Happy and healthy elders with dignity and security

Nightingales Medical Trust (NMT,Bangalore,India; is a Non Government Organization (NGO) dedicated to eldercare. We firmly believe that elders should remain an integral part of their family. We work towards bringing joy, dignity, hope and health to their lives. We sensitize the community and the government to the problems that elders face and encourage public participation in our efforts to create various family based support systems for elders of different socio economic groups.

It began with Dr. Radha S. Murthy and Mr. S. Premkumar Raja teaming up to start the NIGHTINGALES HOME HEALTH SERVICES in January 1996. This innovative service was designed to make the lives of senior citizens easier by providing all possible medical care at their doorstep.

This experience with senior citizens convinced them that medical help alone could not resolve the problems of elders, who also needed emotional and social support. To meet this need for a comprehensive eldercare the NIGHTINGALES MEDICAL TRUST was formed in 1998.
