preference. The speciality services include Open heart surgeries, Kidney

Information pertaining to whether one

GKNM, Ramakrishna are the leading hospitals in Coimbatore . Which hospital is one able to
recall when it comes to each of the speciality services, amongst the five major
hospitals – data related to this was also collected. In order to assess the
perception of the respondants towards KMCH some agree – disagree questions were
asked. They were used to assess their liking and preference for KMCH.
The type of research adopted was the
Performance monitoring type. The data was collected using a standardized
questionnaire, through the interview mode. The target respondant groups were
the households of upper middle class category. Non – probability judgmental
sampling was the sampling technique used. The sample size was 225.
Descriptive Statistics was used for
the analysis of the data collected. From the analysis it was found that KMCH
enjoys a good popularity as far as emergency care services are concerned. Regarding the awareness about the various
specialities, only open heart surgeries and Master health check ups are predominantly
known to the respondants. For all the other specialities the awareness level is
low. KMCH has attracted the highest number of recalls for emergency services,
hip/knee replacements, Brain Stroke and Master Health check up. The study also
