Van Allen hospital

Van Allen Hospital established in 1913 by a group of Christian missionaries to be a place where people could receive quality medical attention in a picturesque setting of comfort and caring atmosphere in Kodaikanal, Tamilnadu, India.

While a great deal has changed in health care and medical technology, the hospital is still a place of compassionate care that would make our founders proud. Building upon our 100-year foundation, we continue, in the spirit of Christian service to provide the best medical services to all who walk through our doors.

Kodaikanal is located at about 7000 ft altitude in the Western ghats in the southern part of India. Kodaikanal with the surrounding villages has a population of about 250,000.  Kodaikanal also attract 4 million tourists per year.

Van Allen receives about 7500 as outpatients per year. The number increases during the summer due to the influx of the tourist.

With  the nearest tertiary referral centre being three hours away  by ghat road, we are not able to provide life saving/changing procedures for want of specialist skill set. We are looking for like minded healthcare professionals who couldmake that difference.

Do you want to make a real difference in lives? Want to work ethically and away from cut throat practice? You can do all this among the picturesque mountains of Kodaikanal, serving communities in and around this area.
