Every aspect of our campus reflects an ethos of healing, from the city tallest vertical garden to the use of music therapy in critical care areas to thematic art galleries on each floor celebrating various facets of Tamil Nadu.

The ground-plus-11-floor MGM Healthcare facility is also optimally designed to provide a comforting ambience, which holistically incorporates energy-efficient practices to further widen the scope of the health-caring concept to include environmental sustainability. We are the first USGBC LEED Platinum-certified Green Hospital in South India as we consume one-third the energy and water when compared to other buildings of this scale.

 

MGM Healthcare, a 400-bedded quaternary care hospital in the heart of the city, proudly introduces its Institute of Heart and Lung Transplant and Mechanical Circulatory Support. Spearheaded by India s leading heart and lung transplant surgeon Dr K R Balakrishnan as its Director, the institute has been set-up with the vision to utilise the latest in technology, innovation and medical protocols to give people in heart failure a new lease of life.

With over 30 years of interest, experience and continued research in end-stage heart failure management (heart transplant & mechanical circulatory support devices), paediatric cardiac surgery, congestive heart failure and lung transplant, India s heart and lung transplant programme has been pioneered by Dr Balakrishnan. The advanced technology, infrastructure and equipment available at MGM Healthcare, combined with skilled physicians and surgeons, provides improved diagnosis, care, treatment and outcomes.

From the successful use of ECMO, a machine that provides cardiac and pulmonary support to a person in end-stage heart and lung failure, as a bridge to heart transplant in 2012 to India s first successful HVAD implant surgery performed on a 42-year-old with end-stage heart failure to the first paediatric heart transplant on a 2-year-old, Dr K R Balakrishnan and his team of highly skilled physicians and surgeons have performed many firsts for India.

In an integrated manner, MGM Healthcares expert team of cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, cardiac anaesthesiologists, critical care physicians and rehab specialists care for patients with advanced heart failure, congenital heart disease, cardiomyopathy and other conditions at our Institute of Heart and Lung Transplant and Mechanical Circulatory Support.
