'''SUT Academy of Medical Sciences''' is located in [[Thiruvananthapuram]], the capital of [[Kerala]] state, [[India]]. It was founded in 2006 and is managed under the Sri. Moogambigai Charitable Trust.

== Location ==
SUT Academy of Medical Sciences is in the capital city of Kerala, Thiruvananthapuram — just 13 kilometers from Thiruvananthapuram city. The college campus and the hospital lie on [[Vattappara]] to [[Nedumangad]] road, at Vencod Junction.

== History of the SUT Group of Hospitals==

Sree Uthradom Thirunal Hospital was inaugurated by [[E. K. Nayanar]], then chief minister of Kerala, in 1987,<ref name=start>{{Cite web|title=SUT Academy of Medical Sciences Thiruvananthapuram NEET Cutoff {{!}} Rank {{!}} Fees {{!}} Admission|url=https://mbbscouncil.com/listing/sut-academy-of-medical-sciences-thiruvananthapuram/|website=MBBSCouncil|language=en-US|access-date=2020-05-23}}</ref> at a time when tertiary care facilities were extremely inadequate in this part of the country. The main aim of the hospital was to establish such advanced medical and surgical facilities one by one.

The hospital was started with full facilities for [[Interventional Cardiology]] and Open Heart Surgery. The first coronary artery bypass surgery on beating heart in [[Kerala]] was done here. The first [[Mitral valvuloplasty]] was done here as well in 1988, three years after its introduction.{{{fact|date=May 2020}}

SUT Group started its second hospital, SUT Mother & Baby Hospital, at [[Pattom]] in 2001. It is devoted to high standards of care in Obstetrics, Gynecology and Neonatology.

The Academy was started in 2006 based in 30 acres of grounds.<ref name=start/>

A new SUT Royal Hospital was started near [[Ulloor]] in 2010.

SUT Group, under the Dr. K.N. Pai Heart Foundation had established a SUT Rural General Hospital at [[Vattappara]], [[Nedumangad]] Municipality, to provide medical care at affordable costs. This hospital became the choice for the establishment of the new medical college, which is now being expanded to make it a center for the learning and practice of medicine. Currently, the hospital and campus is run by Sri.Moogambigai Charitable and educational Trust.

==Campus==
The campus contains separate hostels for men and women, each complete with a study room, entertainment and indoor games room and an in-house gymnasium.
