Padmashri Prof. Dr. P. V. A. Mohandas started the Madras Institute of Orthopaedics and Traumatology (M.I.O.T) on 12 February, 1999, as a 70-bed hospital, with full-time doctors, focussed primarily on Orthopaedics and Trauma Care. It was soon apparent that some of the trauma patients, often brought there in a critical condition, came with pre-existing conditions involving the heart, kidneys, etc. In order to stabilise and deliver complete end-to-end care to these patients, these pre existing conditions had to be managed along with providing trauma care. In other cases, patients were brought in with injuries to their organs. Treating such conditions called for the expertise of specialists. Given the nature of trauma care, it was important to have full-time specialists so that the right care could be delivered on time.
Thus MIOT Hospitals / International came to be.
With the addition of more specialities to address key health areas, and investment in the latest medical technology and the best talent, we are, today, able to deliver collaborative, multi-speciality care.
MIOT International has been on the forefront of several medical innovations and breakthroughs, most notably in orthopaedics. Indeed, it was Padmashri Prof. Dr. P. V. A. Mohandas who performed the first hip-replacement surgery in India.
As MIOT grew into a full-fledged, multi-speciality institution, our skilled surgeons pioneered keyhole surgery and pinhole surgery in the country.
Kidney transplants in India took on a new dimension when India’s first kidney transplant across blood groups was performed at MIOT.
Most recently, our super-specialists performed the first haplo-identical bone marrow transplant – a revolutionary bone marrow procedure – in India. MIOT International has, thereby, opened the doors to thousands of patients with blood cancer who have been waiting endlessly for a perfect match.
MIOT International is also a leading centre for orthopaedic research and stem cell research.
