Introduction - Best Nephrology Hospital in Nagercoil

As a leading nephrology hospital in Nagercoil, we strive to deliver the best possible outcomes for our patients. At Sree Mookambika Institute of Medical Sciences, patient satisfaction is our top priority. Our nephrology department is designed to provide a comfortable and supportive environment for patients and their families. Our compassionate team is dedicated to guiding you through every step of your healthcare journey, ensuring that you receive the best nephrology care in Nagercoil. 

SMIMS established the Department of Nephrology in 2010. From a modest start with 1 Nephrologist, 1 technician and 1 Dialysis Machine – the unit has grown tremendously to the current 2 consultants, 23 state-of-art machines and 10 technicians, and is considered one of the best dialysis units in South Tamil Nadu – the largest in the region. The programme suns 3 shifts, is very economical, and performs 2,000 dialysis every month. Emergency dialysis is available round the clock. Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD) is also performed.

In 2017, the department started live related donor renal transplantation, and kidney transplantation is now performed routinely without leaving the patient with a heavy financial burden.
