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 endeavor 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.
