Vaidyaratnam Foundation Hospital
‘Vaidyaratnam’ was the title bestowed upon Ashtavaidyan Sri E.T. Narayanan Mooss by the British Government in 1924, for his valuable contribution in the field of Ayurveda. Vaidyaratnam Foundation Hospital was envisaged by our founder Ashtavaidyan E.T. Neelakandhan Mooss (Padmashree recipient in 1992) to make authentic traditional Ayurveda treatment accessible even to the common man, irrespective of cast, gender, age or socio-economic status. Initially called ‘Vaidyaratnam Ayurvedic Research Centre and Charitable Hospital’, the ‘Vaidyaratnam Foundation Hospital’ is a hallowed name in the field of medical consultation, training and research.
