OBC-H-02 · Thiruvananthapuram

Travancore Institute of Medical Sciences

480 beds. NABH and NABL. The quieter capital-city option — preferred when the clinical lead is neurosurgery or complex internal medicine, or when the flight lands at TVM.

NABH NABL

White modernist hospital with laterite base, Thiruvananthapuram

Why it is on the panel

TIMS does not try to be a hotel. The international rooms are adequate; the neurosurgical ICU is the reason we visit. Dr Thomas Kurian’s theatre list is the one we protect. Laboratory is NABL; we have audited turnaround on histopathology for visiting oncology opinions.

Infection control

Hospital-wide HAI dashboard, reviewed with Obeocure twice a year. Isolation rooms on every floor. We have declined other TVM units that could not show the same.
