Dr. Vanchilingam Hospital
in Thanjavur is a 50-bedded tertiary care center that features a 16-bedded ICU dedicated to specialized Stroke and Neurology care. It proudly stands as the first hospital in the district equipped with an MRI scanner and a Cath Lab. The hospital is supported by a dedicated team of experienced and skilled physicians, nurses, and healthcare professionals, led by Dr. Somesh Vanchilingam, the first Interventional Neurologist in Tamil Nadu.
The hospital has provided care to over a million individuals facing neurological challenges. Our founder, Late Prof. Dr. Vanchilingam, envisioned making healthcare accessible to the common man. This vision materialized in the establishment of KSDC (Karthik Scan and Diagnostics Center) in 1996 in Thanjavur, offering patients the latest diagnostic facilities of that time. This marked the beginning of the journey that led to the creation of Dr. Vanchilingam Hospital, evolving into a distinguished specialty Neurology Hospital serving patients across India and overseas.
Since our inception, we have consistently set the benchmark for the quality of patient care. We take pride in providing rapid assessment, intervention, and treatment for numerous common and complex neurological conditions. Additionally, we were pioneers in offering complete neurological diagnosis and treatment under one roof within 24 hours of consultation.
