Centre of Hand Surgery, Microsurgery & Plastic Surgery - Apollo First Med Hospital Chennai

Hands are as important as eyes to the human body. Sometimes it is easy to rehabilitate a person without eyes, but it becomes difficult to rehabilitate a person with loss of both hands. In a developing economy, the role of skilled hands is of very great importance to the nation. Any loss to these skilled hands produces a chain of reactions affecting the individual, the family and the nation thereby indirectly hitting the economy of the country. 45% of the injuries to the human body are to the hands. These injured hands if not attended to immediately, will end in disaster.

Surgery of the hand is a new speciality in our country. There are hardly any organized centers across the country except one or two. For the first time in the corporate sector, The Apollo Hospitals Group has developed a 24 Hour state-of-the-art facility for comprehensive care of hand injuries at The National Institute in Hand Surgery, Microsurgery and Plastic Surgery established at the Apollo First Med Hospital in Chennai.
