On 24th May 2026, Edappal Hospitals and CIMAR The Women's Hospital created history by hosting Triple Joy — a gathering of over 75 sets of triplets, all born at their centres across three decades, under one roof on a single day. The event has been officially recognised by the Asia Book of Records and the India Book of Records as the largest gathering of triplets born under a single hospital institution — believed to be a first not just in India, but in the world.
A World-Recognised Record
The Asia Book of Records and the India Book of Records officially recognised Triple Joy as the largest gathering of triplets organised by a single hospital institution — a milestone believed to be without precedent anywhere in the world. Across three decades and three centres in Edappal, Thrissur, and Kochi, the group has delivered over 300 sets of triplets. On 24th May 2026, more than 75 of those families came home.
At the Grand Hyatt Kochi, the gathering was more than a celebration of numbers. It was a homecoming for families who had entrusted the most significant moments of their lives to the care of Dr. K.K. Gopinathan and his teams. Children who had entered the world in the hands of the same doctors now filled a grand hall — a living testament to three decades of advanced fetal medicine and safe, compassionate care.
The full gathering at Grand Hyatt Kochi — 24th May 2026. Over 75 sets of triplets born at Edappal Hospitals and CIMAR centres, united for a record recognised by the Asia Book of Records and the India Book of Records.
The Chairman's Long-Standing Wish
At the heart of this record is Dr. K.K. Gopinathan, Founder and Chairman of CIMAR and the Gopinath Healthcare Group, who has overseen over 1,50,000 deliveries in a career spanning 45 years. Triple Joy was his long-standing wish — to one day see all these families together. On 24th May 2026, that wish became a world-recognised record.
I have spent 45 years bringing lives into this world. To see them walk back through the door — as children, as families — is a joy no record can fully measure.

For the team at Edappal Hospitals and CIMAR, Triple Joy was a reflection of three decades of advanced fetal medicine, safe deliveries, and the trust of thousands of families who chose to begin their story with them. The official certification ceremony — with the Asia Book of Records recognition presented on stage — marked the culmination of a journey that began not with a record attempt, but with a simple wish to see families reunited.

The event stands as a reminder that the measure of a hospital's legacy is not found in its infrastructure alone — it is found in the faces of the families it has served, and in the generations those families have brought forth.
