About the JKKN Teaching Hospital

The clinical infrastructure behind every JKKN healthcare program

The JKKN Teaching Hospital is a 500-bed multi-specialty tertiary care facility attached to the JKKN education campus at Kumarapalayam. Facilities include 24x7 emergency and trauma care, ICU, NICU, cardiac care unit, dialysis unit, operation theatres, modern radiology (CT, MRI, ultrasound) and a fully equipped pathology lab serving patients from across Tamil Nadu.

Every BDS, MDS, B.Pharm, Pharm.D, B.Sc Nursing, M.Sc Nursing and Allied Health student receives structured clinical rotations at the hospital. This means thousands of real patient interactions during training, supervised by experienced consultants. No simulation-only learning — JKKN students graduate with genuine hands-on clinical competence.

The JKKN Teaching Hospital serves 500+ outpatients daily and admits 100+ inpatients across specialties including general medicine, surgery, orthopaedics, obstetrics & gynaecology, paediatrics, dentistry, ENT, ophthalmology and cardiology. This high volume gives students exposure to diverse clinical cases ranging from primary care to tertiary interventions.

Yes. The JKKN Teaching Hospital is a fully operational public hospital serving Kumarapalayam, Namakkal, Salem, Erode and nearby districts. It accepts walk-in outpatients, scheduled appointments, insurance cases and emergency admissions. Subsidised rates are available for below-poverty-line patients through government health schemes including CMCHIS and PMJAY.

The hospital hosts 20+ specialty departments — general medicine, general surgery, orthopaedics, obstetrics & gynaecology, paediatrics, cardiology, neurology, nephrology, urology, ENT, ophthalmology, dermatology, psychiatry, dentistry (all MDS specialties), anaesthesia, radiology, pathology, physiotherapy, and a dedicated trauma & emergency department operational round the clock.

Few private teaching institutions in Tamil Nadu own a 500-bed hospital on campus — most partner externally. JKKN's in-campus integration means clinical teaching, research and student rotations happen in one coordinated environment. Combined with NAAC A+ accreditation, this is a unique advantage for healthcare aspirants in western and central Tamil Nadu.
