“I and all my relatives often come here for treatment. Recently I was admitted here for delivery. At that time I received a good medical care from here. All the nurses and staffs were good enough to take care of me. I like all the doctors here because of their good treatment. Overall I like this hospital and I like to tell everybody about this hospital.” – Mrs. Girija, age 23.

“I, Mr. Prabhakaran, was suffering from stomach ache. I was admitted in a hospital in Ottapalam for six days. The doctor said that it was a kind of ulcer, and I got little relief and was discharged. After five months the pain again started and was admitted to another hospital for a day. They diagnosed it as renal calculi. As I was following the same medication again I got severe pain and was taken to SDA Hospital in Ottapalam. With the warm care and cooperation of Dr. Sunil and the nurses, I felt comfortable and my disease was diagnosed as appendicitis. I was admitted on 25th of April and my surgery was posted on 26th of April. Surgery started at 9 am and I was in recovery by 11 am. After that I was recovered fully. Now I am healthy to thank the service and care I got there in this hospital. I and my family are really thankful for the service which I got in SDA Hospital in Ottapalam.” – Mr. & Mrs. Prabhakaran Chopully Akalur
