New Delhi: MGM Healthcare, a multi-specialty hospital in Chennai has established the world’s largest intestinal rehabilitation and transplant programme in a span of just three years.
It has completed over 40 intestinal transplants till date, including 21 in 2025 alone, the highest annual volume reported globally.
The programme’s integrated care model is built around three key pillars—a robust home-based Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) programme that enables continuity of care outside the hospital, a near-zero-infection protocol powered by the novel antiseptic solution Dorbimex. Completing the triad is a first-of-its-kind ‘Back to Base’ critical care transport model, facilitating safe patient transfers from across India.
Led by Professor Anil Vaidya, chair and director of the Institute of Multi-Visceral and Abdominal Organ Transplant, the programme has achieved world-class outcomes, with 98 percent of patients becoming free of TPN—a critical marker of true physiological recovery and quality of life.
Additionally, it has expanded its impact and clinical boundaries by contributing to the development of India’s first transplant oncology programme in this field, offering new curative options for complex, previously inoperable conditions.
