About Rural India Hospital Project

Genesis

An America- India Dispensary (AID) was registered on 15th January 1964 as a Not for Profit Corporation Chartered under the Laws of the State of Illinois, USA and the leading citizens of Coorg under the leadership of late Sri C M Poonacha, former Chief Minister of Coorg and Union Railway Minister to start a hospital in Ammathi. By a supplement agreement on 14th December 1976, the AID was changed to Rural India Hospital Project (RIHP) – as a Public Trust on 14th December 1976. Mr. Robert W. Caldwell, American Counsel in India laid the foundation stone for America – India Dispensary on 16th of October 1964. This Dispensary gradually evolved into a 48-bedded hospital, named as Rural India Health Project (RIHP) Hospital.

The Hospital is situated in Ammathi, a small town in Kodagu District, the land of coffee plantations, rendering services to the rural community including large number of plantation labourers and tribal families.

“It is my honour and privilege to be able to contribute in a small way to developing the infrastructure and capabilities of the American Hospital which we used to call RIHP Ammathi as children. I am positive with you on board as one of the trustees it will be put to good use and I look forward to continuing to contribute to this cause and also motivating likeminded people, I know well to do the same”

Mr. Nellamakkada Lokesh Bopanna

Managing Director, Schunk Carbon Technology India Pvt. Ltd. Bangalore

“Rural India Health Project Hospital as previously known as American Hospital and this hospital has been a blessing to our district of Kodagu. The hospital has great medical facilities with minimum charges that are affordable to any common man. The present team of Doctors heading the hospital, Dr.Chandru and Dr. Shubha would most definitely take the hospital to greater heights in near future.On behalf of our society; I wish to pay reverence truly from my heart. Wishing the team all the best and support” With love always

Mr.K.A Kushalappa (Sajan)

“RIHP Ammathi, Kodagu is more nostalgia for me than anything else having grown alongside from my childhood. The present Management and CMO have done an awesome job in reviving the health centre from its quite slumber. I see it as a little oasis of hope for the community in the proximity. It has been a noble privilege for me to have got an opportunity to work with the management of RIHP in up scaling the facility. After all, I am guided by what Martin Luther King JR said, Life’s persistent and most urgent question is ‘what are you doing for others’ such is my belief”
