It provides high quality healthcare to the people of the Nilgiris.

The hospital also reaches out to the surrounding community through outreach medical programmes and palliative care services. KMF hospital works to serve the community around Nilgiris district where there are no reliable hospital facilities for emergency, except Coimbatore two hours away. The Hospital also served the needs of the COVID-19 pandemic by isolating half their hospital beds for isolation and care.

  • Serving the medical needs of an underserved and remote community in the Nilgiri mountains
  • Providing advanced and quality medical care with trained staff and highly trained medical practitioners who are present on location
  • Working with the community to provide training and palliative care for medical emergencies.”
