Mental Health Centre, Thiruvananthapuram is located in Thiruvananthapuram District, in the Southernmost of the state of Kerala. The campus is situated about 10 kms away from the Thiruvananthapuram Central Railway Station. It was established in 1870 by Honorary Royal King of Travancore and during that period the Mental Hospital took care of patients with Epilepsy, Mental Retardation and Psychiatric conditions. Later in 1985, the hospital was renamed as Mental Health centre. Now it is a 507 bedded hospital covering 36 acres with 34 wards, pond and trees. In early years, there was no system of patient care with patient bystander. The patients who were admitted here was rejected by the Society and stayed here till the end of life. A hope and ray of light entered in this hospital by the visit of Mother Teresa in 1983. Her valuable suggestions and ideas paved a way for Public Support and foundation for various developmental activities within the hospital. Mentally ill patients from all over the country are getting admitted here and receives excellent treatment care. A Library functioning in Mental Health centre has nearly 6,000 books. These books are utilized by inpatients either in wards or by visiting library.
It's my pleasure to say that kindness and see such a hospitality there
One of the oldest and well managed mental institution in Kerala run by government. Both out patient and in patient facilities available. Service of qualified and skilled Doctors Nurses and Councillors available. Under appreciated for their contributions to the society.
a real shame to the name of hospital all those there are insane including doctors and the notorious mallu attitude prevails there too
Not good hospitality shown there... they dont support the dreams of patients.. i was not given much care.
