Chairman’s Report Embarking on the path of significant growth… It is with great pleasure that I present Meenakshi Mission Hospital and Research Centre's 2007-2008 Annual Report, recapping a year of exemplary patient care services as we mark the 19th Anniversary of MMHRC listing it in the top Indian Hospital rankings. Our experience has provided us with a solid foundation to anticipate the needs of our patients and community and we have continued to deliver a range of services to meet the public demand. Quality care has always been and will always be our main focus. Yet we recognize there is no room for complacency if we are to meet the patient expectations in terms of clinical excellence, ambience, respect and dignity during treatment. This year, successful amalgamation of all our wings with advanced technology and expertise has produced a major presence in the health sector especially in management of patients. Plans to bolster long term sustainability by increase in beds, speciality care services, new technology, telemedicine, and community outreach activities would surely be the prudent steps in programme extension, generate significant efficiencies and assist our ability to offer more streamlined care. The year also marked the beginning of new achievements. Patients, staff and community at large have played a role in helping us shape our approach. While continuing the legacy of holistic care for our patients, we are obliged to deliver quality service, development of our information management systems to support medical, clinical and hospital management; to remain environmentally aware and to promote health and well being at community level. Due to the successful journey all through these years of service, over and above the excellence in medical care and clinical research, our commitment to achieve our mission - to serve the poor and needy through our innumerable charity services made our hospital receive Modern Medicare Award for “Social Responsibility Initiative of the year 2007” from GE for its comprehensive work in extending its exceptional service to the People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHAs). Still the journey by the Smile Train Regional Centre continues in treating persons with cleft lip/palate with over 3900 surgeries by an able team of medical professionals to facilitate a cleft free society. Medical grants and Mobile CT Ambulance from Direct Relief International, USA has paved way for successful working model of Telemedicine, which self propagates throughout India and into the developing world. It will provide a channel for continuous access to the most sophisticated medical support systems, at all times and shall improve patient care, enhance medical training, standardize Clinical practice, stabilize costs and invite clinicians worldwide. Throughout the year, the board was guided by Trust governance principles to ensure, that we meet our obligations while assessing our performance and our role in the community. Our position as a leading health care provider brings with it the responsibility to lay the foundation for the future to continue the same, by inviting expert surgeons in different disciplines from the Smile Train USA for its “ Medical Exchange Programme” to serve in our centre. We could not have achieved so much without the dedication of our board, medical specialists, nurses and other staff. I take this opportunity to acknowledge all our loyal donors, corporate partners, volunteers, officials, government institutions, and academic institutions in giving helping hands for our success. We pay tribute to their tireless efforts in the face of an ever-changing environment. They are the spirit of our organization and I am grateful for their dedication. I conclude with the personal word of appreciation to all- “The best of all is, God is with us!”

Dr. N. Sethuraman Founder Chairman

Vice Chairman’s Report Dear Friends, I am very pleased to report that 2007-2008 was another year of continued growth and strong performance for Meenakshi Mission Hospital and Research Centre. Our commitment to the hospital is the guarantee of quality and we are proud of the changes that have been brought about by MMHRC team. Along with the commitment of all of our medical colleagues and the great team of people, MMHRC will continue to meet and exceed standards required by the Health care providers and the Indian Council on Healthcare Standards to achieve our stated goal of making MMHRC the best. The patient occupancy rate was above 95% over the year. We have successfully completed 'D wing' project, which ensures more patient flow and bed occupancy with streamlined efficacy and still we are in expansion of our building. When we consider the strong fundamentals of Indian private hospital industry, MMHRC's pipeline of expansion projects and quality in patient care delivery systems at home and abroad has very well positioned it for future growth. Proudly we can say that our lab is on par with International standards. We strive hard to get 5 S certification for quality maintenance. This year is the tremendous year for MMHRC performance. The 21st National Convention on Quality Circles at Kolkata has awarded our hospital for QCFI – Canara Bank Award – 2007 for Service Sector Organization, Excellent Award for 'ROSE QC', Distinguished Award for 'GEM QC. It is my pleasure to say that MMHRC is under NGO accreditation from “The Credibility Alliance”. We are in the process of obtaining “NABH“ certification. In the fiscal year 2008, we expect new projects, services and specialists, equipments & technology, ambience and service quality and continue to prove well to deliver growth and earnings progressively toward the end of the year and beyond. The skilled nurses, technologists and administrators at MMHRC, aided by state-of-the-art equipment provide a congenial infrastructure for the medical professionals in providing health care of International Standards. Looking ahead, I am optimistic and excited about MMHRC's future. Our growth potential is underpinned by very strong industry fundamentals, led by growing private health insurance, an ageing population and high quality suite of assets. Over the coming year, the hospital will continue to invest in growth and additional acquisition opportunities in the private hospital sector, as well as actively explore ways to leverage our management expertise in related markets within wider health care environment. The success and eminence of MMHRC began as the dream of one man extended to be transformed into the dream of many. We strive to accomplish our dreams and goals to bring greater effulgence in the future. I would like to thank our doctors, our employees, bankers, suppliers and all our stakeholders for their hard work and commitment and their ongoing support to achieve our Vision : “ No man is too poor to afford first grade medical treatment”.

