Coming Soon - Medanta Medicity Soft Launch, 1st Week December 2008.

Medicity Construction Underway At Gurgaon, India

Always at the leading edge of treatment + technology, Dr. Naresh Trehan also keeps people on their toes, even in times of recession. His passion is Medicity, one of India’s largest projects in multi-specialty tertiary care medical treatment – and construction is in full swing here. It is envisioned as an institute that will redefine standards of excellence in healthcare delivery by bringing together the best of infrastructure, technology, training, education and medical intelligentsia.

In 1969 Dr. Trehan was one of hundreds of Indians who went to to the United States. By the mid-1980’s was earning over $1.5 million a year as a Manhattan heart surgeon. Then he did what few Indian doctors do: he came back, prompted largely by the Indians who kept showing up on his operating table and asking why they could not get the same quality of care back home. He was driven to return, he said, by ”a certain amount of arrogance — a kind of national pride.”

‘‘I could do things better than most of my American counterparts,” he said.

He decided against practicing in an established hospital. Instead, with an industrialist backer, he founded his vision of a private heart institute and research center, The Escorts Heart Institute and Research Center and pioneered many aspects of cardiac surgery.

Today, he’s on a tryst with a new destiny with Medanta Medicity.

WHAT”s Unique about Medicity? Medicity aims to functionally integrate within one campus and one management the facilities of medical care, teaching as well as research and development. It also offers to explore the possibility of integrating knowledge of traditional and alternative medicine with modern medicine, through means of scientific research.

Medicity Views – when completed

With an investment of over $350 million, Medicity aims to create a world-class education and training centre backed by remarkable infrastructure, futuristic technology – that’s the extraordinary vision of Dr Naresh Trehan.

Medicity will offer a 1600 bed medical institute of world standards. The objective of Medicity is to bring in global healthcare delivery standards at affordable prices while firmly placing India on the international road map as premier destination for healthcare services, medical research and high-end medical diagnostics.

Besides offering the best of preventive and curative medicine, Medicity also offers to explore integrating the knowledge of traditional and alternative medicine with modern medicine, through means of scientific research.

Traditional Medical Practices

An important objective of Medicity will be to validate – and integrate with modern medical system – those medical practices in our traditional and complimentary systems of medicine such as Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha, Tibetan and tribal systems that are compatible with science.

Perhaps Dr. Trehan would agree with Isaac Disraeli who said “It is a wretched taste to be gratified with mediocrity when the excellent lies before us.”

Medical Referrals Asia has the honor of listing Dr. Trehan among its Authors and Contributors.
