labour room, advanced laboratory with auto analyser, ECG, X-ray, Ultrasound scanning facilities; Medical ICU etc are now available in Maria Nilayam Hospital.