Introduction The Department continuous to be leading urology department in South Tamilnadu under the stewardship of Dr. T.R. Murali who has completed eighteen years of service. At MMHRC, we do all sub specialities of urology in this department including laparoscopic urology.

Laparoscopic Urology Laparoscopic Urology is the “standard of care” for several urological procedures at MMHRC, like adult pyeloplasties, simple and radical nephrectomies, vesicovaginal fistula and so on. Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy for the left kidney is standard practice with no difference in outcome as a early or late graft function is concerned. Laparoscopic adrenalectomy, now the “Standard of care” has included adreno cortical carcinomas as well, less than 6cm in size, both on the left and right sides.

Andrology Andrology is a popular service with an increasing patient-to-patient referra l thus sign ifying full satisfaction among patients. Counselling for patients with sexual myths and misconceptions and problem s continues to be the forte of the department. Andrology camps conducted once in three months are extremely popular and are used for public interaction.

Urology Camps Urology camps conducted once a month both in the hospital and chosen places outside. More than thousand patients were benefitted from such camps with subsidized costs in treatment.

Urolithiasis and Endourology PCNL for complex renal stones is standard practice with minimal morbidity and full clearance. More than fifty such procedures were done in the last year. The blood transfusion rate is less than 10%. Ureterorenoscopy both flexible and rigid are the most common endourological procedures for ureteric stones at all levels with laser lithotripsy able to tackle calyceal stones as well. Flexible outpatient check cystoscopy for bladder tumor surveillance is being introduced as day care surgery.

Andrology and Urology 4

Educational activities of the department flourish with four CME's called the “Uro spice” for general practitioners were held over the year. The strength of DNB postgraduates has gone up from one to two. The first lady postgraduate in Urology was taken in July 2007. Standardization of Laser enucleation of prostate is the goal of the department for 2008.

Cardiac Anaesthesiology CCardiac

surgery is a high risk and complex

field of medicine with significant morbidity and mortality. Quality anaesthetic care with special attention can greatly enhance patient safety. Cardiac anaesthesia is inextricably intertwined with cardiac surgery and has mainly evolved in the last 50 years. It has grown into a largest and most influential sub-speciality of Anaesthesiology.

Introduction

Remarkable progress has been made in Cardiac Surgery in the last eight years and paved way for innovations in Cardiac Anaesthesia. From PA catheters and Trans-esophageal Echocardiography to Th or acic Epi du rals ena bl ing fast-track anaesthesia for Beating heart surgery, anaesthesiologists have kept pace with all the advancements in cardiac surgery by constantly re-inventing themselves, learning new techniques and mastering new technology.

Statistics The Total Number of cases from April 2007 to March 2008 is 434. This covers the entire gamut of cardiothoracic anaesthesia including anaesthesia for Coronary Bypass surgery, Valvular heart surgery, Congenital cardiac surgery, Thoracic & Vascular surgery.

under Thoracic Epidural Anaesthesia (TEA) as the sole anaesthetic without general anaesthesia (GA). Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) in an awake patient without endotracheal general anaesthesia was first performed in October 1998 with high thoracic epidural block at Ankara, Turkey.

