History
The Caritas Hospital foundation stone was laid by Cardinal Tiserang in the presence of Mar Thomas Tharayil on 27 November 1953. The roughly six acre site of the hospital was donated by Joseph Vallapally's widow and children. In 1962 Mar Thomas Tharayil, Bishop of Kottayam, in collaboration with a few Germans, started the healthcare venture and named it 'CARITAS'.[1][2][3]
