In a significant move to enhance healthcare accessibility in Tamil Nadu's tier 2 cities, Meenakshi Mission Hospital has inaugurated its state-of-the-art Super Speciality Hospital in Madurai.
In a press statement recently, the healthcare provider informed that the new facility, located adjacent to the 1000-bed Meenakshi Mission Hospital & Research Centre (MMHRC), boasts 350 beds and cutting-edge technology, aiming to provide world-class healthcare services to a broader population.
Dr. S. Gurushankar, Chairman of Meenakshi Mission Hospitals, emphasised the strategic focus on expanding into tier 2 cities, citing both financial viability and patient convenience. "Expanding into these cities makes financial sense due to economies of scale. Additionally, patients benefit from accessing modern healthcare facilities within their towns, eliminating the need to travel long distances for treatment or follow-up care," said Dr. Gurushankar. The Madurai facility marks the third such expansion, following the Meenakshi Mission Hospital and Research Centre in Madurai and a 250-bed hospital in Thanjavur.
Dr. Ramesh Ardhanari, Medical Director of the newly opened hospital, highlighted the advanced medical technology and clinical expertise available across 50 specialties. "Our facility offers top-tier services in areas such as cardiac care, high-precision cancer diagnosis and treatment, organ transplantation, advanced neurosciences, diabetes management, minimally invasive and robotic surgery, and more. The hospital is also expected to significantly boost medical tourism in the region," he noted.
Designed to global standards, the new hospital spans over 370,000 square feet and features smart, spacious rooms with an emphasis on natural light and fresh air. The suite rooms, offering a blend of luxury and affordability, rival those of five-star hotels, complete with views of meticulously maintained terrace gardens.
