About Us: Kauvery Group of Hospitals launched its first hospital more than two decades ago. The founders of Kauvery Hospital were determined on creating world-class healthcare facilities that shall be affordable. The founding doctors set off on this dream in 1999 with a 30-bedded hospital in Trichy, focus on offering the best-in-class healthcare, with a personal touch. This was a very new concept in a tier 2 city like Trichy which lacked a tertiary care hospital at the time. Today, Kauvery is a multi-specialty hospital chain with 2250+ beds in six locations including Trichy, Chennai, Salem, Hosur, Tirunelveli and Bengaluru. With twelve hospitals and a workforce of over 8000+, Kauvery's mission is to provide exemplary secondary and tertiary care
