Apollo Hospitals in Chennai has successfully completed over 50 liver transplants under the Chief Minister’s Comprehensive Health Insurance Scheme (CMCHIS). This achievement has benefited patients from underserved socio-economic groups across Tamil Nadu. The hospital recently felicitated patients who underwent the procedure, highlighting the importance of CMCHIS in making high-end transplant care accessible to all.
According to Health Minister Ma. Subramanian, this milestone underscores the role of public-private partnerships in extending advanced medical care to all sections of society. He emphasized the significance of “care for all” and appreciated the collaboration between the government and private hospitals like Apollo.
Sindoori Reddy, Director of Strategy at Apollo Hospitals Group, stated that the CMCHIS has been a lifeline for patients from socio-economically challenged backgrounds, enabling them to access complex and high-cost procedures like liver transplantation. She reaffirmed Apollo’s commitment to providing world-class healthcare to every individual, regardless of their background.
The hospital’s Head of Liver Diseases and Transplantation Institute, Elankumaran K., noted that the consistently high success rates, even in complex cases, reflect the hospital’s dedication to excellence and innovation in transplant care. The success of the liver transplant program at Apollo Hospitals is attributed to the combination of Tamil Nadu’s robust organ donation framework and the hospital’s clinical expertise and multidisciplinary approach to transplant care.
The completion of over 50 liver transplants under CMCHIS is a significant achievement, demonstrating the effectiveness of the scheme in providing access to advanced medical care for underserved populations. The partnership between the government and Apollo Hospitals has made a substantial impact on the lives of patients and their families, and it is expected to continue making a difference in the healthcare landscape of Tamil Nadu.
