Bishop Benziger Hospital

To perpetuate the memory of his illustrious predecessor Bishop Aloysius Maria Benziger, Bishop Jerome Fernandez, the first Indian Bishop of the catholic diocese of Kollam, conceived the idea of building a memorial. An agreement was made to build a hospital with the consent of the community.

Thus, the Bishop Benziger Hospital was established on a four-acre plot of land in the heart of Kollam town. This hospital started operating on the anniversary of Bishop Benziger’s death, 17th August 1948. In Kollam, it was the first private hospital. On 8th December 1948, the Hospital was officially inaugurated. It is owned and operated by the Latin Catholic Diocese of Quilon. Because this is a charitable organization, it is not a profit-oriented organization. All profits generated by the institution are reinvested in it for the benefit of the public. Therefore, the growth of the institution is to the use of the public it aspires to serve and loves with all of its heart.
