Credence Hospital is a multi-specialty hospital located in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India.[1] [2]
Credence Hospital, established in 2001, has grown into one of the largest centers for Assisted Reproduction and IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) in South India.[3] Credence Hospital's commitment to providing quality medical care and achieving success rates on par with international standards has been central to its evolution over the years. What started as a pioneering center for Assisted Reproduction and IVF in South India has gradually transformed into South India’s first comprehensive multi-specialty hospital for women. The high-quality care provided by Credence Hospital has made it a regional and international destination for women’s healthcare, attracting not only patients from Kerala but also individuals from other states in India and abroad.[4]
In January 2006, Credence Hospital took a progressive leap forward in its mission to provide comprehensive and specialized care for women by expanding and relaunching itself as a Superspecialty Women’s Health Institute and Research Center[5] . This strategic move positioned Credence Hospital as a pioneer in South India, making it the first exclusive, multi-specialty hospital dedicated exclusively to women’s health in the region.
The concept of a hospital dedicated to women is unique in itself and a progressive step forward in healthcare delivery practice. Contrary to the popular perception that a women’s hospital can only provide maternity services, Credence Hospital offers comprehensive healthcare to women which includes; Internal Medicine, Obstetrics & Gynecology, General Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Gastroenterology, Neurology, Orthopedics, Otorhinolaryngology (ENT - Ears, Nose, and Throat), Cardiology, Dermatology, Psychiatry, Ophthalmology, Physiotherapy, Pediatrics, Urology, and Radiology. The hospital also offers super-specialty departments in Neonatology, Genetics, Reproductive Medicine, Advanced Endoscopy, and Fetal Medicine. In addition, the hospital provides advanced services such as Intra-uterine Fetal Therapy, Cord-blood Banking, and Advanced Genetics. Before establishing these departments in Credence Hospital, these services were unavailable in Trivandrum.[6] [7]
Today, Credence Hospital is Trivandrum’s leading family hospital that is focused on the care of Women and Children.
