Dr. Vanchilingam Hospital
in Thanjavur is a 50-bedded tertiary care center which boasts of a 16 bedded ICU dedicated for speciality Stroke and Neurology care and the first hospital in the district to have an MRI scanner and a Cath Lab. The Hospital is powered by a dedicated team of experienced and skilled physicians, nurses and healthcare professionals, led by Dr. Somesh Vanchilingam, the first Interventional Neurologist of Tamilnadu.
The hospital has treated over a million people who have been affected by Neurological challenges. Our founder Late Prof. Dr. Vanchilingam while practising, had the vision to make healthcare accessible to the common man. The result of which was KSDC (Karthik scan and Diagnostics Center) established in the year 1996, in Thanjavur, providing patients with the latest diagnostic facilities available then. From there on, it was a natural progression in creating Dr. Vanchilingam Hospital that has grown to be a distinguished speciality Neurology Hospital serving patients across India and overseas.
Ever since our inception, we have always set the benchmark in the quality of patient care by providing rapid assessment, intervention and treatment for numerous common and complex Neurological conditions. Furthermore, we were the first to provide complete Neuro diagnosis and treatment under one roof within 24 hours of consultation.
