MIOT Celebrates 15th Founders Day

MIOT International celebrates Founders Day marking the 15th anniversary of the reception of its selfless service to all those needy across the globe. Luminaries from various paths of trade and hearts of all thankful souls shall join in this commemoration of 15 years of service with dedication and dignity.

Started in 1999 as a 100 bedded hospital, MIOT International had grown with time to stand as an imposing structure of 1000 bedded multispeciality hospital, the virtual brainchild of Dr. P.V.A. Mohandas. He left no stone unturned, no expense spared until in February 1999 MIOT opened its doors to the public. Travelling the journey of 15 years receiving thankful notes from people across 129 countries, MIOT had always stayed class apart with the most advanced technologies and unconditional care towards the patients.

This Founders Day will be graced by Mr. Rollen Dany Antoine Faure, Vice President of Seychelles as our Chief Guest, who is on a visit to MIOT

International to meet the citizens of Seychelles who are on treatment in the facility. As we celebrate our legacy, success and power as a leading medical institution in the country, the limelight of this event will be handing over the cheque to Mahesh Memorial Trust amounting Rs.10 Lakhs raised through Carewalk initiative to treat poor children suffering from cancer free of cost.

Carewalk Initiative

Carewalk, a Cancer awareness initiative conceptualized by IBHI (Indo-British Health Initiative) kick started on 4th August, 2013. The motive of the campaign was to create awareness amongst public regarding cancer and communicate a clear message that there is no more a reason to fear Cancer. Cancer is Curable if detected early and if expert treatment is offered, subjective to individual body response and health conditions. During the walk the message on responsibility to be borne by every individual to suspect any abnormality and take it to the immediate attention of concerned specialist in healthcare was also emphasized. The message was spread through word-of-mouth and pamphlets.
