Kudallur: First Ayurvedic Hospital Comes Soon

Kudallur gets her first hospital in the valley of Thannikkunnu. The famous ‘thriphala’ family is behind this prestigious venture, which is rightly led by the known Ayurvedic physician Dr. Hurair Kutty. The ‘thriphala’ family, the real name of which is Pallimanjayalil is famous for their tradition of service to the society. The family got the legacy of Ayurvedic service from the daughter in law Thitheemu Umma, who was the member of well known Kattipparuthy ancestry of Valanchery. As she was the knot of a glorious tradition, her presence became a blessing to the village of Kudallur. Thitheemu Umma served the village by giving her loving care to the needy people, especially the children. She had an in-depth knowledge of the treatment for various diseases. The effectiveness of her treatment made her a known healer in the region and the Pallimanjayalil family became famous for the Ayurvedic treatment it provides. Thitheemu Umma was married to P.K.Abdullakutty Sahib, a freedom fighter. Dr. Hurair Kutty is their son and the current leader of the rich tradition. Dr.Shiyas and Dr.Niyas, sons of Hurair Kutty are the new torch bearers in the family. Their young sisters Nishitha and Manhath are also Ayurveda doctors now.
The foundation stone for Thitheemu Umma Memorial Ayurvedic Hospital and Research Centre was laid on 3rd January 2010 at 9.30 am by Paloly Mohammed Kutty, Minister for Local Administration.
