In-patient Ward :

 

The  IP department has started functioning from 01.06.05. Although 120 bed hospital capacity is attached to NIS, at present provision to admit 114 patients has been made. The response for IP is also like that of OP. 24 hours medical service with duty medical officers, staff nurse and PG students for the inpatients is provided.
 

The IP ward will function with its full bed strength within a course of time.

Eco friendly campus:

1.

The campus is eco-friendly. This is an exceptional project to have created a man-made pond in an institutional premise as a water conservation measure. A sewage recycling plant provides water for the herbal garden.

     
2.

Solar energy is being tapped to heat 12,000 litres of water every day, by using solar panels. It is proposed to develop the hillock behind the campus into a groove of medicinal plants.

The National Institute of Siddha has excellent infrastructure, dedicated faculty members and other non - teaching staff. This Institute is poised to establish the glory of Siddha system so that the system can play a major role globally in the field of health care.
