Sisters of St. Joseph (MSJ), Nirmala Province, Ernakulam. It is one of the pioneering

institutions for mental health care in the Nongovernmental voluntary sector in Kerala.

The vision and farsightedness of “Servant of God” Msgr. Joseph C. Panjikaran,

The centre made its humble beginning with one psychiatrist, three psychiatric

nurses, one pharmacist and one laboratory technician. At present the hospital

and enthusiastic team of doctors, psychiatric nurses, psychologists, psychiatric

social workers, occupational therapists, speech language pathologists, special
