MIOT was founded in 1999 by Padmashri winner Prof Dr PVA Mohandas, with the vision of building a world class hospital in India. Starting out as a hospital specialising in Orthopaedics and Trauma, it quickly grew into a premier multi-specialty hospital, continuously adding new departments that collaborate in the treatment of complex cases. From diagnostic scans and computer navigation to miniaturised instruments, the hospital has invested heavily in the latest technology, resulting in precise diagnoses, minimally invasive treatments and faster recovery periods. Says Mallika Mohandas, Chairman of MIOT, “We strive to surround our patients with compassion and dignity and to touch each mind, body and spirit with caring hands – this is the task we have set ourselves. This is our life’s work.”
The hospital has been credited with breakthroughs in orthopaedics, pinhole and keyhole surgeries, nephrology and cardiology. It pioneered Computer Navigated Total Knee Replacement and actively researches joint replacement techniques and materials that ensure zero error and longevity, as part of the Joint for Life programmeRecognising the need for joints customised to the Indian anatomy, it is developing technically advanced and economical joints, a first in India’s medical history.
