Lourdes Hospital (Kerala)
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Lourdes Hospital is a 750-bed, tertiary care hospital, located in Cochin, Kerala, India. It is one of the oldest hospitals in Cochin and has recently upgraded its facilities with a new block housing the cardiology and neurology services, Lourdes Heart institute. Archbishop Joseph Attipetty founded Lourdes Hospital on 1 August 1965 in order to render healthcare to the people in Cochin and its neighbouring islands. It initially catered to the mainly fishing population of the nearby Vypeen and Bolghatty Islands, but later expanded to serve a larger population of southern Cochin and the Lakshadweep islands.
