Apollo Speciality Hospitals, Teynampet, Chennai

Apollo Speciality Hospitals, Teynampet is a 300-bed hospital on Anna Salai in Chennai. The site began as a cancer-focused facility in 1993 and has since expanded into a multispeciality hospital. Apollo states that 51 of its beds are dedicated to critical care. Current departments include oncology, cardiac sciences, neurology, gastroenterology, pulmonology, spine surgery, orthopaedics, urology, internal medicine and critical care.

Cancer treatment remains a major part of the clinical profile. The hospital lists chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, CAR-T cell therapy, bone marrow transplantation, robotic cancer surgery, HIPEC, IMRT, IGRT and SBRT. Cardiac teams perform coronary angiography, angioplasty, CABG, TAVR/TAVI, rhythm procedures and valve surgery. General surgical services include laparoscopic gallbladder and hernia operations, colorectal procedures and selected vascular operations, while pulmonology uses bronchoscopy for diagnostic and therapeutic work.

Infrastructure described for Teynampet includes five operating theatres, a cardiac catheterisation laboratory, a bronchoscopy suite and a sleep laboratory. Apollo also states that stroke care is available around the clock. Critical-care capacity is integrated with the operating and diagnostic areas, giving medical and surgical teams access to higher-acuity monitoring when required after major procedures or during acute deterioration.

The hospital may suit patients who need combined cancer treatment, cardiac intervention, neurological assessment, pulmonary procedures or gastrointestinal surgery in Chennai. It is also relevant when treatment involves more than one specialty, such as a cancer patient with cardiac or respiratory disease, because oncology sits within a broader hospital rather than a stand-alone outpatient centre.
