Avitis Institute of Medical Sciences[1][2][3] is an Indian hospital based in Palakkad, Kerala, India. In May 2018, two of the hospital's executive directors, Santhi Promoth and Jyothy Palat, reached out to help the family of nurse Lini Puthussery. They learned nurse Lini had died within days of contracting the Nipah virus after dutifully attending to the first victim of the virus outbreak in Kerala. The executives promised they would see to it that the educational expenses of Lini's children, ages 2 and 5 at the time of her death, would be covered, beginning with the 2019 academic year and carrying forward to when they acquire a professional degree or begin a postgraduate course.[4] In August 2018, the hospital again gained notability for their aid and rescue efforts when helping the victims of Nelliyampathy, Kerala after flooding and heavy rains caused 70 landslides making roads impossible from the upper reaches of the Nelliyampathy Mountains to the mainland.[5]