Awake Cardiac Surgery Over the past several years, beating heart surgery has been accepted as one of the modes of surgical treatment in ischaemic heart disease. In an attempt to further simplify and decrease the “invasiveness” of this procedure, performing this operation without endotracheal general anesthesia is deemed feasible in certain subsets of patients. There are reports about an alternative anaesthetic technique by performing Conscious Off pump Coronary Artery Bypass (COPCAB) – Beating heart CABG operations

The technique of high thoracic epidural anaesthesia is a highly precision based methodology involving calculated doses of local anaesthetics in the epidural space which anaesthetizes only the chest region, while the patient is fully awake. This enables painless surgery for patients who are at risk for general anaesthesia.

Elimination of GA and attendant complication enab les the ver y ear ly and effect ive mobilization of the patients.

Activities A host of academic activities form part of the calendar and ensures that the team is kept abreast of the latest developments in anaesthesia.

Facilities A well-equipped theatre with an invasive multi - channel monitor including monitoring of ETCO and Cardiac Output. Nine -bed ICU with multichannel monitors, latest Ventilators, and IABP machines. A dedicated, well-trained staff offering individual care.

An anaesthesiologist is always available round-the-clock to assure adequate post operative care of the cardiac patient.

A dedicated Cardiac Rehabilitation team (includes a dietician and a physiotherapist) which takes care of the rehabilitative needs of the patient. The first successful Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery under Thoracic Epidural Anaesthesia (TEA) was performed in our hospital in August 2006. It also happens to be the first successful awake CABG in the state of Tamil Nadu.

Actively participated as Faculty in Cardiac Anaesthesia Update 2007 in December 2007 in Chennai. Actively participated and presented a paper on Ru ptured Sinus of Va lsalva-anaesthetic management in the National Conference of Indian Society of anesthesiologist in Mysore in December 2007. Actively participated in the National Conference of Indian Association of cardiac anesthesiology in Ahmedabad in February 2008.

The Future â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible.â&#x20AC;? - Arthur C. Clarke

Looming large on the horizon are the prospects of Heart Transplantations and Key-hole Robotic Cardi ac surgeri es. As we march on, trying to set new standards in cardiac care, we seek your blessings and those of the Almighty in the realisation of our dreams.

Cardio Thoracic and Vascular Surgery

TThe year 2007-2008 has been a very remarkable year for us. We have to our credit, a record number of cases done in an year apart from many firs ts not only in our institu tion but also in India.

Introduction

We have successfully conducted many cases which hav e bee n con ducted only by our institu tion which adds credits to us.

Statistics The total number of cases done for the year 2007-2008 is 434 aged from 2 months to 72 yrs. This covers the entire gamut of cardiothoracic surgeries including Coronary Bypass surgery, Valvular heart surgery, congenital cardiac surgery and Thoracic and vascular surgery. In Coronary Revascularisation surgery, the main emphasis is on Beating Heart CABG because this is a new and exciting development in the field with significant reduction in morbidity and cost. We emphasize on total arterial revascularisation to achieve better patency rate of the grafts. We undertake all high-risk cases like those with low ejection fraction, ventricular aneurysm, concomitant carotid stenosis and ischemic mitral regurgitation.

1.5% mortality has been achieved by our hospital in equal to the international results. Our mortality for elective operations is less than1%. Even in Emergency operations performed In patients in Cardiogenic shock, we have obtained good results. We are one of the few units in the country offering Endoscopic Vein Harvesting Technology to our patients at affordable cost.

Facilities An exclusive Operation theatre is dedicated to Cardiothoracic surgery with state-of- the- art facility, seam-less stainless steel cladding of the walls, Laminar airflow and a separate Air-handling Unit. All these things will help to reduce the infection rate to zero. There is a ten-bed ICU with all the latest gadgets available in the most developed centers in India. We have 3 Intra-aortic balloon Pum ps to salva ge pa tien ts with Myocardial Infarction in Cardiogenic shock. An Endoscopic Tower has been pr oc ur ed for End os cop ic Ve in harvesting.

