Ramnath Clinic's story runs from a full nursing home in 1973 to the multi-specialty outpatient practice it is today — the same family, the same building, a changing shape of care.
Dr. A. Ramanathan establishes Ramnath Nursing Home in Puthiyara. In its early years the building runs full inpatient services, including a minor operation theatre and a labour room — a working nursing home for the neighbourhood, not just a clinic.
Logistics eventually make continuing inpatient services impractical. The nursing home closes its beds, OT, and labour room, and the practice continues as a purely outpatient clinic under Dr. S. Krishnakumar — Dr. Ramanathan's son-in-law — carrying the family practice forward in a new form.
In July 2026, the practice expands well beyond general medicine. Paediatrics, gynaecology, dentistry, physical medicine & rehabilitation, physiotherapy, and nephrology join general and family medicine under the same roof, supported by an in-house pharmacy and a lab sample collection point run in partnership with Aswini Diagnostics. Dental and orofacial pain care operates as its own dedicated practice within the building — visit ramnathdental.in or call 8921588280 directly.
Through every change in scope, Ramnath Clinic has stayed a family-run practice on the same road in Puthiyara. The name on the door, and the family behind it, is the constant across five decades — only the range of care under that name has grown.
