On March 3, 2025, KIMSHEALTH proudly launched its dedicated Rare Disease Clinic — a first-of-its-kind initiative in Trivandrum, Kerala. This specialized clinic is designed to support patients and families living with rare and genetic diseases, offering comprehensive diagnosis, personalized care, and the latest treatment options.
🌐 Why a Rare Disease Clinic?
With over 7,000 known rare diseases, most of which are genetic, many patients go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed for years. Our goal is to change that. The Rare Disease Clinic at KIMSHEALTH brings together a multidisciplinary teamof expert doctors, including clinical geneticists, pediatricians, neurologists, hematologists, and more — all under one roof.
Our clinic aims to become a referral hub not just for Trivandrum but for the entire state of Kerala, delivering holistic care for patients with rare genetic conditions.
