Established on 4th February 2007, and managed by the Catholic Diocese of Cochin, the hospital is situated on a sprawling 25 acre campus. The hospital will be developed into a 500 bed multi super speciality hospital for the poor and needy people of the entire area. The students of FIMS undergo practical training at Fatima Hospital. Recently, on March 31, 2010, a new Block, named after our former Patron and late Bishop of the Diocese of Cochin, the Rt.Rev. Dr. Joseph Kureethara, who had the vision and insight to purchase the land and to put up a very small structure, due to paucity of funds, at that time, was opened by our present Bishop, the Rt.Rev. Dr. Joseph Kariyil with 16 rooms on 31st March 2010, known as the BISHOP JOSEPH KUREETHARA BLOCK. We started the Hospital with only the following departments: General Medicine, Surgery, ENT, Orthopaedics, Ophthalmology, Cardiology, Gynaecology and Paediatrics. Up-to-date, the number of patients who have had treatment in the Hospital is 1,30,871. So now, we are doing our very best to expand the bed strength of the hospital from the present 200 beds to our goal of a 500-bedded hospital in the not too distant future. Dr. Joseph Kariyil is fully behind our plans and extends every support in order that we might realise our goals and our dreams! Our Vision:
Fatima HospitalOur Hospital was opened in a very small way with only 100 beds on 4 February 2007. In the three years that we have been operational, we have now, with the blessings of our God and Lord Jesus Christ, upgraded our Hospital to cater to the needs of 200 patients and in the future we envisage the opening and training of a large number of Nursing staff in our Nursing College, which, though presently situated in Edacochin, will, with the grace of God in the not too distant future, be incorporated into its rightful place- which is, within the campus of Fatima Hospital itself. Our Mission:
To empower the beneficiaries of the Diocese in enabling them to procure Health-related services at a very low and affordable cost, keeping in mind the high cost of health care that is available in and around us. Our services should enable the recipients to feel that they are someone special and the services rendered by the staff of Fatima Hospital should portray the loving and caring nature displayed by the Lord himself.
