B. Sc.Nursing

The Society of the Sisters of Charity of Secunderabad Province is a Registered Society under the Public Registration Act, in the year 1963. It serves the States of A.P and Telangana through a number of Schools, Colleges, Hospitals and Health Centers. The service in the Health Sector began with the arrival of three Italian sisters to King George Memorial Hospital (present Gandhi Hospital), Secunderabad in 1915.

Vijay Marie Hospital had a humble beginning in the midst of Chintal Basthi Slums in the year 1948. To day, it has grown into a 250 bedded General Hospital, catering to all the sections of society, especially the poor.
