Madras ENT Research Foundation
is a tertiary referral center catering to
patients from all over India and abroad.
This institute has state-of-the-art facilities
in the field of Ear, Nose, Throat Diseases
& Head and Neck Surgery. Madras ENT
Research Foundation (MERF) is the brainchild
of Prof. Mohan Kameswaran, who started it
in the year 1996. Beginning with an initial
bed strength of a mere 6 beds, 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. Today
MERF has expanded into a hi-tech 30 bedded
hospital with all advanced diagnostic &
therapeutic facilities under one roof. MERF
is centrally located at Raja Annamalaipuram,
Chennai, India.
MERF has been in the forefront of the Cochlear
Implant scenario in India with a series
of more than 350 implants till date. Today
MERF has one of the largest Cochlear Implant
clinics not only in India, but in the whole
of South Asia. In 2005, The first Auditory
Brain-stem Implantation in South Asia was
performed at this institute and in the current
year MERF accomplished the feat of performing
the First Pediatric Auditory Brainstem Implantation
in Asia. The first series of Totally implantable
Hearing Devices in this part of the world
were also performed successfully at MERF
last year.
MERF has 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. ENT Specialists
from all over India & abroad are regularly
trained in the intricacies of various realms
of ENT & Head–Neck Surgery, by
the highly qualified & vastly experienced
faculty of our institution.
More than its quantitative growth over the
past decade, what has been immensely gratifying
for the entire MERF family today, is the
qualitative growth which has been acquired
due to dedicated hard work with an unrelenting
commitment to excel. Today MERF has facilities,
which can be the envy of many ENT centers
in the most advanced countries of the world.
