Historical Background

Fr. Muller's Medical College is a unit of Fr. Muller's Charitable Institutions, a Registered Society sponsored by the Catholic Diocese of Mangalore; is a Religious Minority Educational Institution established primarily for the benefit of the members of the Christian Community. It is open, like all other Educational Institutions under Catholic auspices, to all persons irrespective of religion, caste or community and is affiliated to Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences, Bangalore, Karnataka.

Fr. Mullers' Charitable Institutions had a very humble beginning in the year 1880 under a banyan tree where Fr. Muller, a German Jesuit Missionary started dispensing Homeopathic Medicines to the ailing poor. Though it was started as a leprosy hospital, as need arose, an allopathic Hospital was constructed and the care was extended to patients suffering from various diseases.

Gradually, Fr. Muller's humanitarian service took deep roots and branched out to be a full grown tree. Today it has become a vast complex, consisting of 1000 bedded Allopathic Hospital with all medical specialities apart from a Rehabilitation Unit, School and College of Nursing and a Homeopathic Medical College and Hospital.

The Sisters of Charity associated themselves with the good works of Fr. Muller from 1890 onwards and are still rendering dedicated service in this institution.

Since July 1990, the Postgraduate Programme in various medical disciplines started . MD in Dermatology & VD was started first, followed by several other Postgraduate Degree and Diploma courses came into existence. The Master's programme in nursing and Hospital Administration, M.Sc Psycho-social Rehabilitation and other allied sciences under-graduate programmes were started later on. The MBBS programme started from the academic year 1999.

It is noteworthy to mention that all these existing Medical and allied health science programmes offered by Fr. Muller's Charitable Institutions contribute not only towards the diverse health needs of the people but it also caters towards preparing Quality Health Care Personnel for the country at large.

Philosopy

The Management, Staff and Students of Fr. Muller's Charitable Institutions, have been inspired and guided through the years, by the motto "HEAL AND COMFORT" instilled by Fr.Muller himself whose spirit and values we cherish, maintain and promote with special thrust in bringing succour to the underprivileged, such as patients with leprosy, tuberculosis, mentally ill, alcoholics etc.

We consider Patient Care as a team work in co-operation and collaboration with all those who are involved in the care of the patient, whether in the hospital or community, adopting a holistic approach founded on Scientific and Research Findings.

We promote education of the highest quality in the Art and Science of Medicine and allied health sciences and other related professions instilling Human, Ethical, Spiritual and Christian values.

We look for excellence not only in professional skills but also in attitude and character in everyone, upholding respect for Life, Dignity of a person with humanness and a genuine feeling of compassion for patients, their attenders and families, in emulation of the 'Divine Healer-the Greatest Physician'.

As a unit of Fr. Muller's Charitable Institutions, Fr. Muller's Medical College believes and practices its philosophy and objectives. The staff and students of this Medical College will maintain the rich tradition of 'Holistic Approach' to Patient Care instilled by the Founder, Fr. Augustus Muller. Healing of the `Whole Person' - body, mind and spirit will be the total concern of everyone in this approach and not merely curing a diseased part of the human body or an ailment.

It is hoped that during the period of training, the virtues of brotherly love and compassion in a spirit of service, respect of life from the womb to the tomb, including respect for disabled and the infirm, will be imbibed by the students. They are expected not only to deepen their knowledge and develop more skills in different Medical Sciences but also to grow in "Spiritual Strength", so that they contribute towards maintaining the ethos of the institution.
