our story

2 JCI Accreditations; India's Only Dual 8th Edition Network Vadapalani (January 2025) and Alwarpet (October 2025).

Recognised among top 20 best hospitals in India by Newsweek, Kauvery Hospital has spent 25 years building a network where dual JCI 8th Edition accreditation, internationally trained surgeons, and genuine clinical depth meet a cost structure that makes high-stakes treatment genuinely accessible.

What brings most international patients to Kauvery is the highly specialised medical team. The Chief Orthopaedic Surgeon is a Co-Founder of the hospital, with FRCS Ortho (UK and Ireland) and 15 years at Guy's, St. Thomas' and King's College Hospital London.

The cardiac team holds India's first flex-arm Hybrid Cath Lab Operating Room and the TRANSTAN Best Heart and Lung Transplant award.

The fertility team includes a doctor who trained at Homerton University Hospital London and who won India's National Fertility Champion of the Year in 2024.

Every international patient receives airport transfer at no extra cost, a dedicated liaison from first enquiry, and 24/7 coordinator access throughout their stay.

Before you travel, your scans and reports are reviewed by the relevant specialist team and a written treatment plan with a cost estimate is sent to you.

After you return home, your treating doctor's direct contact details and a full discharge summary travel with you.

Is Kauvery Hospital JCI accredited?

Yes. Kauvery holds dual JCI 8th Edition accreditation: Vadapalani (January 2025) and Alwarpet (October 2025). JCI is the internationally recognised gold standard for hospital quality and patient safety. Both units hold the most current version of the standard, placing Kauvery among a very small group of hospital networks in India with more than one JCI-accredited campus.

How much does treatment at Kauvery Hospital cost for international patients?

Cost depends on the procedure, complexity, length of stay, and any investigations required. Treatment in India costs 60-80% less than comparable private care in the UK or US. Knee replacement costs USD 4,000-7,000 in India versus USD 30,000-49,000 in the USA. My 1Health provides a written estimate from Kauvery's specialist team based on your reports before you travel. You pay the same rate as going directly to the hospital.
