GEM Hospital was one of the pioneers in the speciality, having established South India’s laparoscopic surgical unit in 1991 and India’s laparoscopic and surgical gastroenterology institute in 2001 at Coimbatore, a fast emerging medical hub in the region. Established by Dr C. Palanivelu, the hospital now has a presence in other prominent cities across south India, namely Chennai, Erode, Tirupur and Thrissur, to cater to the ever-increasing demand for quality medical care. Today, GEM Hospital is one of the most advanced tertiary healthcare centres in the field of Gastroenterology and Laparoscopic Surgery.GEM Hospital, with its pioneering work, has evolved to be one of the first and the few centres in India with subspecialties in Bariatric, Hepatobiliary, Colorectal, Upper GI, Gastrointestinal cancer surgery, Endogynaecology, Scarless Surgery, Liver Transplantation, etc. It also has NABH recognition for excellence in medical services.
Surgical excellence can be achieved only when it is passed on. This forms the crux of Chairman Dr C. Palanivelu’s beliefs.
