About us
Bodhi Mind Care Hospital is a growing mental health service in Coimbatore, built on a UK model of psychiatric care. We're guided by The Bodhi Way: Saving Lives Diligently, Improving Access Inclusively, Promoting Awareness Holistically and Serving Others Selflessly. Schools are increasingly asking us to support children with additional needs, so we're building a dedicated school support team.
