Located within the campus of Amala Institute of Medical Sciences, the setting allows patients to experience the beauty of its natural surroundings while remaining connected to a comprehensive medical ecosystem.
Founded by the visionary Carmelite priest Padma Bhushan Fr. Gabriel Chiramel, the institution is guided by a philosophy of holistic healing that addresses physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being. Inspired by a vision of compassionate service, Amala has grown into a dependable and preferred destination for patients from India and abroad. A distinctive strength of the campus lies in the presence of three complementary systems of medicine—Modern Medicine, Ayurveda, and Homeopathy—functioning side by side, enabling an integrated approach when required.
The hospital is NABH accredited, ISO certified, GMP certified, and recognised with the Ayur Diamond Certification by the Department of Tourism, Government of Kerala. It is also noted as the first NABH-accredited Ayurveda hospital in India in the 80-plus bed category. Facilities include a range of accommodation options such as Super Deluxe Rooms, Deluxe Rooms, Standard Rooms, wards for male and female patients, and Ayurveda Bhavan cottages with attached treatment areas. Support facilities such as a pharmacy, laundry services, parking, CCTV surveillance, library, recreation spaces, chapel, roof garden, and 24/7 Wi-Fi contribute to a comfortable and well-supported stay.
Ayurvedic care at Amala is deeply rooted in classical traditions, supported by a dedicated team of experienced Ayurveda doctors, therapists, nurses, and service staff. The hospital is recognised for maintaining age-old Ayurvedic practices without compromising on quality. Special care areas include pain management, detoxification, stress management, stroke rehabilitation, post-natal care, cancer care, geriatric care, skin care, lifestyle disorders, respiratory conditions, and ENT and eye care. Emergency support, referrals, investigations, physiotherapy, and dietetics are seamlessly integrated through the proximity of the medical college hospital on the same campus.
A GMP-compliant medicine preparation unit, established in 1978, ensures the availability of high-quality Ayurvedic medicines prepared in-house. The unit produces a wide range of formulations including kashayams, arista, asava, choorna, lehyam, and gulika, following strict quality and safety standards. These preparations are supported by an extensive herbal garden with over 300 species of medicinal plants, cultivated within the premises and used for medicine preparation, Panchakarma, and allied procedures.
Yoga, meditation, and pranayama form an integral part of the healing process at Amala. Conducted in a dedicated yoga facility, these practices are seamlessly integrated with Panchakarma and allied treatments. Group sessions are open to all patients, while personalised sessions are offered on medical advice, allowing practices to align closely with individual health conditions.