Academic Activities The department has not lagged behind in Academic activities. Every year Continuing Medical Education Programme is being organized to educate our fraternity about the latest developments in this field. The fifth successive CME was conducted on 15th March 2008. 300 doctors attended. In Valvular heart disease, apart from routine valve replac ement, valve repair and Atri al Fibrillation ablation (Maze Operation) are also bei ng done. In Congeni tal hear t sur ger y, the common operations like ASD, VSD and PDA are being done routinely. We have also performed high-risk complex operations like Total Correction of Tetrology of Fallot. In keeping with the latest trends in surgery, minimally invasive techniques are bein g increa singly applied.

We have published the following Midterm results of off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery in Indian patients. The internet journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery 2007 Vol 11; No: Early experience of endoscopic vein harvesting for CABG Indian journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery 2007; 23: 188-191 Complications in atrial septal defect device closure Interact cardiovasc thoracic surgery 2008; 7: 167-169

We have so far published 10 papers from our department. As a credit to the excellent results of the department. The National Board of Examinations for the super speciality DNB program in cardio thoracic surgery has approved “MMHRC-CTVS”.

Free Heart Surgery True to our Institution's Vision that “No Man is too poor to afford first grade medical treatment” we have strived to perform FREE HEART SURGERY to twenty unfortunate children in the lowest economic strata with the immense help from “Save The Little Hearts” to mobilize funds to achieve this enormous task

The Future The future looks very encouraging. The Department of Cardiothoracic Sugery shares the dreams of our Founder Chairman to perform Heart Transplantation and Key-Hole Robotic Cardiac surgery. Total no. of Out-patients - 4284

Introduction

“Service with compassion for needy people”

Community Care Centre Mother Teresa Special Ward for People Living with HIV / AIDS

AAs a Pioneer health care institution, Meenakshi Mission Hospital and Research Centre (MMHRC) initiated a Community Care Centre by name “Mother Teresa Special Ward for PLWHAs” in the year 1997. It was a critical time where the spread was extremely high, ignorance about the disease and lack of proper medical care and support. No health institutions or hospitals were coming forward to treat the HIV persons and there were no specific health care providers to medical intervene. We are proud to say that our hospital is the First Private Hospital to provide treatment, care and support for the PLWHAs totally free of cost. This care and support service began in 1998, and provides excellent services to PLWHAs under the eminent leadership of Dr.V.N. Rajasekaran and Dr. Senthil Prabakar. The comprehensive service for PLWHAs involves medical care, counselling, home care, nutritional training & support, hotline Service, networking, recreation facilities, medication, and referral services for ART adherence and intervention with other NGOs. Since 1998,our service reached to to more than 10,000 PLWHAs. Mother Teresa Ward is a 10 bed clinic provides free IP & OP service, drugs, food, counselling, yoga, psychological support round the clock

nursing care, treatment on opportunistic infections, referral services etc. As it is situated in the core area of hospital, it eliminates the social stigma and enable them to avail the free speciality consultant care as and when needed. The Centre prov ides exceptional facilities for PLWHAs as it has following area s: Separate cubical rooms (10 bed) Consultation Room Counselling Room Video Hall Yoga Hall Library Procedure room Kitchen Laboratory Our team consists of medical Profess ionals, counsellor, nurses, out reach workers, lab tech nicians, administrative and sup portive staff.

Introduction

tumors like cancers of the breast, cervix, ovary, lung etc. Patients come to us from a very large radius due to the sustained efforts of our doctors and the paramedical team.

Medical Oncology Curative cancers are given utmost priority in the implementation of universally recommended protocols to achieve best results. Financially poor patients especially children with cancer who cannot afford curative treatment are given assistance through the Camilla Children's Cancer Fund supported by our hospital and other donors.

Procedures like Intra-thecal administration of drugs, Pleurodesis, Intra-peritoneal chemotherapy are all being carried out routinely in the department.

Monoclonal antibodies for cancers of breast, colon and lymphomas and the newer targeted molecules for example in CML, GIST and head & neck cancers are routinely used as indicated.

Palliative treatment for advanced cancers are also done which make up a good number of patients in India with late stages of disease due to various factors in a developing country. Pain control is achieved with morphine or equivalents along with other drugs as adjuvant.

