Every great institution begins with a story—of love, vision, and hope. Smita Memorial Hospital and Research Centre was born from such a story, one that continues to touch every life that walks through our doors.
Under the compassionate leadership of Dr. Suresh Advani, Padma Bhushan awardee, and Mrs. Geeta Advani, our hospital stands as a tribute to their beloved daughter, Dr. Smita Advani—a young doctor whose dream was to serve humanity with empathy and joy. While pursuing her MD, Dr. Smita’s life was tragically cut short, but her beautiful philosophy, “Service with Smile,” became the spirit that breathes life into this institution.
Smita Memorial Hospital and Research Centre is more than a 300‑bedded multispecialty hospital in Thodupuzha, Idukki—it is a living embodiment of Dr. Smita’s vision that healthcare must combine science with compassion. Every wall, every corridor echoes her belief that a smile can heal as deeply as medicine.
Guided by this enduring legacy, we follow the principle that every patient, regardless of financial background, deserves dignity, privacy, and the highest standard of medical care. Our hospital is designed without general wards—only comfortable, private rooms—symbolizing equality in healing and respect for every individual.
Blending heartfelt service with world‑class infrastructure, our facilities include six advanced Operation Theatres, 54 Intensive Care Beds, a cutting‑edge Interventional Cath Lab, Labour Suites, and a 24×7 Emergency Unit. We also offer specialized care through Endoscopy and ERCP suites, Pulmonary Function Testing (PFT) Labs, Day Care Centres, a Radiology Wing, and a comprehensive Dialysis Unit. To ensure seamless care, pneumatic process systems connect our laboratories and pharmacy, ensuring safety and speed in service delivery.
At Smita Memorial Hospital, healing begins with a smile—the same smile that inspired this journey. Through every act of care, we strive to honor Dr. Smita’s legacy, carrying forward her dream of making compassion the foundation of healthcare.
