It serves more than 300,000 outpatients and 30,000 inpatients annually, drawing patients from Dakshina Kannada, Udupi, Chikmagalur, Uttara Kannada, Shimoga, parts of North Karnataka, and neighbouring districts of Kerala.

Core technology assets include the Da Vinci Surgical Robot, the first Indian medical college deployment of Velys Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement (Johnson & Johnson MedTech), a 3T MRI Suite inaugurated in October 2025, a 128-slice CT, PET/CT and nuclear medicine theranostics, a NABL-accredited laboratory processing 2,500+ tests per day, the KSHEMA IVF centre (first within a Mangalore teaching hospital), a Prof M Shantaram Shetty Tissue Bank distributing ~2,000 bone tissue packets annually, and the Leela Narayan Shetty Centre for Neurosciences. The hospital is licensed for liver, kidney, amnion, bone marrow, skin and bone tissue transplants and is empanelled under Ayushman Bharat, Arogya Bhagya Yojane, ESI, and multiple private insurers (Bajaj Allianz, Religare, Medi-Assist, United Health Care).

The revenue model is a hybrid of fee-for-service patient care, insurance and government scheme reimbursements, prepaid health check-up packages (Rs 2,450 to Rs 8,500), and medical education revenue through its affiliation with NITTE (Deemed to be University). The hospital holds NABL accreditation (2020), Safe-I certification (2015), NABH accreditation, and CAHO 2025 Excellence certifications in Endoscopy Safety and Infection Control. It sources KSHEMA IVF as a wholly-owned subsidiary along with the Tissue Bank and the NITTE Day Care Centre. As a non-profit charitable trust, the operation is not externally funded; growth is funded through operating cash flow and reinvestment, with a 2,000-2,500 employee base and more than 30 clinical departments.
