Dr.Somervell Memorial CSI Medical College, established in 2002, attached to the Dr.Somervell Memorial Mission Hospital is at Karakonam, a village, in the Southern border of the Trivandrum District of the State of Kerala. The Hospital, the Medical College and all other institutions attached are owned by the South Kerala Diocese of the Church of South India (SIUC) and managed by the South Kerala Medical Mission. The South Kerala Medical Mission is a Charitable Society registered under the Travancore Cochin Literary, Scientific and Charitable Societies Registration Act XII of 1955. The office of the South Kerala Medical Mission is in the LMS Compound, the Head Office of the CSI South Kerala Diocese.
The Medical College is a self financing, minority institution affiliated to the University of Kerala.
Karakonam is 30 kilometers South (by Kanyakumari Road) from Trivandrum Central Railway Station, abutting the Vellarada Road from Trivandrum as well as Parassala State Transport buses and private vehicles frequently ply on the road. Dhanuvachapuram Railway station on the railway line between Trivandrum Central and Nagercoil is only 3 kms from the college.
The College aims at producing highly competent medical graduates and postgraduates, possessing a high standard of professional skill. They should, in the days to come, be precious assets to our Nation. We are committed to create in the campus the best possible atmosphere and infrastructure for quality medical education. Our aim is to strive at instilling our students with a spirit of sacrifice, compassion for the poor, love that knows no limits, utmost humility in service and all those Christian values needed for a meaningful and useful life of a doctor for which the founding fathers stood and sacrificed their lives.
HISTORY OF THE MEDICAL COLLEGE HOSPITAL IN BRIEF:
The Multi-specialty Hospital at Karakonam as we see it today has grown out of a very small dispensary established in 1894 as a community medical center of the famous Neyyoor Hospital by Dr.Arthur Fells, a missionary doctor of the London Missionary Society (LMS), The dispensary, though 45 kilometers away from Neyyoor was regularly visited by the doctors to render medical help to the poor, illiterate, ignorant and ignored villagers afflicted by epidemics like malaria, cholera and small pox. The first building built for the dispensary is still kept in tact in the hospital compound.
In 1922, Dr.T.H.Somervell, one of the members of the team that came to India for Everest expedition later on became a legend in the field of healing ministry and surgery, took over the Neyyoor Medical Mission. He too visited Karakonam and continued to serve the poor as his forerunners did. Dr.Somervell gradually extended his work into the Malayalam area. The Hospital and the Medical College are named after this great physician.
After India became independent and the foreign missionaries left, the Neyyoor Medical Mission was managed by the erstwhile South Travancore Medical Mission of the South India United Church (SIUC). In 1947, SIUC became part of the CSI. In 1959, following the linguistic reorganization of the States in India, the South Travancore Diocese was bifurcated into the South Kerala and the Kanyakumari dioceses. The hospital at Karakonam, though came under the Kanyakumari diocese was later taken over by the Medical Mission of the South
Kerala Diocese.
THE HOSPITAL TODAY
