Starting with an initial bed strength of
a mere 6 beds, Madras ENT Research Foundation
(MERF) has today grown
by leaps and bounds into one of the biggest
and best ENT hospitals in the country and
in this part of Asia. More than the
quantitative growth, what has been gratifying
for us has been the qualitative growth.
The institution has today facilities, which
can be the envy of many an ENT center in
the most advanced countries. Thus
MERF has been in the forefront of the Cochlear
Implant scenario in India and today has
one of the largest Cochlear Implant clinics
not only in India but the whole of South
Asia.
Auditory brain stem implantation was first
performed in South Asia at this institute.
It has also been active in introducing lasers
in the field of Otorhinolaryngology.
MERF is one of the first centers in India
to introduce the KTP/532 laser,
the most advanced ENT laser system in the
world. Today, MERF has one of the
largest series of laser operations any where
in the world. This institute has at its
disposal, state- of- the- art facilities
in the field of Ear, Nose, Throat
& Head and Neck Surgery. Madras
ENT Research Foundation is a tertiary referral
center catering to patients from all over
India and abroad. This institute, which
is the brainchild of Prof. Mohan
Kameswaran, was started in the
year 1996 and has now moved into a more
spacious new building, located at Raja Annamalaipuram,
Chennai, India.
