Why Thiruvananthapuram for Treatment
Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum) is Kerala’s capital and southern Kerala’s primary medical hub. The Government Medical College Hospital is one of India’s finest government institutions with strong departments across all super-specialties. SCTIMST (Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute) is a nationally acclaimed centre for cardiac and neurological care. The city’s hospitals serve patients from southern Kerala and also from nearby Tamil Nadu districts like Kanyakumari and Tirunelveli. Kerala’s high health literacy means patients are well-informed and demand quality care.

Government vs Private in Thiruvananthapuram
Thiruvananthapuram 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.
