The hospital was established by Dr Austin Da Silva as
Silverene, a private 10-bed
nursing home. In 1953, it was expanded into a small general hospital with 22 beds and given its current name. The administration handed over to the
Medical Mission Sisters. The
Congregation of the Ursuline Sisters of Mary Immaculate took charge in 1978 and began raising funds for expanding the infrastructure. By 1985, the hospital had 120 beds. Infrastructure and medical technology were upgraded and the hospital building expanded to become the 268-bed institution it is today. == Management Committee ==
