Glass Factory Rd, North Kalamassery
St. Joseph's Hospital Trust • Est. 1888
The foundation of clinical training for S J College of Nursing — Kerala's first mission hospital, with 300+ beds and a 138-year tradition of humanitarian medical service.
One of the greatest advantages of studying at S J College of Nursing, Kalamassery is our direct physical attachment to our parent institution, St. Joseph's Hospital Trust, Manjummel.
Unlike institutions that send students to distant third-party clinics, our nursing students receive immersive bedside experience within our own multi-specialty hospital complex every single day. Under the guidance of experienced medical consultants and nursing superintendents, students gain hands-on clinical confidence across acute care, critical emergencies, maternity, surgeries, and community health.

Founded by Brother Nicholas Verhoven, OCD in 1888, St. Joseph's Hospital pioneered modern surgical and medical relief in central Kerala. Br.
