The Seventh-day Adventist Hospital Ottapalam is a charitable mission hospital in Ottapalam in the Palakkad district of Kerala, India. It was established in 1969 as a part of a health care unit of the worldwide organisation - the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The hospital lies adjacent to the Palakkad - Shoranur highway.

History

The Adventist Church has formed the trust Council of Seventh-day Adventist Hospitals (COSDAH) and later Medical Trust of Seventh-day Adventists, which is a registered body under the Societies Registration Act XXI of 1860, Reg. No.516 of 1999, under which the hospitals are embedded. The trust operates on a no-loss no-profit basis.

The medical trust operates 11 hospitals across the country, under the umbrella of the Seventh-day Adventist denomination; these hospitals are affiliated to institutions like Loma Linda Medical Center. Four of the hospitals have nursing schools attached. The schools are being upgraded to the collegiate level.

The hospital role in serving the local community covers part of the district of Salem. The hospital serves a population of about 3,000,000. There are 210 beds. The hospital owns 33 acres of land.^[1]
