Charitable Hospital

The ethics-based growth model of the institution ensures that 43% of the profit is pooled back into the society in the form of charitable and philanthropic activities and the rest is utilised for the growth of the institution.

The Arya Vaidya Chikitsa Sala was established in 1924 at Kottakkal and this was rechristened as Arya Vaidya Sala Charitable Hospital, the main arm of Arya Vaidya Sala’s charitable activities. This was the only hospital providing free medical services in this area in those days.

The establishment of Charitable Hospital is very significant not only in the history of Arya Vaidya Sala but in the history of the evolution of Ayurvedic system of health care also. P.S. Varier established this facility for imparting practical instruction to the students of his Ayurveda College. He set up an Allopathic wing also, to function separately from Ayurvedic wing, for giving lessons in anatomy, physiology and surgery. These wings are continuing to function parallelly even now, but on a much larger scale.

The hospital provides care under Ayurvedic and Allopathic streams as per the choice of the patient. The OP consultation, basic investigations ( Lab X-Ray & ECG), Medicines, IP treatment as per the need and evaluation by consulting doctor ( Allopthy & Ayurveda ) and food for the admitted patients are all provided free of cost.

A separate Special OP for cancer cases is in operation for more than 30 years. Cancer patients from across the country visit the place. The OP consultation is available on all days except Sundays and institutional holidays. Online consultation is also available for the Special OP services. The entire activity is offered free of cost.

The hospital also operates satellite medical centres in the mode of continued and routine medical camps at designated remote villages, especially in the tribal settlements.
