Pushpagiri Medical College Hospital

What Pushpagiri Medical College Hospital does

Pushpagiri Medical College Hospital is a 678-bed private, multi- and super-specialty tertiary care hospital located in Thiruvalla, Kerala, India, founded in 1959 by Zacharias Mar Athanasios and operating under the governance of the Pushpagiri Medical Society. It runs 58 clinical departments staffed by 600+ doctors — described as the largest medical fraternity in Central Travancore — and provides services spanning cardiology, neurology, oncology, nephrology with a transplant centre (65+ kidney transplants), paediatrics, gynaecology, endocrinology, emergency medicine, and a 10-year-old Cancer Centre, alongside specialized focus centres including a Heart Institute, Dialysis Project, Stroke & Rehabilitation Clinic, Geriatric Clinic, Retina Clinic, Rheumatic Clinic, and the Pratheeksha Child Development Center. The institution is also an academic complex: it anchors a Pushpagiri Group comprising a Medical College, College of Nursing (est. 2002), College of Pharmacy, College of Dental Sciences, College of Allied Health Sciences, and the Pushpagiri Research Centre (PRC, established 2010), a SIRO-recognized facility hosting tissue engineering, virology, bioinformatics, cancer, and clinical trial labs and approved for Ph.D. programmes under KUHS, Chinmaya Vishwa Vidyapeeth, and Helsinki University.

The hospital generates revenue primarily through inpatient and outpatient care, surgical procedures, diagnostics, dialysis, and transplant services, supplemented by tuition and fees from the six affiliated educational institutions, preventive health packages (including a Guru Health Package and an NRI Health Check-up Package), and tiered patient benefit programmes such as the Family Green Card Scheme and Emerald Emeritus Benefits. Distribution is omnichannel for healthcare: walk-in outpatient departments, 24/7 emergency and ambulance services, an online booking portal (onlinebooking.pushpagiri.in), an Android mobile app (iOS in development) for appointment booking, payments, lab/radiology reports, and feedback, plus channels for insurance/TPA cashless treatment, government schemes (Medisep, BPL), corporate tie-ups, and a satellite village hospital in Pulinkunnu, Alappuzha. The hospital maintains a stack of quality accreditations — NABH (general, Emergency Department, and Digital Health), NABL, MBFH, Kayakalpa, and CSSD under CAHO's ACE programme with 3M — and pursues subsidized access through the ₹600 Daily Treatment Scheme for BPL cardholders in partnership with the Face of Thiruvalla Foundation. Strategic research collaborations include ICAR-CIFT (biomaterials patents), ICMR-funded projects, JBI Centre of Excellence for evidence-based practice, and the international CAPTURE cancer awareness initiative with the University of Luxembourg.
