About the Health Information

• Some milestones are measured in years. Others are measured in lives.

  This year, MGM Healthcare successfully completes 7 years of serving Chennai – and by both measures, the journey has been extraordinary. What opened in 2019 as a single multi-speciality hospital on Nelson Manickam Road has grown into one of Chennai’s most trusted healthcare networks, with three centres spread across three locations in the city – MGM Healthcare in Aminjikarai, MGM Cancer Institute, and MGM Malar in Adyar- each bringing world-class care closer to the people who need it.

  Seven years, three centres, more than five lakh patients treated. This is the story of how it happened – and why the best is still ahead.

The Beginning: One Hospital, One Bold Promise

• In 2019, MGM Healthcare opened its doors in the heart of Chennai with a promise that sounded simple but demanded everything: improving life through outstanding healthcare.

  The flagship hospital was built as a 400-bed quaternary care multi-speciality facility – designed from the ground up around the patient rather than around departments. Advanced medical technology, next-generation digital systems, and a green, sustainable campus were all part of the plan. But the real foundation was a philosophy the hospital calls “healthcaring” – the belief that world-class expertise means little without kindness, and that the patient must be at the core of everything.

  Chennai responded. Within its first years, MGM Healthcare became a referral destination for some of medicine’s most complex challenges – and a name families across Tamil Nadu began to trust.

7 Years in Numbers: A Journey Written in Lives

• Seven years later, the milestones speak for themselves:

  • 5,00,000+ patients treated across the network
  • 50,000+ surgical interventions performed
  • 700+ multi-organ transplants – heart, lung, liver, kidney and multi-visceral – making MGM one of India’s leading organ transplant hospitals
  • 25,000+ emergencies attended through 24/7 emergency and trauma care
  • 250+ expert specialists across dedicated Centres of Excellence
  • 3 centres across Chennai – with a fourth opening soon in Alwarpet

  Behind every one of these numbers is a human story: a father who received a new heart, a mother who beat cancer, a child treated in the NICU, a family that reached the emergency room in time. That is what seven years truly means.

Three Centres, Three Locations - One Standard of Care Across Chennai

• The most visible sign of MGM Healthcare’s growth is its presence across the city. Today, no matter where you live in Chennai, an MGM centre is within reach.

  1. MGM Healthcare, Aminjikarai – The Flagship

  The 400-bed quaternary care mother institution on Nelson Manickam Road remains the heart of the network. Home to 250+ specialists and Centres of Excellence in cardiac sciences, heart and lung transplant, liver transplant and HPB surgery, gastro sciences, neurosciences, orthopaedics, renal sciences, women’s health, paediatrics and more – this is where Chennai’s most complex cases find answers. From robotic-assisted surgery and advanced IVF care to a 24/7 Level 1 trauma-capable emergency department, the flagship delivers advanced healthcare in Chennai under one roof.

  2. MGM Cancer Institute – Dedicated Cancer Care

  Cancer deserves more than a department – it deserves an institution. The MGM Cancer Institute is a 150-bed dedicated cancer hospital in Chennai, bringing surgical oncology, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy and HIPEC together with precision diagnostics and protocol-driven care. Just as importantly, it treats the fear of cancer alongside the disease – through routine counselling, mobile-based follow-up, and the Swasam patient support group. Its guiding belief says it all: cancer ends, life happens.

  3. MGM Malar, Adyar – Trusted Care in South Chennai

  When Malar Hospital – an Adyar institution with a 30-year legacy – joined the network as MGM Malar, South Chennai gained the best of both worlds: decades of neighbourhood trust, now backed by MGM’s clinical depth and technology. With 150+ experienced consultants, dedicated ICU beds, advanced robotic knee replacement, cardiac care, organ transplant capability and round-the-clock emergency services, MGM Malar has delivered some of the network’s most moving patient stories – from a life-saving liver transplant on an 8-month-old infant to the recovery of a college student who arrived after a near-drowning with the slimmest chance of survival.

  And the Journey Continues: Alwarpet Opening Soon

  As MGM completes 7 years, a new chapter is already beginning – a fourth Chennai facility on St. Mary’s Road, Alwarpet, bringing world-class healthcare even closer to the city’s families. Beyond Chennai, the network extends to MGM SevenHills in Visakhapatnam, carrying the same standard of care to Andhra Pradesh.

What Made MGM Chennai's Best: 7 Pillars of the Journey

• 1. Leadership in organ transplantation. With 700+ multi-organ transplants and dedicated institutes for heart-lung, liver and multi-visceral transplantation, MGM gave patients with end-stage organ failure real hope – close to home.

  2. Comprehensive cancer care. A dedicated 150-bed cancer institute means every stage of the cancer journey – screening, diagnosis, treatment, recovery, support – happens under one coordinated roof.

  3. Emergency care that never sleeps. 24/7 emergency and trauma readiness across all three Chennai centres, with 25,000+ emergencies attended – because in a crisis, minutes decide outcomes.

  4. Multidisciplinary medical excellence. Complex cases are reviewed by teams, not individuals. Cardiologists, oncologists, surgeons and intensivists plan together – which is how a stage 4 cancer patient with nine liver tumours underwent a single, meticulously 3D-planned surgery instead of many.

  5. Technology with a human touch. Robotic-assisted surgery, AI-enabled diagnostics, advanced imaging and digital patient portals – always in service of shorter recoveries, safer procedures and clearer answers.

  6. Patient safety and quality standards. NABH-accredited systems, rigorous infection control and protocol-driven evaluation make safety a daily practice, not a poster on the wall.

  7. Care that reaches everyone. Preventive health packages, online video consultations, second opinions, and dedicated international patient services for families from across India and over the world.

The People Behind the Milestone

• Hospitals don’t complete seven years – people do. This milestone belongs to the surgeons who took on cases others declined, the nurses who held hands at 3 a.m., the emergency teams who never once closed their doors, the support staff who kept three centres running every single day – and to the patients and families of Chennai, whose trust turned a new hospital into the city’s most trusted healthcare network.

The Vision Ahead: The Next 7 Years

• The first seven years were about building – infrastructure, expertise, trust, and a network of three centres across Chennai. The next seven are about going further: the new Alwarpet facility, deeper investment in robotic surgery and precision medicine, smarter digital care, and the same unchanged promise made in 2019 – you deserve the best of care, and you are at the core of everything we do.

  Seven years down. A lifetime of healthcaring to go. Thank you, Chennai.
