                                   Sree Uthradom Thirunal Hospital was established in 1987, at a time when tertiary care facilities were extremely inadequate in this part of the country. the main aim of the hospital was to establish such advanced medical and surgical facilities one by one. The hospital was started with full facilities for interventional cardiology and Open Heart Surgery. After Sree Chitra Medical Centre, this was the second hospital in the state to start such advanced cardiac care. The first coronary artery bypass surgery on beating heart in the state was done here. The first Mitral Balloon Valvuloplasty in the state was done here in 1988, just 3 years after its introduction. The hospital, for the last seven years, retain a very low mortality rate of 0.5% for elective bypass surgery and with such excellent results in all interventional procedures.

                       The hospital emerged as a centre of excellence in a short time, while continuing to grow steadily by establishing other specialties, giving special emphasis to facilities not readily available in this part of the world. One of the largest and busiest Artificial Kidney Unit, first Ophthalmology Department in the state to start IOL, Phaco, etc as day cases, Orthopaedic Department providing world class results in advanced procedures such as Limb Salvage and Knee Replacement, Neuro Surgery Department with excellent track record in Neuro trauma, first Advanced Neonatology Department in the capital, second Advanced Interventional Radiology Unit in the state, etc. are only a few of the achievements of the Group. Excellent personnel consisting of experienced Physicians, Surgeons with world class expertise, skilled nurses and technicians are the main strengths of the Group.

                     The Group started its second hospital, SUT Mother & Baby Hospital, at Pattom in 2001. The hospital is devoted to high standards of care in Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Neonatology.

                      Apart from the establishment of advanced treatment facilities, compassion for poor patients, commitment to the community to improve the standards of health and medical care are the preoccupations of the Group, from the beginning.
