The Gift of God’s Gifts to the Earth

Welcoming every new life with a sapling

At Motherhood Hospital Calicut, formerly Matria, every baby born is celebrated as one of life’s greatest gifts. To honour each new arrival, the hospital gifts a sapling to the family, symbolising new life, growth and a gift back to the earth.

This nature friendly tradition has seen thousands of saplings planted over the years, one for every baby delivered, reflecting a belief that caring for children and caring for the environment go hand in hand. It remains one of the most cherished traditions carried forward at Motherhood Hospital Calicut.
