What Sree Gokulam Medical College & Research Foundation does

Sree Gokulam Medical College & Research Foundation is a privately-held medical education and healthcare institution established in 2004 by Chairman Sree Gokulam Gopalan and operated as part of the Gokulam Group in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India. The institution runs an undergraduate MBBS program (150 seats), postgraduate and postdoctoral medical programs (50+ students), undergraduate and postgraduate nursing courses (100+ students), and para-clinical courses (50+ students), affiliated with Kerala University of Health Sciences and aligned with the National Medical Commission. The underlying platform is a 40-acre campus integrating teaching facilities with a 900+ bed super-specialty hospital organized into 35+ clinical departments covering general specialties, super-specialties (Cardiology, Neurology, Oncology, Nephrology, etc.), laboratory specialties, and service departments, supported by 350+ faculty and an NABL-accredited Department of Laboratory Medicine.

The institution generates revenue from two streams: healthcare services delivered through the hospital wing (outpatient consultations, inpatient care, emergency services, surgical procedures, and diagnostics offered at affordable cost to all sections of society) and tuition/academic fees from medical, nursing, and para-clinical programs. The hospital operates on a direct-to-consumer model with walk-in patients, an emergency toll-free line (18008918992), and ambulance services, while admissions are processed through centralized CEE counseling. The institution markets itself through its website (sgmc.in), community outreach (medical camps, NSS activities, family adoption programs), CME conferences (G-QCON, PEDICON, GANCON), and earned media through faculty appearances on regional television.

The institution holds NAAC A-grade accreditation and NABL laboratory accreditation, holds affiliations with Kerala University of Health Sciences and the (former) Medical Council of India, and its Chairman has received a Presidential Award from the President of India. The parent organization, Gokula Education Foundation (Medical), is separately expanding into STEM and management education through the Ramaiah Institute of Science and Management (RISM) in Bengaluru, launched in partnership with the University at Albany with first session commencing August 2026.
