Thrissur

Thrissur brings the group's specialist allergy, asthma and pulmonary care to the community it serves — high-precision allergy testing, adult and paediatric respiratory clinics, a day-care immunotherapy pavilion and round-the-clock acute triage. Every visit is backed by one shared clinical record, so your history follows you across every AAF centre.

Our story

From one 40-bed unit to a group people trust.

Allergy Asthma Foundation began in 1998 with a single 40-bed unit and a simple promise: bring senior-consultant care within reach of the communities we serve. Nearly three decades on, that promise still shapes every decision — from how we design a waiting room to how we price a health check.

Founders & leadership

Co-founder & Chief Medical Director
