Our Journey

A Legacy of Compassion, Growth & Clinical Excellence Since 1995

What began as a small neighbourhood clinic has evolved over three decades into a technology-driven, NABH-accredited tertiary care hospital.

The beginning

How it began

Revathi Medical Center was founded on 9 February 1995 as a small clinic at Kumaranagar, Tiruppur, to provide accessible, compassionate primary care to the local community. What followed is a story of vision, perseverance, community trust, and an unwavering commitment to ethical, affordable, high-quality healthcare. Now in its 31st year of service, RMC stands as one of the region's most advanced tertiary care institutions.
