Accessibility Statement

At Kathir Memorial Hospital, we are committed to ensuring that our website — www.kathirmemorialhospital.in — is accessible and usable for everyone, including people with disabilities. We believe that quality healthcare information and digital access should be available to all, without barriers.

Our Commitment to Web Accessibility

An accessible website allows patients, caregivers, and visitors with disabilities to browse and interact with the site with the same level of ease and confidence as any other visitor. We strive to achieve this by following recognized accessibility standards and by continually improving our website’s design, structure, and content.

Standards and Compliance

This website has been developed in accordance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, achieving Level AA compliance.
We have implemented a variety of accessibility features and best practices to ensure compatibility with assistive technologies, including screen readers, voice-recognition software, and keyboard navigation.

Accessibility adjustments on this site

  • To make the site more user-friendly and inclusive, we have implemented the following measures:

  • Used accessibility auditing tools to identify and correct potential accessibility issues

  • Defined clear and consistent heading structures throughout all pages

  • Added alternative text (alt-text) for all images and graphics

  • Implemented color combinations that meet the required contrast ratios

  • Ensured that all interactive elements are accessible via keyboard navigation

  • Reduced unnecessary animations and motion to minimize visual discomfort

  • Included captions and accessible formats for all videos, audio, and downloadable content

  • Set the site language and logical reading order for screen-reader compatibility

Declaration of partial compliance with the standard due to third-party content

Some pages may include third-party content or embedded tools (such as Google Maps, social-media feeds, or appointment-booking widgets). While we aim to ensure that all features meet accessibility standards, certain elements are beyond our control. We continue to work with these third-party providers to improve accessibility wherever possible.
