Late Rev. Fr  Augustus Muller laid the foundation for Father Muller Charitable Institution in the heart of the city, Kankanady Mangalore in 1880. Today, it has broadened its horizons and is providing world class healthcare services to the people in and around coastal Karnataka.

Father Muller Hospital Thumbay is a part of FMCI which is situated in Thumbay Bantwal taluk. It was taken over from B.A Group Thumbay on 01-05-2013 and was inaugurated on 02-06-2013. Father Muller Hospital Thumbay is happy to announce that it is completing 10 years of its existence. The hospital being NABH Pre entry level accredited has added an extra star to the quality of patient care. Over the past years, we have increased our bed strength from 50 bed to 100 bed health care facility magnifying our services from multi specialty to super specialty.
