Our foremost accomplishment has been our relentless commitment to providing high-quality healthcare services to the community. We expanded our range of medical specialties and services within the first year, with a continued emphasis on excellence in patient care.

Establishment of a medical college. One of the most significant milestones of 2023 was the successful setting up of Amrita School of Medicine.

The medical college has been equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, experienced faculty, and a rigorous curriculum to ensure that students receive the best education in the field of medicine.

NABH accreditation. The accreditation from the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers (NABH) is a testament to our unwavering commitment to quality patient care and safety. The process of achieving this accreditation has fostered a culture of continuous improvement, and has motivated us to maintain the highest standards in all aspects of patient care, from clinical procedures to administrative processes.

Initiation of research projects. Research is the backbone of medical progress, and in 2023, we initiated several research projects covering various medical fields. These projects are not only aimed at advancing medical science but are also designed to address regional health challenges. These research initiatives also align with our commitment to evidence-based healthcare. We believe that integrating research into our daily medical practice will lead to better patient outcomes and a deeper understanding of prevalent health issues in our community.

Community outreach. We deepened our engagement with the local community through health camps, awareness programs, and charitable initiatives. The Amrita Hospital team participated in several health drives, offering medical services to underserved areas and promoting public health awareness.

While 2023 was a year of accomplishments, we also acknowledge the unfinished tasks and challenges that lie ahead.

Patient experience. We recognize that there is always room for improvement. In 2024, we will continue our efforts to improve the patient experience, focusing on reducing waiting times, enhancing communication, and ensuring the highest standards of care and empathy.

Accessibility and affordability. Ensuring that healthcare services are accessible and affordable for all is a continuous concern. We are committed to expanding our efforts to reach underserved communities and exploring ways to make healthcare more affordable without compromising quality.

Looking ahead to 2024, we have several aspirations and goals for our institution:

Increased research collaboration. Collaboration with other medical institutions and organizations will be a priority. By working together on research projects and knowledge sharing, we can accelerate medical breakthroughs and address healthcare challenges more effectively.
