Years of Dedicated, prayerful and sincere Patient Care

Way back in 1943, Shri. P. C. George encouraged by Rev. C. M. John, vicar of St Peter’s Mar Thoma Church Manganam ( later His Grace Most Rev. Yuhanon Mar Thoma Metropolitan ), started Mandiram Hospital as a dispensary for the inmates of Agathi Mandiram and the people of local community. Over the years, Mandiram Hospital acted as a beacon of quality healthcare, serving tens of thousands of patients. It is now a 200 bedded multispeciality hospital with more than 20 departments and around 45 doctors.
