The Congregation of the Ursulines of Mary Immaculate was founded by Blessed Brigida Morello in Piacenza, Italy in the year 1649. Mother Brigida gifted with a special love for the sick and suffering gave herself totally to the service of the poor, sick and marginalized. Thus becoming a "Mother" to them

 

The dream of the Founders to spread God’s kingdom to-far off lands, became a reality in 1934 when Five Pioneer Ursulines landed on Indian soil.

Almost two decades later in 1953 responding to the invitation of the Bishop of Allahabad Rt. Rev. Leonard Raymond to share the Apostolic activities of the diocese a group of sisters came to Kanpur and opened a Clinic at St. Patrick’s convent in Cantonment area, which became the fore-runner of Mariampur Hospital.

The hospital came to existence due to the far vision and enduring courage of its founders Rev. Fr. Alva and Mother Margret Benocci in the year 1961 with the moto of love & service in the name of Jesus the Divine Healer.

Sr. Dr. Giovanna Alberoni the first medical superintendent and Administrator with her charismatic personality and administrative efficiency steered the Young Institution to rapid progress. She also received unstinted support and professional guidance from many senior professional colleagues who were professors and teachers at the G.S.V.M Medical College, Kanpur like Dr. K. K.  Bhatnagar, Dr.Onkar Krishna, Dr. A. K. Gupta, Dr.Tarachand, Dr. R.S Grewal, Dr. S. N Sinha. They and many others also patronized this hospital. Gradually over the years the hospital grew and expanded as it stands today.