We take up clinical trials with enthusiasm as they provide a window of hope for our poor patients who cannot afford those to newer drugs and gives a path for the identification of newer molecules against cancer. Clinical trials increase survival of cancer patients. We have an exclusive clinical trial room with a dedicated person for documenting purposes. The long pending need for a Bone Marrow Transplantation Unit in southern India may become a reality soon in our institution with the support of our administration. Chemosensitive tumors that have relapsed after primary treatment can be salvaged with the BMT regimens. This may also be the answer to benign hematological conditions like Aplastic anaemia, Thallasemia etc which can be cured by BMT.

Constant health education to prevent cancers is also taken up on a regular basis especially to the patient attenders.

Expert opinion from the team consisting of Surgical Oncologist, Radiation Oncologist and medical oncologist, along with Pathologist decide the treatment modality & protocol of international standards at affordable cost.

Comprehensive ophthalmology capability is enhanced now by state of the art equipments like Humphery field analyzer for glaucoma evaluation; Carl Zeiss 532 green laser for photocoagulation in retinal diseases. Both these facilities are further strengthened by state of the art Carl Zeiss digital fundus camera. The department is surgically active in anterior segment, the cataract surgery forming a bulk followed by glaucoma filtering surgery, lacrimal surgery and oculoplastic surgery All the latest developments in the cataract surgery like micro incision cataract surgery foldable Intra Ocular Lens (IOL), aberration free lenses are available here making this one of the most advanced centres practicing modern cataract surgery. Multifocal IOLs are being offered to patient, routinely now. Vitreoretinal surgery will be introduced in the current year making this one of handfull of centres with such services. Our commitment to the communities has been as strong as ever, with number of free eye camps throughout the region, scores of poor persons have been benefited from free cataract surgery performed by us. Out patient attendance registered overall growth at (25.5% growth) paying patients and (30.8% growth) free patients over the previous year. All the subcategories showed growth rates just as impressive. Surgical volume also recorded modest growth on paying patients as well as free patients.

Paediatrics and Neonatology Introduction

TThe department of paediatrics is slowly but steadily growing. As a referral centre we are providing excellent services to many complicated and referred cases.

Paediatric patients are round the

clock covered by qualified paediatrician. By our dedicati on, we have acq uired a very good reputation for diagnosing and treating all types of paediatric patients.

The general paediatrics consists of a separate emergency cum procedure room which is equipped with critical care resuscitation trolley, suction apparatus, centralized oxygen supply, incubation sets, emergency drugs, nebulizers, cardiac monitor, pulse oxymeter infusion pumps etc. The NICU is equipped with warmer and air conditioner in order to maintain a thermo neutral temperat ure. The NICU is equ ipped with mechanical ventilator (high frequency mode) neonatal trolleys, double sided photo therapy units, incubators, open care warmer system with radiant warmers, centralized oxygen supply, pulse oximeter, apnea monitor, Co2 monitor, NIBP monitor, cardiac monitor. CPAP and sufficient infusio pumps. We have transport incubator which serves to transport the babies from other hospital also. Our neonatal intensive care unit is a well known for its excellent service to preterm and sick new born babies. To avoid cross infection the unit is divided into septic and aseptic units. Importance is given for neonates. Our hospital provides surfactant therapy and ventilatory care for premature babies and RDS has placed the initial steps in providing tertiary care for very sick babies and extreme premature babies.

The outcome of premature babies treated with surfactant therapy, parental nutrition and hyper bilirubinemia treated by Exchange transfusion are well comparable with any other well-equipped tertiary care centre in our country. Ventilator care and surfactant therapy provided here has improved the survival rate of preterm babies with respiratory problems. With the help of Blood bank and free availability of blood component therapy, complicated and rare bleeding disorders, platelet disorders, thalassemia, sept icemia and Hemop hi lia are mana ged successfully. Exchange transfusions have saved many newborn with Rh hemolytic disease. Super specialties in surgery, urology and plastic surgery help us to provide best treatment to children with acute surgical and urological problems and also correction for congenital anomalies. During this year, several interesting and complicated cases and rare syndromes have also been diagnosed and treated in our department successfully. Our aim is to serve poor people for conducting free paediatric health camps every Saturday to cater the lower socio economic children. Laboratory investigations are done at concessional rate during these camp days. It also provides free immunization (BCG & OPV) on all working days.

