Over a Century's Tradition
Samajam Hospital at Shoranur is the first Ayurveda Hospital. Since opening in 1902, Samajam has offered out-patients as well as in-patients treatment in Ayurveda. The Hospital and Nursing Home at Shoranur is the oldest and largest Samajam's largest center and headquarters.
Set on a picturesque location, on the banks of River Nila, today known as Bharatha Puzha, the Shoraur Centre is not just a hospital or nursing home, it is a comprehensive health sanatorium as described in the Charaka Samhitha. Due to its serene atmosphere and also to Samajam’s subtlety in behavior, the Shoranur Centre attracts quite a lot of people from different parts of India and abroad.
Independent traditional cottages and modern rooms are available here to accommodate patients. Generally, admission is confirmed well in advance and patients stay for a period ranging from 7 days to 21 days, depending on the nature of the illnesses and treatments. In-house, catering helps to diet patients.
Since Samajam is a charitable institution, most of the cottages and buildings came to life out of the Philanthropic gesture of some prominent patients. People helped Samajam whole-heartedly, so it could remain a charitable institution to the core even today.
Admission capacity in Shoranur is over 100 and it varies from center to center from 15 to 60 patients at a time. Besides, quite a number of people opt for out-patient status who could come and undertake treatments and go, as and when they wish, in every center.
As is the tradition in Ayurveda, there’s no rich or poor in Samajam. Samajam sees to it that the poor patients are well attended to in the out-patient and the in-patient departments, free of cost. Every center of Samajam extends this charitable service.
