Humble Beginnings to Multi Specialty Hospital
St. Theresa’s Hospital started as a small dispensary in Somajiguda, Hyderabad that catered to suburban patients in the year 1960. At that time main focus on primary preventive care and nursing Care. Over the decades, this dispensary was shifted to Sanath Nagar and converted into a general hospital for the community under the wings of JMJ Sisters.
St. Theresa’s Multi Specialty Hospital is charitable institution belonging to and run by the Society of Jesus Mary and Joseph. St. Theresa’s General Hospital was officially opened on 25th of February 1974. With the passage of time, innovations in medicine and a burgeoning population brought about an evolution that transformed the institution into a multi-specialty hospital that has also nurtured as multispecialty and academic institutions. Just as illness is blind to social and economic considerations, we believe that quality healthcare is a basic right of everyone.