In this year the department of pediatrics has treated 7507 out patients and 693 in patients from April 2007. The varies types of cases treated as in patients in the department of pediatrics are given below

5. For assessing the middle ear function of patients having cleft palate, we have a digital middle ear analyzer. We routinely do impedance audiometry of the patients using the machine. 6. The latest edition of the “Dr. Speech” software introduced this year makes nasalence measurements in patients very easy and helps in giving speech therapy. 7. July 2007, a Maxillofacial surgeon from Cochin came for one month's training in cleft lip and palate surgery. 8. In recognition of our centre of excellence in cleft surgery, three International doctors choose our centre to get training in cleft surgery under the Smile Train Medical Exchange Programme. Dr. Lawrence, a dental surgeon from Hawaii visited us in the month of January 2008 and underwent training. Dr. Kalish and Dr. Ad El, both senior plastic surgeons from Israel, also visited our centre to get trained. Many more doctors have already expressed their desire to visit our centre.

Plastic Surgery Cases Last year, we saw an increase in the number of general plastic surgical cases in our department. Plastic surgery is one of the specialties which deals with problems from head to foot. Plastic surgeons are also called “reconstructive surgeons” as majority of the times we are called by other departments to fix tissue defects. 1. A total number of 117 major plastic surgical procedures were done in the last one year. 2. A total number of 28 minor plastic surgical procedures were done last year. 3. A rare case of vaginal agenesis was operated and vaginoplasty done using Singapore flap.

Radiation Oncology The Radiation Oncology division offers a wide range of therapy modalities supported by a staff of noted Radiation Oncologists, physicists and technologists.

Introduction O utstanding O

Radiation Oncology care is crucial for many of our patients with cancer. Meenakshi Mission Hospital and Research Centre's (MMHRC) renowned Department of Radiation Oncology devoted to the practice of evidence-based medicine continually sets the standard by developing and incorporating the newest technologies and methods available to combat the progress of the disease thereby providing patients with the most classy radiation planning and delivery available anywhere in the world today. The attending Radiation Oncologist wants the patients relationship with MMHRC to be as proficient, cour teous , and succ es sful as pos sibl e. We support the patient to raise any questions and concerns they may have during the process of receiving Radiation treatment at MMHRC.

External Beam Radiation Therapy Used in the treatment of : Brain tumors, Gynecologic Cancers, Head & Neck, Lung, skin, Prostate, Bladder and Breast Cancer, etc., The state-of-the-art mega voltage Cobalt 60 external radiation therapy unit Theratron Phoenix by AECL. Canada has the unique feature of treating patients with rotational movements (360째) thus enabling doctors to handle complex treatment at various sites (superficial and deep seated). The dual energy Linear Accelerator (with provision for upgradability to Three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) and Intensity Modulated Radiation therapy) has the advantages of greater penetration with less amount of undesirable side effects because of higher beam energy and sharp beam characteristics.

Introduction T he T

Department of Surgical Oncology is routinely performing radical procedures in patients with head, neck, breast, gynaecological malignancies and sarcomas. We keep in pace with the recent advances in this field. All cases are planned in tumour board, which is a multidisciplinary board including Radiation and Medical Oncologist.

Surgical Oncology Recently in management of breast cancer, emphasis has been laid on breast conservation in early stages and reconstruction of breast after mastectomies for locally advanced diseases. We have been doing pedicled flap reconstructions using TRAM (Rectus abdominis) or lattismus dorsi muscle. In Gynaecological malignancies, for bulky cancers in cervix, we follow initial Intra cavitary Radiation therapy (ICRT) followe d by Werthiem's hysterectomy, which gives excellent results. In head and neck malignancies, with the availability of high speed saw, skull based surgeries have become a reality. With better understanding of the anatomy and availability of equipments, major laryngopharyngeal and oral resections have been effectively done with minimal morbidity.

With the increasing demand for cosmetic implication, reconstruction of breast need to be further emphasized. Also craniofacial and temporal bones resection are to be planned for appropriate cases. With rapid advances made in laparoscopic technique, Werthiems Hysterectomy has to be addressed laparoscopically. Breast : 68
