Pragathi Speciality Hospital was established on February 9th, 1998 as a 10-bed medical center in Puttur by doctors U. Sripathi Rao and Sudha S Rao. There were very few private health care facilities in this town with a growing population.

Over the past 19 years, lakhs of patients have benefited from the emergency and inpatient care provided by Pragathi speciality hospital. On February 9th, 2004, the hospital was significantly expanded and moved to its current campus. In 2012, the first paramedical college in Puttur, Pragathi college of paramedical sciences was started.

We were Puttur’s first hospital to receive NABH entry-level accreditation (2019). We teamed up with KMC Hospitals in 2021 and for the benefit of the people in Puttur, they now offer emergency medical services 24*7. In 2022, BC Trust installed a new CT scanner in collaboration with Shri Kshethra Dharmasthala Rural Development Project (SKDRDP).
