The Lombard Memorial (Mission) Hospital was established in 1923 by Dr Eva Lombard a Swiss missionary doctor. It is a charitable hospital which has provided yeoman service to the people of Udupi and its surrounding areas. It is a beacon of hope for many poor people especially women and children for whom this is the only hospital providing affordable healthcare. It was the first hospital providing health care and maternity care when women were ostracised in the early 1900’s. From a six bedded unit it grew to nearly 200 beds in its heydays.

We have all the facilities that is required in a hospital. However, we are now on our journey towards excellence. We are modernising all the facilities and upgrading all our equipment so we can provide better services to the people. Although the hospital is well known for its maternity and pediatric services it now has all other specialties under one roof. We also have a range of rooms from super deluxe rooms to general wards catering to the needs of all patients. All the rooms have now been modernised and renovated. Our casualty is also providing round the clock services and we have 24/7 laboratory, x-ray and pharmacy.
