Owned and run by the Good Shepherd Sisters, St Martha’s Hospital has given the people of Bangalore, especially the poorer sections, compassionate medical and nursing care. From treating victims of plague in the late 1870s, St Martha’s Hospital has come a long way.
The superior of the convent, Mother Visitation Loesch, took the lead in the setting up of the hospital, which began with contributions from the public. Within a short span, a sum of Rs13,000 was raised, sufficient those days to put up the required buildings. The hospital had then accommodated 50 in-patients.
