Administrator’s Note

Welcome to MJKM Cancer Hospital (Prathyasa). Our journey began with a simple yet profound purpose: to ensure that high-quality cancer care is never out of reach for those who need it most. As a charitable institution managed by the Assisi Sisters of Mary Immaculate, we do not view healthcare as a business, but as a sacred calling.By bringing advanced medical technologies and highly skilled oncologists to a rural setting, we eliminate the need for families to travel long distances during their most difficult moments. Every department, from diagnostics to advanced surgery and radiation, works in harmony under our single roof. We stand by you not just as medical professionals, but as a family, dedicated to guiding you toward hope, healing, and recovery.

MJKMCRC –PRATHYASA- Inspiration to start a cancer centre originated from few incidents that took place in our S.H.Hospital. We witnessed the death of young and middle aged cancer patients. A young woman of 25years soon after giving birth to her second child detected to have cancer which was not known early, died within 30 days. A middle aged man who wished to live for another 5 more years died within 5 days, these incidents were heart breaking. It has opened a way to think how can we help our cancer brethren? Pooled our thoughts (doctors, engineers, architects, Physicists etc;) put into action facing all risks and difficulties now come into reality. That is our Pratyasa (prathyasa means good hope, in Malayalam language). This center is constructed solely with donations of our people. All have co-operated & contributed their share, both rich and poor. When there was shortage of resources Sr.Micheal Francis and myself went for begging. No one questioned, they helped us with what they have, just like the “poor widow” in the Gospel- exactly the same incident happened! I received Rs.30 from one person ( he had only so much in his hand told me he wished to help cancer patients but only Rs.20, he doubted do I receive it or not. Of course was the answer and opened my both hands before him but he gave Rs.30 instead of 20! given all what he had in his pocket !) for the construction. 10 bricks of MJKMCRC –PRATYASA are from his donation. This donation I consider as most precious one since he had given me all what he had. We had only one intention, to provide the best treatment for cancer patients. Taken loan from the bank to bring the machine, still it is there. So many people helped us in various ways. I do remember all of them with love, gratitude and offer our prayers. We have only one desire & prayer let all the patients who come into Pratyasa has to get the Touch of God and healed. The patients come inside our hospital used to say we feel serenity, peace and homeliness. Most of them get healing too. Jesus came into the world to give life ,life in abundance(JN.10/10) Our patients experience it.
