Caring with Compassion
BELTHANGADY, KARNATAKA — EST. 2004
Where Every Wound is Met with Compassion
Jyothi Hospital — A light in the lives of those who need healing the most.
Twenty-four years ago, the sick poor of Belthangady had little hope — they lived in the shadows of illness with no access to proper care. That changed in 2004. Moved by the suffering he witnessed, His Excellency Rev. Lawrence Mukkuzhy called upon the Sisters of the Destitute to bring healing to this forgotten corner of Karnataka. They answered — not with hesitation, but with heart.
“To see God in the sufferings” — these words are not just a motto. They are a promise lived out in every ward, every consultation, every hand held in the hardest of moments.
Jyothi — meaning light — is exactly that. For the rural poor, the marginalised, and the vulnerable, this hospital has been a beacon for 24 years. Not just treating illness, but restoring dignity. Not just healing bodies, but renewing hope.

Owned and run by the Sisters of the Destitute Charitable Trust, Belthangady, Jyothi Hospital is not just a medical institution — it is a ministry. Every act of care here carries the spirit and charism of the congregation’s founder: that the poorest deserve the best.
“We did not come to Belthangady to build a hospital.
We came to be present — with love — in the midst of suffering.
The hospital was simply how that love took form.”
