The history of St Martha’s Hospital is rooted in the fact that it offers quality medical care to all those who come to them. For those who need a helping hand, St Martha’s has a track record of never turning a needy person away. In lines with this truly service-oriented character of the hospital, a free health check-up camp was conducted on the premises of St. Martha’s College of Nursing on the 10th of July 2015 from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm for the retirees of Neyveli Lignite Corporation(NLC) retirees.

A separate clinic undertook the ECG procedure for all those who required it. Multiple counters were set up for registration, measure of height,weight and blood pressure as well GRBS checkup. This smoothened the whole process and ensured that the patients were comfortable throughout the time they were at the camp.
Speaking on the camp, Mr. Jayakar Jerome, Director of St Martha’s hospital said, We have always been a hospital that is at the service of all members of society. We understand that senior citizens have specific medical needs and therefore tried to be as comprehensive as we could we could with this camp.
