Recognizing the long felt need for a full fledged speciality eye hospital in the Northern districts of Kerala State. Comtrust Charitable Trust decided in the year 1988 to set up one such hospital in Calicut city, which was the capital city of erstwhile Malabar.

The hospital which began in a very small way in the year 1999, has during the last nine years established its presence as the most popular and fully equipped Eye Hospital in the whole of Malabar. Today, over 500 patients are registered on an average daily and more than 8000 surgeries are done every year at this hospital.

During the last 3 years, efforts were made to set up smaller hospital units in other smaller towns in North Kerala. Three such units are already established at Thalassery, Kanhangad and Ottapalam. Besides, hospital’s small Sub Centres are functioning at -3- remote locations viz., Muttil (Wynad), Wandoor (Malappuram) and Narikunni (Kozhikode District).
