Established in 2002 as the Kerala Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS), now known as KIMSHEALTH, our institution has evolved into a distinguished center for advanced medical care and postgraduate medical education. Within just two years of its inception, the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) recognized the excellence of our faculty and approved DNB programs in Cardiology and Radiology. Today, KIMSHEALTH stands as one of India’s largest private postgraduate medical institutions, offering 28 specialties, including 14 super specialties (DrNB) and 14 broad specialties (DNB).

Our commitment to academic excellence is reflected in consistently high pass rates in DNB final examinations and the remarkable accomplishments of our graduates. Gold medalists in specialties such as Cardiology, ENT, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Orthopaedics, Respiratory Medicine, and General Surgery have emerged from our institution. Notably, in 2018, our dedication to teaching and clinical excellence was recognized with the National Award from the Association of National Board Accredited Institutions (ANBAI) on behalf of NBEMS.

Beyond our medical training programs, KIMSHEALTH has established academic collaborations with international institutions in countries such as the USA, Russia, Oman, and the UK. These partnerships enable us to offer a wide array of courses—from AHA and AAFP-certified emergency medical training to PhD and fellowship programs. Our graduates regularly secure All India First Ranks, gold medals, prestigious fellowships, and research scholarships at both national and international levels.

The Skill Lab at KIMSHEALTH Clinical Skills and Simulation Centre has been empaneled by NBEMS, New Delhi, for the training of NBEMS trainees. This initiative enhances the practical and clinical competencies of medical professionals, ensuring they receive training aligned with the highest standards of healthcare education.

At KIMSHEALTH, we provide state-of-the-art infrastructure, including advanced laboratories, libraries, and clinical facilities that support high-quality patient care and innovative research. Our commitment to continuous learning is demonstrated through regular national, international, and state-level CMEs, workshops, and webcasts. The active academic contributions of our faculty to reputed national and international indexed journals further affirm our commitment to the advancement of medical science.

In summary, KIMSHEALTH stands as a beacon of medical and academic excellence, delivering comprehensive education, exceptional patient care, and a legacy of achievements that continue to shape the future of healthcare in India and beyond.
