Little Lourdes Mission Hospital was established in 1956 by late Mgr. Cyriac. J. Mattathil, who was inspired by the holistic healthcare at the world famous Grotto of Lourdes in France, by the intercession of blessed Mother Mary. He identified the need for a hospital at his native place, Kidangoor and started it with 12 beds with limited facilities. Just before his death he entrusted this institution to the visitation congregation, in the Archdiocese of Kottayam.
