At St. Mary’s hospital, Lacor Hospital, our mission has always been clear: to provide affordable quality health care to the people who need it most, especially those who would otherwise go without. Every day, we open our doors to thousands of patients, not because it’s easy, but because it’s necessary.
Unlike other places, where access to care often comes with a high price tag and shorter queues, Lacor hospital deliberately keeps prices low. We run community outreaches. We organize surgical camps. We go to where the people are, not just where it’s convenient for us. Why? Because we believe that health care is a right, not a privilege.
Serving the Most Vulnerable

Most of the patients who come to us cannot afford private care. Some travel for miles, carrying hope that they or their loved ones will be seen and treated. We know that hope is sacred, and we do everything we can to meet it with compassion and professionalism.
But the truth is, our commitment to affordability and access comes with real challenges.
We apologise for the Long Lines.
Patients waiting to be served
One of the most visible challenges is the long lines and waiting hours. We understand it can be frustrating. No one wants to wait for hours when they are unwell or caring for a sick child. But these lines are not a result of inefficiency or neglect; they are a sign of just how many people rely on us.
We simply serve more patients than most facilities in the region. In fact, many of them will see only a fraction of the people we treat in a day, and they charge several times more for the same care.
Compassion Goes Both Ways

Our doctors, nurses, and support staff are stretched. They work long hours, often going beyond their shifts, driven not by salary but by a deep sense of purpose. They make tough decisions, juggle emergencies, and carry the emotional weight of their work every single day.
So we ask for your patience, and also your compassion not just for fellow patients, but for the medical personnel doing their best in very difficult circumstances.
Together, We Can Do More
When you choose to come to St. Mary’s hospital, Lacor you are choosing a place that is deeply rooted in the community. A place that sees every life as valuable, regardless of how much money is in their pocket. And while we may not offer the fastest service or the most luxurious facilities, we do offer care that comes from the heart, and a promise to never turn away someone in need.
Let us continue to support one another with understanding, kindness, and the shared belief that everyone deserves a chance to heal.
