"The pandemic served as a reality check. The challenges it presented threw us into deep introspection as a team. We realized that to pull the world together we needed to push ourselves harder, we had to adopt a more aggressive attitude and a newer spirit. We needed to ensure that people start putting their faith back in the system and continue to draw hope from healthcare. Underpinning this philosophy is the new brand promise of Health, Hope, Happiness. Bringing hope & happiness to the people by delivering excellent healthcare services to everyone, is the essence of Meitra," said Mr. Faizal E Kottikollon, Chairman, Meitra Hospital & Founder Chairman, KEF Holdings who had established the hospital in 2017 with a vision to transforming the healthcare delivery in the region by bringing internationally acclaimed care delivery models.

"We recognize that most people want to get their healthcare as close to home as possible. The Meitra Care Network aims to keep care more approachable by providing guidance for many cases that might otherwise require a referral to a specialist in different cities. This will spare patients the expense and inconvenience of additional appointments and unnecessary travel. If specialty care is needed, patients can be seen by their local provider in conjunction with the Meitra Hospital's team of specialists physically and digitally. At the core of this network is clinical collaboration. Our specialists will work together with local physicians, consulting and sharing resources to complement their practice. Through the network, we will aim to touch 15 million lives in the Malabar region within 2 years," explained Dr P. Mohanakrishnan, CEO Meitra Hospital.

"Technology has been proving to be a great enabler in ushering disruptions across multiple sectors. In healthcare as well, we have seen the role the recent advancements that have played in propelling great innovations to democratize healthcare through wider access. Meitra Hospital has launched this care network with a twin agenda of not just bringing world class care right at the doorsteps of people but also simultaneously strengthening the existing infrastructure to make it more robust and ready to address various requirements including critical care," said Dr. Ali Faizal, Director, Meitra Hospital.

The network will also have flagship clinics under the initiative that are powered by advanced device-assisted telemedicine. Apart from bringing multi-specialty consultation through telemedicine, the Meitra Care Clinics will provide services that are essential to that region & need attention. The clinics will have an advanced physiotherapy & fitness studio, psychological counselling, diet & nutrition counselling, along with a pharmacy, laboratory& home care services.
