It is 2 km from the heart of the city with direct road from Marine Drive at pachalam, and a secondary seafront road reaching the hospital via the ancient Mount Carmel (Chathiath) church.Due to its uniquely placed position, only 2 km from the High court of Kerala, it is accessible from both the city and the suburbs. Approach from Kaloor is to be avoided in view of a railway crossing enroute, however, direct access is possible from Kacheripady and High court junction without any significant roadblocks.
