Tiruvalla Medical Mission (TMM) Hospital is a major hospital[1] and a nursing education institution located in Tiruvalla, Kerala, India. It is managed by The Dewan Bahadur Dr. V. Verghese Hospital Trust Association.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
The hospital was founded in 1935 by Dewan Bahadur Dr. V. Verghese,[2] the former personal physician to the Maharaja of Cochin.[3] He established a small hospital on a wooded hillock near the Tiruvalla railway station.[4]
In 1940, Dr. Verghese constituted a charitable trust and handed over the hospital to medical missionaries of the Brethren persuasion.[2] The trust is registered as a charitable society under the Travancore Cochin Literary, Scientific and Charitable Societies Registration Act, 1955.[1]
A nurses training course was started at the hospital in 1943, marking the beginning of the TMM School of Nursing.[2] The school was recognized by the Indian Nursing Council in 1950.[5] The institution expanded its education by founding the TMM College of Nursing in 2004.[5]
Services and governance[edit | edit source]
TMM Hospital offers services across various medical specialties and operates a busy emergency department.[6][7] The trust also runs community outreach programs.[2]
The hospital is governed by the aforementioned charitable trust.[1] As of 2019, the institution's chief executive officer was Mr. George Koshy.[4]
Legacy[edit | edit source]
The institution celebrated 90 years of service in 2025.[2] The School of Nursing, established in 1943, is noted as one of the earliest private nursing institutions in Central Travancore.[2]
