Descriptiontext

Rajagiri Hospital is a multi-specialty quaternary care hospital established in 2014 in Chunangamvely, Aluva, Kerala, India, on a 40-acre green campus located six kilometres from the city and adjacent to Cochin International Airport. The hospital is owned and operated by the Rajagiri Healthcare and Education Trust under the CMI (Carmelites of Mary Immaculate) Sacred Heart Province, extending a healthcare ministry that the CMI congregation began in 1869. It holds the three principal healthcare accreditations relevant in India — Joint Commission International (gold seal), National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers, and National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories — positioning it among the most credentialed private hospitals in South India. Facilities include over 40 medical and surgical specialties spanning gastroenterology, neurosurgery, cardiology, oncology (medical, surgical, and radiation), hematology and stem cell transplantation, orthopedics and spine, transplant services, and a dedicated Advanced Center for Movement Disorders offering Deep Brain Stimulation.

The hospital's technology platform integrates Da Vinci Xi robotic-assisted surgery, a GE Healthcare PET CT with Q.Clear technology, a 3 Tesla MRI, a 128-slice CT scanner, a biplane cath lab, SPECT CT, mammography, and the Roche Diagnostics Total Lab Automation system. Surrounding the core inpatient facility, Rajagiri operates a layered service portfolio: telemedicine for remote consultations; Rajagiri @ Home for doctor visits, nursing, physiotherapy, phlebotomy, diagnostics, and medication delivery; Rajagiri Ayurveda integrating traditional Indian medicine with modern care; the Advanced Wellness and Rehabilitation program including Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy; preventive health check packages; a Free Medical Second Opinion Clinic; and a premium Globus Wing for luxury inpatient stays.

Revenue is generated through six primary streams — inpatient hospital services, international patient services, diagnostic services, home healthcare, Ayurveda services, and health check packages — with pricing quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Customers are predominantly individual patients rather than institutional buyers; segments include domestic patients across Kerala and India (primary), international medical tourists (particularly from the Middle East, New Zealand, and Africa), movement-disorder patients seeking DBS, diagnostic patients, and preventive healthcare seekers. Charity programs such as Kaathodu Kaathoram (with Care and Share International Foundation) and access to publicly listed stent and TKR implant prices supplement the commercial model with a social-mission layer consistent with the CMI stewardship.
