What MIOT International does

MIOT International is a 1,000-bed super specialty quaternary care hospital headquartered in Chennai, India, founded in 1999 by Padmashri Prof. Dr. P. V. A. Mohandas as the Madras Institute of Orthopaedics and Traumatology. The hospital operates 63 medical and surgical specialties across five Centers of Excellence (Orthopaedics, Cardiac Care, Gastrointestinal and Liver Diseases, Nephrology, and Cancer Cure), supported by 21 operation theatres, advanced diagnostic infrastructure (3T MRI, 64-slice PET CT, BodyTom Mobile CT, Biplane CathLab, TrueBeam STx radiotherapy), and a 6,000 sq. ft laboratory ranked 8th internationally. All 3,500 staff are full-time employees, a model the hospital claims is unique in India, and the institution reports a 0.02% infection rate, the lowest in the country.

The business model is direct-to-patient professional services delivery: patients receive individualized treatment plans with pricing determined post-evaluation, paid on a pay-as-you-go basis. Revenue is generated from a global patient base across 130+ countries, with a dedicated International Patient Care division providing end-to-end logistics (visa, airport transfers, accommodation, interpretation, post-treatment follow-up) and an international insurance partnership network covering 13+ countries acting as referral channels. Distribution is direct through the single Chennai campus plus a telemedicine channel for remote consultations.

The company has pioneered multiple clinical firsts in India, including the first hip replacement (1999), first kidney transplant across blood groups (in partnership with Tokyo Women's University, 2010), and first haplo-identical bone marrow transplant (2013). MIOT is privately held by the Mohandas family with no external institutional investment, has received NABH, NABL, and in 2025 IASIOS accreditations, and has been recognized six times with the Government of India's FIEO Award for medical tourism excellence.
