Welcome to T.T.K Hospital

T.T.K Hospital was born from Dr. Shanthi Ranganathan’s foresight and determination.

Her vision of giving a new life to thousands of individuals affected by addiction and rebuilding their broken families became a reality due to the generosity and support of the TTK Group of Companies. The TT Ranganathan Clinical Research Foundation, had its beginnings in 1980 as a day care centre for treating alcoholics. In 1989, the therapeutic services were extended to drug dependent persons as well.
