In the first phase it will have 550 beds which will be upgraded to 750 and gradually to 2600 beds by 2027-29.

The focus of the hospital will be on ‘pain management’ and “make death comfortable when it is inevitable”.
The hospital will not practice defensive medicine and give unwarranted, irrational antibiotics to its patients. Defensive medicines cost around Rs.80,000 more to patients and Amrita Hospital will be even lower than the lowest pricing. This hospital will have a trained carer who will break the bad news, doctors will have multi tasks like community visits, there will be counselling of patient parties etc. Truly this hospital will redefine the healthcare sector in the country in the days to come.
The campus will have a helipad for providing air ambulances for critical care patients, a four star hotel, and a 498 key guest house for attendants accompanying the patients. Patients entering the complex will be greeted with a polite “ Namah Shivay’.

These include awareness programs for the elderly with a focus on those suffering from neurological ailments, health talks for school children, general health check-ups, and many more.
This humongous super-speciality healthcare facility, constructed with Amma’s blessings and love, is dedicated to the people of India for healing the sick, helping the needy, and advancing the cause of medical science. This is the second large-scale Amrita Hospital in India after the iconic 1,300-bed Amrita Hospital, Kochi was established 25 years ago by MAM.
