The facility offers intensive, trauma-informed, multidisciplinary care for severe mental health conditions
Amaha has launched its first super-speciality mental health hospital in Thanisandra, Bengaluru. The purpose-built facility with 27 beds marks a significant step forward in offering acute, high-quality interventions for individuals experiencing severe psychiatric conditions and acute distress.
Dr Amit Malik, Founder and CEO, Amaha, stated “Over the last nine years, Amaha has grown into India’s foremost and largest super specialty mental healthcare service, driven by a commitment to clinical excellence and best quality care experience. This journey has been both professional and deeply personal for me, not just as a psychiatrist trained in the UK who has helped set up and run services across global systems, but also as a carer.”
Dr Divya G Nallur, Clinical Director, Amaha, said, “Our multidisciplinary clinical team with over 200 psychiatrists, psychologists, and care professionals supporting families 24/7 is committed to clinical excellence, while placing each client’s comfort and safety first. Our holistic approach ensures that therapeutic interventions are supported by wellness activities, nutritional meal plans, and thoughtfully designed spaces that promote healing. This hospital represents our shared belief that mental healthcare should uphold dignity, compassion, and science in equal measure.”
Dinesh Gundu Rao, Minister for Health and Family Welfare, Government of Karnataka, said, “Mental health is becoming a priority in our public health agenda. Today, it’s not just the elderly; young people too are increasingly affected. Rapid societal shifts, academic and career pressures, substance use, digital addiction, and poor sleep are all major contributors. Facilities like Amaha’s hospital offer intensive, trauma-informed, multidisciplinary care that can truly make a difference. I’m also pleased to share that psychiatric assessments are now part of the 14 core health parameters under Karnataka’s public healthcare services.”
Dr Prabha Chandra, Senior Professor of Psychiatry, Dean of Behavioral Sciences and former Head of Psychiatry at NIMHANS, remarked, “What began as a small idea in 2019 has now taken shape as a full-fledged facility offering quality inpatient care with continuity across Amaha’s centres. What stands out is Amaha’s commitment to a rights-based approach, legal compliance, and placing patients and families at the centre of care.”
