Located along the NH Bypass at Palathara, Kollam, N.S. Memorial Institute of Medical Sciences (NSMIMS) stands as a beacon of compassionate care. What sets us apart is not just the medical services we offer—but the soul with which we offer them.
Born from the vision of the Kollam District Cooperative Hospital Society Ltd No. Q952, NSMIMS is Southern Kerala’s first specialty cooperative hospital. We began our journey on 17th February 2006, with a clear mission: to bring the 'care' back into healthcare. Our hospital was built in loving memory of Com. N. Sreedharan, a respected politician and humanitarian affectionately known as “N.S.” We strive every day to honor his legacy—with dedication, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to the community.
Our hospital is governed by an eleven-member executive body, operating under the rules and ethics of the Cooperative Department. We’re not just guided by policies—we're guided by people, and by the belief that every patient deserves dignity, affordable care, and kindness.
What started as a small cooperative dream has grown into one of Kerala’s most respected medical institutions. Today, NSMIMS is a 500+ bedded multispecialty hospital.

But more than awards, it’s the smiles we see and the lives we touch that matter most.
At NSMIMS, affordability is a promise. Our treatment costs are 30% lower than neighboring hospitals, and we offer special discounts for economically weaker sections (AAY)—a 30% discount on hospital bills (excluding medicines) and 10% off on all medicines. Because we believe that no one should be denied care because of cost.
Our vision is clear and rooted in humanity: to serve the poor, the needy, and the entire community with dignity and compassion. For us, this isn’t charity—it’s our responsibility.
NSMIMS is not just a hospital. It’s a movement. A promise. A tribute. A place where every life is valued, and every patient is treated like family.
