Amrita Hospital, Faridabad: Bringing high-quality medical care to help people embrace good health

When it comes to healing, doctors balance a delicate formula of the logic of medical science with the expression of a heart-to-heart connection with their patients. If a patient receives compassion and correct treatment, the road to recovery is faster and healthier. However with heavy workloads, sometimes health institutions operate mechanically rather than humanely.
People need caring and affordable healthcare to reach true well-being founded upon hope for their futures. With this vision, Amrita Hospitals is built on the loving philosophy of Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, fondly known as Amma. She believes advanced and high-quality healthcare should be accessible to all, especially the poor and disadvantaged.
The foundation for Amrita Hospitals was established in 1998 as the Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences. Amrita Hospital, Kochi is today recognized the world over as a Centre of Excellence in Quality Healthcare, Education and Research has a 1350-bed quaternary referral and teaching hospital. Over the last 25 years, Amrita have been able to provide Quality Affordable Healthcare to over 1.21 crore outpatients and 8.87 lakh inpatients. In addition, over 700 crores has been spent exclusively towards healthcare charity. Surgeons perform more than 23,000 procedures per year.

Believing in humanity above everything else
Amrita Hospital, Faridabad begins a new chapter in the history of the Mata Amritanandamayi Math’s humanitarian activities. Amma's life is dedicated to helping people in need. She has always strived hard to get their five basic needs met—food, shelter, healthcare, education, and livelihood.
Amma's vision then expands to how empowering those at the bottom of the socio-economic pyramid brings positive impact to the rest of society. In the case of Amrita Hospitals, this means bringing reliable, high-quality, and affordable healthcare to people of all walks of life. With that goal, Amrita Hospital, Faridabad will carry forward the selfless legacy of Amrita Hospitals that began in 1998.
