Our story, our people
Care with heart, rooted in Thindal, Erode.
The Birth of Nishanth Hospital, Erode
Founded in 2001 by Dr. Sumathi and Dr. Padmanaban, Nishanth Hospital was born not from grandeur, but from compassion and a quiet dream, to create a warm, welcoming space where every mother and child would be cared for with love.
After years of serving as duty doctors in government hospitals, they envisioned a small, purpose-driven hospital. With deep roots in a humble farming background, they built a 15-bed women’s hospital, not with luxury, but with dedication and heart.
The hospital is open 24 hours. Please contact us for individual doctors’ consultation timings. Our maternity services include normal and epidural deliveries, with epidural anaesthesia provided by Dr. Padmanaban.
Our long-standing nursing team provides care that feels like family, many have been with us since the beginning.
At Nishanth Hospital, we believe care should be kind, personal, and accessible to all, because every birth deserves a beautiful beginning.
