Clinical capabilities span neurosurgery, oncology, neonatology, hematology, cardiac care, and molecular diagnostics, supported by advanced surgical technology including high-precision neurological microscopes, Cavitron Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator (CUSA), and genomic testing infrastructure.

Beyond healthcare delivery, IMS & SUM Hospital is structurally integrated with SOA's 12+ constituent academic institutes spanning medicine, dentistry, engineering (ITER), management (IBCS), law (SNIL), agricultural sciences (IAS), veterinary sciences (IVSAH), pharmaceutical sciences (SPS), nursing, and hotel management. The university holds NAAC 'A++' accreditation (3rd Cycle), UGC Category-I Graded Autonomy Status, and ranks 15th in India under the NIRF 2025 Medical Category, with IDS ranked 9th in Dental, SNIL 10th in Law, and ITER 22nd in Engineering.

Revenue mechanics are diversified across three streams: (1) clinical healthcare services generated through inpatient and outpatient care across multi-specialty facilities, (2) tuition and fees from undergraduate through doctoral programmes in medical, dental, engineering, management, law, and other disciplines, with medical and dental admissions routed through national-level DGHS/MCC centralised counselling, and (3) research and development income via grants, fellowships, and sponsored collaborations through institutional MOUs (with Tech Mahindra, ICAR, CCRAS-CARI, KBC, Serendipity Space, Sigmamozak Solutions, Central University of Odisha, and Cybersecurity Association of India among others). The institution operates an Atal Incubation Centre (AIC-SOA Foundation) under NITI Aayog and the Centre for Biotechnology plus PPRACHIN cultural heritage digitization initiative, and conducts community healthcare outreach through NSS programmes and health camps in surrounding villages.
