Van Allen Hospital was established in 1913 by a group of Christian missionaries as a place where people could receive quality medical attention in a picturesque setting of comfort and care. Located in Kodaikanal, Tamilnadu, at an altitude of about 7000 ft in the Western Ghats, we are nearly 100 kms away from the nearest available tertiary referral centre. Building upon our 100-year foundation, we continue, in the spirit of Christian service to provide the best in medical services to all who walk through our doors. We currently offer acute medical care, mother and childcare and orthopaedic and fracture care. A vacancy has arisen to commence ASAP to provide obstetric and general medical care. While this is a long term vacancy, candidates who are interested in short term positions can also apply. Salary will be decided upon qualification and experience. Free accommodation will be provided. Kodaikanal International School offers a considerable scholarship for children of doctors working at the Van Allen.
