Summary:
What you see now is a super-specialty tertiary care hospital,” says Dr Ramesh Thanikachalam, MD of Melmaruvathur Adhiparasakthi Institute of Medical Science and Research (MAPIMS). Located on NH-45, en route Kanchipuram, this massive, five-storied hospital is hard to miss and has been immensely contributing to medical care of the underprivileged in rural areas. After 10 years of service, in 1995, the clinic was developed into a hospital with 300 beds. The general physician was the first post-graduate doctor to join the hospital and admit the first in-patient. In 2000, 50 out-patient departments, ICU, operation theatre, cash departments, and other services were started at the hospital..
