Why Coimbatore for Treatment
Coimbatore is Tamil Nadu’s second-largest medical hub after Chennai and is known as the ‘Manchester of South India.’ The city has a strong private hospital network with several NABH-accredited institutions empanelled under PM-JAY. Coimbatore is a major centre for cardiac surgery — GKNM Hospital and KG Hospital are renowned for affordable heart care. The city also excels in orthopaedics, ophthalmology, and IVF (though IVF is not covered under PM-JAY). Patients from Kerala, Karnataka, and southern TN travel to Coimbatore for specialist care.

Government vs Private in Coimbatore
Coimbatore has both government and private hospitals in its PM-JAY network. Government hospitals offer higher volumes and broader coverage, while private hospitals often provide shorter waiting times for elective procedures like joint replacement surgery and cataract operations. Under PM-JAY, treatment is completely cashless at both — the hospital cannot charge you anything.
