Gleneagles Global Health City at Perumbakkam specializes in certain areas.

• Heart and lungs transplantation.

Global Health specialists have performed more than two hundred successful heart and lungs transplants. Physicians work with complex cases of heart failure where conservative treatments have failed. Surgeons perform operations using a heart-lung machine. The total duration of the operation is an average of 5 hours.

Lung transplantation is mainly needed for severe pulmonary and cystic fibrosis.

Hospital’s doctors have been carrying out such surgeries for many years.

Kidney transplantation is necessary in the later stages of the development of cancerous tumors of the organ, hyperthermia of a malignant nature and chronic renal ailments. The doctors also perform combined kidneys and heart operations.
