This descriptive research has made an attempt to assess the satisfaction level of patients towards health care services offered by Puduvai Life Line Hospital by administering a well-structured questionnaire to 110 out patients of the hospital, selected using Convenience sampling technique. The study has revealed that most patients choose a hospital for making their medical consultations based on their self belief and trust and opinion of peers. Services of the hospital and quality of doctors play a significant role in patients deciding about hospital to make their consultations.Barring a solitary patient, all the other patients have rated the hospital as good or very good. This good rating of the hospital by the patients is due to satisfactory diagnosis procedure consisting of interpretation of investigation report by the doctors of the hospital, quality of medicines prescribed, proper explanation of disease by the doctors, prompt conduct of investigation, good Communication by doctors, efficiency of doctors, minimum cost of consultation, minimum Time required for consulting doctors, timely Availability of doctors, minimum cost of medicines, suitable Number of investigations conducted, minimum Cost of investigation and suitable timing. However, the hospital needs to concentrate on improving seating facilities by providing more chairs for patients waiting for consulting doctors and waiting time of the patients needs to be minimized. Time factor exerts significant impact on patients' overall satisfaction about the services provided by the hospital, suggesting the importance to be attached to minimising waiting time for patients.
