i. Aims ANd oBJeCTiVes

iNTroduCTioN : The Catholic Church in India has always played an important role in the fields of education, health care, social welfare and development of the community. The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India (C.B.C.I.) in response to a felt need decided to establish a Medical College and Teaching Hospital “to provide for the relief of suffering, to promote and preserve the health of the community and to give an example of enlightened training in dedicated service, which is characteristic of Christian education and social welfare institutions.” St. John’s Medical College and Hospital and School of Nursing were started in 1963, 1975 and 1980, respectively, at Bangalore by the C.B.C.I. Society for Medical Education. The School of Nursing was upgraded to the College of Nursing in 1989.

Aims : While the Institution is intended primarily for training Catholics and especially dedicated personnel like Religious Sisters who are conducting a large number of hospitals and dispensaries mainly in medically under-served and rural areas of our country, it is open, like all other educational institutions under Catholic auspices, to all persons irrespective of religion, caste or community.

The Institution seeks to make a qualitative contribution to health care, medical education and research through the training of medical, paramedical, nursing, health management, community health workers, and other personnel who are dedicated to healing in the Spirit of Christ.

The College Hospital is intended to assist in the training and to render service in health care to all people irrespective of religion, caste or community, particularly the underprivileged and disadvantaged.

oBJeCTiVes : Under the overall policy of the C.B.C.I. Society for Medical Education, the objectives of the Institution are grouped as follows:

1. Excellence in all fields of health care education.2. Adequate Christian formation of the students.3. Upholding respect for life, from the moment of conception to its

natural end.

10

4. A genuine feeling of compassion for the patients and their families as persons.

5. A special thrust to Community Health fostering the dimensions of participatory team work.

6. Serving the health needs of medically under-served areas of our country and our medically underprivileged brethren.

7. Acquiring the ability to research, and application of the advances in scientific knowledge to the relevant fields of work.

8. Striving towards promoting holistic health.

9. Acquiring an exemplary steadfastness to principles and moral values so as to witness to a life of honesty and integrity.

Right from its inception St. John’s set before it an ideal of excellence in academic courses as well as service to society, as a result of which it has truly become holistic both in its outlook and in its approach to the problems of community health.

This Institution of Health and Healing envisages also the training and participation of the community - including the rural folk and the slum dwellers - in health care, in its preventive, promotive and rehabilitative aspects.

The Institution expects its students to uphold the ethical values and principles of morality as interpreted by the Catholic Church. The prospective student has the freedom to choose or reject these, but the choice is made before enrollment.

The Institution prepares students for the role of future leaders, loyal to the highest ideals of the health profession. Today’s Doctors, Nurses and other Health Care Professionals are part of a team who deliver comprehensive health care. Often they are called upon to be leaders in society helping in all developmental activities. Health is both a means and an end of development improving the quality of life. The students in medical and health care sciences, therefore, should be conscious of social, economic and other factors, the improvement of which will bring about the necessary transformation to make it possible for all in this country and the world to lead a healthy human existence.

ii. HisTory

The Catholic Church in India had long felt the need of adding a Medical College to the many educational and social welfare institutions through which over the years, it has served the country. However, the complexities such a venture involved, delayed its active consideration until the proposal was pursued by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India. At the request of the C.B.C.I., the late Archbishop of Madras, the Most Rev. Louis Mathias, SDB, prepared and presented a report in 1954, in which he reviewed the total requirement of the project. In 1956, Archbishop Mathias with the aid of medical and financial experts, submitted a comprehensive scheme to the C.B.C.I., and in September 1960, the C.B.C.I. took the decision to establish a Medical College, with an attached hospital at Bangalore.

His Holiness Pope John XXIII agreed to the College being called after his patron, St. John the Baptist, as a mark of his personal interest in the project, and of his approval of its aims and ideals. The College was accordingly named “St. John’s Medical College” and opened in temporary premises at Bangalore in July 1963.

In the course of their Joint Pastoral issued in connection with the XXXVIII International Eucharistic Congress, held in Bombay in 1964, the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India announced their choice of the College project as the Chief Memorial of the Congress. This choice received the warm approval of His Holiness, Pope Paul VI, which was conveyed by him in a special message addressed to His Eminence, Valerian Cardinal Gracias, the then President of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India, and President of the C.B.C.I. Society for Medical Education. His Holiness has also established a scholarship in the College in his own name, to be awarded, each year, to the best all-round student completing the MBBS course.

The Corner Stone of the Project was blessed by His Holiness at Bombay during the principal function of the Congress, held on December 3, 1964, at which he officiated. It was laid at the Project site on July 27, 1965 by His Excellency, Shri V.V. Giri, the then Governor of Karnataka, and later, President of India. On the completion of the buildings, the College was dedicated to the cause of Medical Education, Research and Care, on September 29,

12

1968, at a ceremony presided over by the late President of India, His Excellency Dr. Zakir Hussain.

Prior to the completion of these buildings, the College was located in the premises of St. Mary’s Industrial School and Orphanage, which were made available by His Grace Archbishop Thomas Pothacamury of Bangalore for the teaching of pre-clinical and para-clinical subjects.

St. Martha’s Hospital conducted by the Sisters of the Good Shepherd Congregation was affiliated to the College for Clinical Teaching. The Hospital was extended and suitably equipped for the purpose. This hospital provided a practical example of the spirit of service and sacrifice, which the College strives to make its own and carry beyond itself, to the homes of the patients and the community, both in the urban and in the rural areas. The affiliation of the Hospital to the College has been discontinued from 1983.

