Coimbatore stands second to Chennai in Tamil Nadu for highly affordable and quality healthcare deliveries of international standards. Coimbatore is also the preferred healthcare destination to the floating population from nearby towns and districts and also to the nearby districts of Kerala. The first healthcare centre which started in 1909 later became the Coimbatore Medical College Hospital (CMCH) during 1960s. The mushrooming of the hospitals in the city can be attributed to the vision of the industrialists. Many of the private hospitals in the city are promoted by them as an extension of their business portfolios and their services to the society. One such hospital is the Shanthi Social Services Hospital, which was inaugurated on 14th April 2010. In this hospital, welfare of the people who falls under the BPL category has been taken care of with utmost attention. Hence, they charge a nominal fee of Rs. 30 for its consultation. Such hospitals add value to our Smart City by and large.
