History

Coimbatore in the 1920s was a small town with meagre medical facilities There was just one hospital the District Head Quarters Hospital to cater to the growing population of the town The facilities available in this Hospital however were grossly inadequate

It was about this time that the Late Sri G Kuppuswamy Naidus stepsister Rajammal was expecting her first baby After a complicated labour a baby girl was born But Rajammal died suddenly and the child passed away a week later

Kuppuswamy Naidu was greatly shaken by these two tragedies He dreamed of a Hospital to care for the mother and child Kuppuswamy Naidu did not live to see his dream come true but before he died he ensured that money was set apart for this noble cause

On 29th of October 1948 the G Kuppuswamy Naidu Charity Trust for Educational and Medical Relief was registered In 1950 quotBhoomi Poojaquot was performed by Bheema Naidu for the construction of the Hospital By May 1952 a fiftybedded Hospital had come into existence

The Hospital was inaugurated by his Highness the Maharaja of Mysore in the presence of Dr Sir A Lakshmanaswamy Mudaliar the doyen of Obstetrics and Gynaecology The Hospital was christened as G Kuppuswamy Naidu Memorial Hospital for Women and Children

The wish of the founding father was thus fulfilled
