Sunrise Group of Hospitals was born from a belief that quality healthcare should not be a privilege — it should be a right. Founded in 2005 by Dr. Hafeez Rahman Padiyath and Mrs. Parveen Hafeez, Sunrise began as a centre of excellence for minimally invasive surgery and gynaecology in Kochi. Today, it has grown into Kerala's fastest growing multi-speciality hospital network — eight hospitals, 36+ specialties, and a team of over 250 specialist doctors committed to one thing: the health of every patient who walks through our doors.
We have always believed that healing is as much about how you are treated as it is about what you are treated for. At Sunrise, clinical excellence is not separate from compassion — it is inseparable from it. From complex laparoscopic surgeries performed to global benchmarks, to maternity care that feels like home, to corporate health programmes that protect thousands of employees — every service we offer carries the same foundational commitment: Care Beyond Cure.

For Sunrise, it has been 20 glorious years of caring - the pain, the labour, the sweat and blood, tears of joy and sorrow, countless ups and downs - until the present!
As a doctor, and specially as a fellow human being, healthcare has always been particularly challenging and exciting for me. Dabbling with life is never easy. But the kind of fulfilment I have experienced from caring and curing countless people from Kochi, Kerala, India and beyond, is matchless.
At Sunrise Hospital, we follow the decorum of placing the patient first. It's not the treatment of the disease per se, but the experience that comes first - the feeling of belongingness, his/her mental condition, the trust and confidence that every staff at Sunrise Hospital is out to help him/her, hold his/her hand, guide every step to achieve complete cure and heal wholly.
We treat medical conditions; but we heal people, families, friends, societies, communities - just like the way the light of the sun lights up every nook and corner. We wish to touch upon the hearts of every single person who steps into our premises - the patients, the staff, people from every walk of life.
For 20 years, you have put your trust in us. We are now stronger and surer of how we can continue and serve you better every single day through our most advanced treatment facilities, procedures, medications and above all, love and care.
