St John’s Medical College Hospital, Bengaluru, Karnataka

The St. John’s Medical College Hospital was conceived as the cradle of clinical learning for all our graduates and postgraduates affiliated to our institutes across the health fields of medicine, nursing, paraclinical and allied health. This professional education can only occur by providing learning experiences that are academically sound, holistic, comprehensive and professionally delivered by our physicians who are also faculty.

The hospital began functioning on the 8th December, 1975, and has steadily grown from a few hundred beds and units to over 40 full-fledged departments providing care and treatment services, both specialty and super specialty. By 2018 we would have added 600 beds to continue to be one of the largest health care facilities under one roof in Bengaluru with 2000 bed strength.

Academics
A teaching hospital has great advantages for our patients as our physician-teachers are constantly under scrutiny and observation by students who recognise the need for the practice of good medicine. Evidence- and protocol-based practices are the direction we are expected to take in our practice of the art and science of medicine, which in turn forces us to be role models for our students to learn. It is through demonstrating good medicine day in and day out that our students learn. In our hospital academics occur, but never at the expense of patient care which is the centre of our service.

Research
Medicine is a science that requires physicians to strive to improve care and treatment practices by constantly questioning and searching for the right answers for our patients. Evidence needs to be generated that gives us clarity to what is best for each of our patients to enable healing and progressing. In our hospital, research is conducted, but never at the expense of our patients’ rights that always has, is and will remain sacrosanct.
