Satellite Hospitals
Amrita Hospital runs five satellite charitable hospitals: three in Kerala(Amritapuri, Kalpetta, Njarakkal), one in Mysore, and one in the Andaman Islands. The hospitals serve populations that would otherwise not have easy access to quality healthcare. All treatment is given free of charge. Out of deep concern for the indigenous population, the doctors also make rounds to remote tribal hamlets.

Latest Healthcare News
In May 2016, we broke ground on our new hospital.
With 2,000 beds, it is slated to be one of the biggest hospital in India
The new Amrita Hospital will be have a minimal carbon footprint, zero wastewater discharge, and will eventually be solar-powered. The materials used in construction will be environmental friendly, and the campus’ natural environment will be preserved with 70 percent of the land planned as green areas filled with native plants and trees as well as bodies of water. The new hospital and medical college will have an emphasis on maternal, infant and child healthcare and will include a highly specialized multidisciplinary Children’s Hospital with maternal and fetal medicine and all pediatric subspecialities. This is a feature that most hospitals in India lack as many private hospitals do not see maternal care as monetarily sustainable. The research hospital will focus on low cost healthcare solutions for India’s poor and will be a teaching hospital.
