This humongous super-speciality healthcare facility, constructed with Mata Amritanandamayi Devi’s blessings and love, is dedicated to the people of India for healing the sick, helping the needy, and advancing the cause of medical science. This is the second large-scale Amrita Hospital in India after the iconic 1,200-bed Amrita Hospital, Kochi was established 25 years ago by the Mata Amritanandamayi Math.
MAM is focused on alleviating the burden of the poor through helping to meet each of their five basic needs: food, shelter, healthcare, education, and livelihood. With that intention, Amrita Hospital, Faridabad will carry forward the legacy of Amrita Hospitals that began in 1998.

It serves more than 10 lakh outpatients and more than 70,000 inpatients annually.
The massive healthcare infrastructure has over 3.33 million sq. ft. of built-up area spread over 125 acres of land and supports a daily patient volume of approximately 3,500 outpatients with 95 percent inpatient occupancy.
