| Details About MIOT HOSPITAL - Orthopedic Surgery Hospital |
Profile
"Medicine is not a trade; it is a calling where the physician not only
thinks with his head but also with his heart."
Prof. Dr.P.V.A. Mohandas.
The Madras Institute of Orthopaedics and Traumatology (MIOT),
had its genesis as an independent wing of Vijaya Hospital, where
Padmashree Prof. Dr.P.V.A. Mohandas and his team performed
many a surgical impossibility in the field of Orthopaedics.
Subsequently, his international travel exposed him to the highly
impressive standards of hygiene and competence of medical services
in the West. He grew obsessed with an overpowering desire to
provide similar standards of professional health care in India.
He left no stone unturned, no expense spared until in February
1999 MIOT opened its doors to the public. Thus, the seed of
desire sown with dedication and nurtured with concerted effort,
sprouted and now stands before us as the imposing structure
of MIOT - the virtual brainchild of Dr. Mohandas.
MIOT Hospitals became a corporate body in early 1994 in tune
with the evolving hospital culture overseas. This multi-crore,
super-speciality hospital, nationally and internationally acclaimed
for its professional standards, has collaborators in Australia,
Germany and USA. The Hospital taps the advantage of this
collaboration by sending its Doctors and Nurses to Germany periodically
as part of its upgradation programme.
What meets the physical eye is the stately concrete masterpiece
of functional, modern architecture standing in a sprawling 22
acre site, but what accosts the mind's eye is the world that
lies within ….. the surge of emotions that it houses …..concern,
care and compassion that seek to wipe away the pain, anxiety
and helplessness of the ailing in an endeavour to usher in smiles.
The power of the emotions housed within has transformed a concrete
structure into a Noble Messiah of the Medical Profession. MIOT
has drawn a list of celebrities from Presidents of India and
Chief Ministers of several States to popular film stars and
Diplomats from Germany, U.S.A., Gulf, U.K., Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Dubai and the Maldives.
Founder
The passionate involvement of the renowned Orthopaedician,
Padmashree Prof. Dr.P.V.A. Mohandas in his profession
and his undeterred vision saw him accomplish his mission,
viz. the translation of his dreams into reality. Backed by
30 years of experience in Joint Replacement surgery and 40
years of professionalism in the field of Orthopaedic Medicare
in India and Europe, Dr. Mohandas has ceaselessly endeavoured
to make MIOT the only truly Global Hospital with world class
standard in India in the field of Joint Replacement surgery,
Orthopaedics and Trauma Medicare.
Dr. Mohandas, a name that needs no introduction in the field
of Medicine and Surgery in India, is considered as the father
of modern orthopaedic surgery in India. He brought into India
the new AO concept of fracture fixation and Joint Replacement
surgery. His tenure as Professor of Orthopaedics at Kilpauk
Medical College and Government Royapettah Hospital earned
him the fond appreciation as 'Teacher of Teachers' and
'Professor of Professors'. Dr. Mohandas was conferred
the 'Padmashree' award in 1992. The MGR Medical University,
Chennai awarded him the title of 'Doctor of Science'. He also
received a German Fellowship in 1994 from the German Society
of Fracture Management, a unique and singular honour.
Excellence
The lush greenery bordering the driveway, the landscaped gardens,
the fountain symbolizing hope, the smell of the moist grass
….a pleasant reminder of a cool summer shower on a warm day,
the vast expanse of the lobby, the choice taste that manifests
in the well designed interiors – you need to be told that
you are in a hospital. The usually attendant signs have been
carefully and thoughtfully substituted to put the patient
on to the road to recovery even as he enters a world of care.
To succeed in its pursuit of excellence, MIOT has ensured
that its Team of Doctors dedicate their expertise to
just one hospital,
giving the patients their undivided
time and total attention. Experienced specialists,
renowned in their field head the respective departments. The
availability of state-of-the-art equipments and the provision
of a desk staffed by trained, dedicated nurses, attendants
and fulltime doctors at each floor vouch for the equal importance attached to each patient.
Running a hospital of this size smoothly and
efficiently, calls for fine-tuned,
administrative systems and procedures.
The dedicated Administration Department pitches in with its
round-the-clock support as an able complement to the Medical
Team making MIOT not only a Doctor's dream but also a Patient's
Dream. It is not surprising that this facet of this hospital
draws even patients with minor ailments to MIOT. In order
to deliver effectively the twin objectives of Medical Governance
and Corporate Governance, the Board of Directors at MIOT has
a balanced composition of members drawn from the field of
medicine as well as from administration.
