Short Story About Mater Hospital

Mater Misericordiae Hospital was opened in 1962 by the Sisters of Mercy, a Catholic Order of Nuns originating from Ireland, three years after registering themselves as the Registered Trustees of an entity under the Perpetual Succession Act (the succeeding legislation after independence). Between 1972 and 1986 the hospital expanded in various ways:

1
School of Midwifery — A larger and more efficient Casualty, Accident & Emergency Department, an Intensive Care Unit, and a Cardiac Unit where open-heart surgery is performed were also opened.
2
A consultant block comprising six offices was opened, enabling specialized consultants to practice on-site and provide improved medical services to patients.
3
The hospital opened its own pharmacy, physiotherapy, and laboratory services. A counselling centre for both patients and staff was also established.
