Apollo Hospitals, Greams Road, Chennai

Apollo Hospitals, Greams Road is the Apollo Group’s flagship hospital in Chennai. Established in 1983, it is located at 21 Greams Lane, off Greams Road. The hospital describes a broad clinical organisation with more than 60 departments rather than a narrow single-specialty model.

Its department directory includes cardiology, cardio-thoracic surgery, critical care, emergency medicine, gastroenterology, haematology, nephrology, neurology, nuclear medicine, orthopaedic surgery, radiology and imaging, respiratory medicine, reproductive medicine, rheumatology, thoracic surgery, vascular surgery and urology. Centres listed for the Greams Road campus also cover cancer care, spine, colorectal surgery, liver sciences, transplantation, bariatric surgery, sports medicine, paediatrics and robotic surgery. The hospital’s doctor directory shows that its neuroscience service includes neurology, neurosurgery and spine specialists attached to this branch.

Clinical work is supported by imaging, laboratory medicine, nuclear medicine, critical care and surgical departments within the same hospital. This structure allows a patient with a complex diagnosis to move between physicians, surgeons, radiologists and intensive-care teams without changing institutions. The branch page also identifies dedicated sections for facilities, departments and centres of excellence, while emergency support is available through Apollo’s 1066 service.

The hospital may be relevant for patients who need multidisciplinary assessment in Chennai, including people with heart disease, neurological or spinal conditions, kidney disease, cancer, gastrointestinal or liver disorders, and major orthopaedic problems. Its long operating history and wide department list also make it suitable for cases in which the diagnosis is uncertain or several specialties must contribute to treatment planning. Patients seeking a specific procedure should confirm that it is performed at the Greams Road branch, since Apollo operates several hospitals and specialist centres across Chennai.
