Thrissur lies at the heart of Kerala, and in many ways, it exacerbates Kerala’s own dynamic in cultural integrity. Not only has it been a major point of contact among Kerala’s own ethnic populations today, but its historical significance lies in being the first point of contact between India and various different cultures across the globe from the French, Dutch, British, Portuguese, and so many more. Its festivals, like the Thrissur Pooram, attract millions to its streets, and its academic institutions are the most sought out in the state, bringing about thousands of students both in their preparations for higher education and the very colleges they wish to become a part of.

Jubilee Mission Medical College & Research Institute stands out among Thrissur’s Medical establishments, despite its stature as a private institute. Its motto of ‘Service with love’ exudes through its holistic approach in providing healthcare accessible to even those at the lowest rungs of society. The hospital is one of the oldest medical facilities to exist in Thrissur from its inception in 1951 as a small dispensary, to now have grown into one among Kerala’s largest and best medical centers and research institutions. Today, it boasts of a massive faculty of over 3,800 with an official bed strength of 1,750 and an innumerable volume of added support staff. It has been 19 years since the Medical College commenced and its influence in producing prominent medical professionals and nurturing the future of India’s medical backbone is undeniable.
