JCI and NABH accredited, SIMS Hospital operates 345 beds at its Vadapalani campus and serves a substantial international patient population, particularly from the Gulf states and East Africa, who travel to Chennai for high-quality, affordable healthcare.
SIMS Hospital's cardiac programme has been one of its flagship departments for over two decades. The cardiac surgery unit performs the full spectrum of cardiac operations — CABG, valve surgery, aortic procedures, congenital heart disease repair, and cardiac tumour surgery — supported by a high-volume interventional cardiology laboratory with capability for complex coronary interventions, structural heart procedures (TAVR, ASD closure), and cardiac electrophysiology.
The hospital's transplant programme covers kidney, liver, and bone marrow transplantation, managed by a multidisciplinary team with dedicated transplant surgeons, hepatologists, nephrologists, and transplant coordinators. Neurosciences encompasses the management of brain tumours, stroke, cerebrovascular disease, epilepsy, and complex spinal conditions including deformity correction and tumour surgery. Orthopaedics at SIMS covers primary and revision joint replacement, sports medicine, and minimally invasive spine surgery.
Chennai itself is a major destination for international medical tourism — with a concentration of high-quality hospitals, competitive costs, and a well-developed international patient services infrastructure across the city. Chennai's international airport has direct connections from across the Gulf, Africa, and Southeast Asia.
