Speaking of 21 years of MIOT, Dr. Prithvi Mohandas said, “The hospital and every single employee reverberate with the qualities, virtues and goals instilled over the last two decades by the Founder of MIOT. One of the virtues of MIOT is punching above its weight, thinking big, and the capacity to never stop improving. This is something that is totally true of the Founder of MIOT”, Dr. Prithvi Mohandas added.

Recalling Dr. PVA Mohandas’ pioneering spirit and his belief in the importance of accident rescue, accident survival and treatment within the golden hour, the Managing Director said, “Dr. PVA Mohandas pioneered the concept of instituting live-saving head to toe treatment within the hour of the accident right here in Chennai before it was introduced to the rest of India.”