Campus : In June 1968, five years after its establishment, the College moved to its permanent campus on a 140 acres site situated in the periphery of the city of Bangalore. During the first phase of construction, the following were completed: the teaching centre (housing the pre-clinical and para-clinical departments and lecture theatres); four blocks of students’ hostel; and some residences for the teaching staff.

st. John’s medical College Hospital : The construction work of the second phase consisting of a 800-bed hospital, Nurses’ hostel and residences of Staff was started in April 1971. The Out-patient departments were opened on December 8, 1975. Thereafter, the in-patient departments were opened gradually. With the third phase of construction completed in 1987, the campus has all the required facilities including a beautiful auditorium, with 1100 seats, from 1996, as a memorial of the Silver Jubilee of this institution. At present St. John’s Medical College Hospital has 1350 in — patient beds, distributed among the Departments of General Medicine, Medical Oncology, Endocrinology, General Surgery, Surgical Oncology, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Gynaecologic Oncology, Paediatrics, Paediatric Surgery, Radiology, Psychiatry, Thoracic Surgery, Dental Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Ophthalmology, Dermatology, Venerology and Leprology, Genito -Urinary Surgery, ENT Diseases, Nephrology, Orthopaedics, Intensive Care, Cardiac Care, Cardiology, Neurology, Neuro-Surgery,

13

Gastroenterology, Emergency Medicine, Anaesthesiology, Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, Pain and Palliative Care, Pulmonary Medicine, Neonatology, Transfusion Medicine, Geriatic Medicine, Critical Care Medicine, Radio immuno-Assay and Hemo-Dialysis. This is the teaching Hospital of our College.

The College of Nursing is situated in the College & Hospital Sector. Started as a School of Nursing on July 1, 1980, it was raised to the status of a College of Nursing on September 25, 1989 and conducts courses in General Nursing & Midwifery, Basic B.Sc., Post Certificate B.Sc. and M.Sc. Nursing Courses in Medical Surgical, Community Health, Paediatrics, Obst. and Gynae and Psychiatry.

In December 1994, the Institution was re-named as St. John’s National Academy of Health Sciences and five institutes were placed under it:

1) St. John’s Medical College;2) St. John’s College of Nursing;3) St. John’s Institute of Hospital Administration and Allied Health

Sciences;4) St. John’s Medical College Hospital;5) St. John’s Research Institute

In the Consequent years from 2000 a number of Super Speciality courses (DM & M.Ch) were introduced in the teaching hospital. As of now, we have the following Super Speciality Departments: Cardiology/Cardio Troracic Surgery / Critical Care Medicine / Endocrinology/Gastroenterology / Gynaecologic Oncology / Medical Oncology/Neonatology / Nephrology / Neurology / Neurosurgery / Paediatric Surgery / Palliative Medicine / Plastic Surgery / Reconstructive Surgery & Burns / Pulmonary Medicine / Radiation Oncology / Surgical Oncology / Urology.

In 2014, The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike honoured the St. John's Medical College & Hospital with Kempe Gowda Award - 2014 in recognition for its contribution to Health Care given in the Metropolitan City.

14

In the year 2015, the Times of India honoured St. John's Medical College & Hospital with best Multi Speciality Hospital Award in India.

The Academy started Post Graduate Course in Hospital Administration (MHA) in the year 2015 with an intake of 30 seats.

The Medical College celebrated its Golden Jubilee during the year 2013-2014 and it was proposed to create necessary infrastructure in Medical College to increase intake of MBBS admissions from 60 seats to 150 seats. A Golden Jubilee Block was constructed attached to the existing Medical College Building with all infrastructures as per the requirements of Medical Council of India.

Ch: St. John’s! with pride my song resounds; I hail thy pennant blue, gold, white. St. John’s! thy spirit in me bounds; Be thou my guide my beacon light.

1. There stirs thy call within my heart In thee this pledge I seal: To raise the ill shall be my part, To minister, to heal. With ev’ry moment born in time, Through deep eternity, Thy vision will endure, sublime: HE SHALL LIVE BECAUSE OF ME.

2. Sustained within God’s grace I stand; Thy yoke, so light, I bear: Where’er I toil, love guide my hand, Inspire my promised care. Love stoke my hopes, my fears belie; Love set my courage free; While yet my lips have breath to sigh: HE SHALL LIVE BECAUSE OF ME.

3. Through India’s far flung rustic lands, Where need is most, I serve; No bounds restrain my willing hands, No efforts I reserve. And on thy campus, high or low, Where’er my calling be, In thee my solemn oath shall grow: HE SHALL LIVE BECAUSE OF ME.

41

The EMBLEM of this Institution portrays a man lying with sickness being helped to rise, and given renewed life by Christ, who is signified by the Cross, on which He died, and which is a symbol of love.

The motto of the emblem, HE SHALL LIVE BECAUSE OF ME, links this Institution with the XXXVIII International Eucharistic Congress held in Bombay in December 1964, of which it is the Chief Memorial. The motto is a constant reminder to our Staff and Students that they are God’s collaborators in their care of human lives.

The colour scheme: The cross is WHITE, signifying purity of spirit; the body of the man lying down is BLUE, signifying aspiration towards heavenly things; and the background is GOLD or YELLOW, signifying the flame of knowledge.
