About KNMH

KAMALA NEHRU MEMORIAL HOSPITAL & REGIONAL CANCER CENTRE, PRAYAGRAJ

The leading charitable hospital of Uttar Pradesh, committed to providing affordable, state-of-the-art, comprehensive healthcare to all sections of society, with unceasing quality and safety, blending innovation and teaching as an integral part of patient care.

The sprawling green campus, spread over a 17-acre estate, is located in the heart of Prayagraj, neighboring Swaraj Bhawan and Anand Bhawan, homes of India’s freedom movement.

KNMH traces its roots to the Freedom Struggle, when in the year 1931, Smt. Kamala Nehru converted some rooms in Swaraj Bhawan into a Congress dispensary.

Presiding over it all was Kamala ji herself, a woman frail in health but indomitable in spirit, giving her time, labor, and overall compassion till her untimely death in 1936.

Mahatma Gandhi’s Promise to Kamala Nehru

“The promise made to her by me, that I would do what lay in my power to see that the work for which she had made herself responsible, was carried on even after her death.”
