In its first 10 years, the hospital delivered 15,000 babies. [3] Each time a new baby is born, the hospital gifts a mango sapling to the parents. [3] [2] The tradition was started by Dr. Kutty because his mother was unhappy that so many trees were cut down to make way for the hospital. [3]
The hospital takes a modern approach to care for women and children, offering laparoscopy surgery and diagnostic services. [1] [4] In 2015, the Cradle Hospital Calicut launched a mobile health app to help parents manage prenatal and paediatric needs, such as vaccinations and appointments. [5]
