Vithura Taluk Hospital, situated in the serene hill region of Vithura (Kerala 695551), functions as a key healthcare facility serving the local community and tribal settlements across four panchayats. With GPS coordinates at 8.6731, 77.0835 and operational round-the-clock, the hospital features approximately 65 beds, 24‑hour emergency services, X‑ray, laboratory diagnostics, pediatric, obstetrics and gynecology facilities, as well as specialized clinics in adolescent, psychiatric, dental, and eye care . The Community Health Center (CHC) model incorporates a block structure with multiple PHCs and sub-centers, catering to over 1.5–2 lakh residents, including tribal populations and estate workers in nearby regions like Ponmudi, Bonacaud, and Brimore .
In early 2025, the facility underwent a major upgrade: the Health Minister inaugurated a new outpatient building along with a dialysis unit, part of a ₹2.96 crore Thiruvananthapuram district panchayat initiative. This addition aims to enhance basic healthcare infrastructure and improve access—especially benefiting backward communities in the hilly terrain . Public feedback shows mixed satisfaction: while many praise the friendly staff and improved infrastructure, ongoing shortages of experienced medical professionals and technicians have been noted .
