As medical science forges ahead at a breath taking pace, embracing advanced technology on multiple fronts, it is often felt that the essential values of compassion and empathy need to be restored. Athani Hospital was created with a view to bring healthcare to the needy in an ethical, compassionate way. It also aims to bridge the gap in advanced healthcare care in its immediate geography.

In the days of yore, roadside granite platforms called ‘Athani’ used to provide respite to travellers by taking over their loads. Today, ‘Athani’ is an oft-used expression for ‘willingly taking on another’s load’. Athani Hospital attempts to stay true to the values embedded in its name, by supporting the needy in their quest for affordable healthcare.
