Nestled along the Kollam Bypass and spread across 26 acres, N.S. Health City is more than just a hospital—it’s a living symbol of what a united community can achieve through the cooperative movement. Owned and operated by the Kollam District Cooperative Hospital Society, this remarkable institution reflects a vision where healthcare is not just a service, but a commitment to humanity.
At N.S. Health City, the focus goes far beyond treatment. Here, healthcare is approached holistically—with initiatives spanning disease prevention, geriatric and palliative care, medical research, training, health education, medicine production, and social outreach. The society proves that cooperatives can make a real and lasting difference in people’s lives.
Every year, more than seven lakh patients turn to N.S. Health City for care. With a unique blend of allopathic and Ayurvedic systems, patients are offered the best of both worlds. The institutions under the society are named in honor of Comrade N. Sreedharan (N.S.), a revered humanitarian and Communist leader whose legacy lives on through this noble initiative.
Today, the society runs eight institutions, powered by the dedication of 1,750 employees, including 160 doctors. What makes this cooperative stand out is not just its scale, but its sustainability. With a paid-up capital of ₹145 crore and consistent dividend distribution since 2010-11, it stands proudly as the only cooperative hospital society in Kerala to achieve such financial strength.
This is not just a healthcare system—this is a community-driven movement rooted in compassion, care, and collective progress.
N.S. Health City isn’t just one institution—it’s a growing family of centers that together provide care, learning, and innovation under one cooperative umbrella. Today, eight dynamic institutions operate under the Kollam District Cooperative Hospital Society, each serving a unique purpose in the journey toward better health and community well-being:
These institutions reflect the society’s unwavering commitment to a people-first approach in healthcare—spanning modern medicine, traditional healing, education, diagnostics, senior care, and beyond.
But the journey doesn’t stop here.
Guided by a visionary governing body, the society is looking ahead with bold and compassionate plans. In the coming years, N.S. Health City aspires to bring more life-changing ideas to reality, including:
Every step we take is guided by a singular vision: to build India’s first Health City under the cooperative sector by 2030—a place where affordable, accessible, and inclusive care meets innovation and sustainability. This is more than an expansion plan; it’s a movement toward a healthier tomorrow—fueled by community spirit, visionary leadership, and an unshakeable belief in the power of cooperation.
