Critical Window

Dr. Abboosh Adil Michael Yamen, a 63-year-old Critical Care Anaesthesiologist from Iraq, arrived at KG Hospital's ICU in critical condition following sudden cardiac arrest. When he reached the hospital, he had no blood pressure and no pulse — a true medical emergency requiring immediate intervention.

An emergency angiogram revealed a severe double coronary artery blockage. The blockages were so severe that Dr. Abboosh's heart had completely stopped functioning. Primary angioplasty performed within 90 minutes of cardiac arrest has a 95% success rate in minimizing heart damage.

"From the moment he arrived, we knew every second mattered. Our emergency response team was ready to act." — Dr. P. Nitthiyan, Senior Cardiologist

Dr. Abboosh required aggressive Advanced Cardiac Life Support, including cardiac massage and electrical cardioversion. Dr. P. Nitthiyan led the angioplasty procedure with a team of five specialists.

The procedure involved:

  • Balloon Dilation: A catheter with a balloon was carefully positioned using a guidewire to dilate the blocked arteries.
  • Stent Placement: A metal stent was precisely placed to restore and maintain normal blood flow.
  • Complete Restoration: The procedure successfully restored blood supply to the heart.
"Every moment was critical. Our interventional team performed with exceptional skill. The fact that we completed this within 90 minutes was crucial to Dr. Abboosh's recovery." — Dr. P. Nitthiyan, Senior Cardiologist

Following the successful angioplasty, Dr. Abboosh was admitted to ICU for intensive monitoring. His recovery progressed remarkably well, and he was discharged just four days after the life-saving procedure. Today, Dr. Abboosh continues to work as a Critical Care Anaesthesiologist.

Recovery Success

Mr. Saleh Sail Shinoon, a 36-year-old police officer from the Sultanate of Oman, demonstrated remarkable determination in seeking treatment. Despite facing significant travel challenges during a health crisis, he made a determined journey to KG Hospital — travelling from Oman to Dubai to Mumbai to Coimbatore — in search of specialized medical care.

"The journey was difficult, but the moment I reached KG Hospital and was examined, I knew I made the right decision." — Mr. Saleh Sail Shinoon

Upon arrival at KG Hospital, Mr. Shinoon was experiencing severe abdominal pain. The medical team conducted comprehensive diagnostic examinations revealing two conditions requiring surgical correction.

Conditions diagnosed:

  • Intestinal Fistula: An abnormal connection between the intestines and other organs, requiring surgical repair.
  • Hernia: Protrusion of abdominal contents through a weakness in the abdominal wall, also requiring correction.

Given the complexity of the conditions, the surgical team performed four carefully planned operations to address both issues safely. Each surgery was spaced appropriately for recovery between procedures.

"Mr. Shinoon responded excellently to treatment. His willingness to undergo the necessary procedures and his positive attitude contributed significantly to his recovery."

After just one week of hospitalization, Mr. Shinoon had recovered well, was discharged in excellent health, and returned to Oman ready to resume his duties as a police officer.

Lives Transformed

An elderly couple from Sudan — a country in northeastern Africa — made a remarkable journey to KG Hospital, Coimbatore, seeking eye care that had eluded them at home. The 70-year-old husband had very poor vision in his right eye. Despite undergoing multiple procedures to correct his vision, there had been no improvement, and he had been living with the debilitating condition.

His 65-year-old wife was diagnosed with mature cataract in her right eye. Witnessing her husband's repeated failed attempts at treatment had left her deeply reluctant to undergo eye surgery herself. The deteriorating eyesight of both partners began to severely affect their daily life and independence.

"Seeing her husband's repeated failed procedures had understandably made her fearful of surgery. But as their routine life became increasingly affected, they knew they had to seek help." — Dr. Manoj Ramachandran, Chief Ophthalmologist, KG Hospital

How they found KG Hospital: The couple's daughter, residing in Dubai, was contacted for help. She consulted a Coimbatorean friend who immediately recommended KG Hospital — "KG Hospital is a medical hub; send your parents there for treatment." The family reached out to the hospital, which arranged visa assistance and coordinated the couple's travel to Coimbatore.

  • Husband's Treatment: After thorough diagnosis, due medical management was initiated. The patient's vision improved significantly under KG Hospital's ophthalmology care.
  • Wife's Cataract Surgery: Encouraged by her husband's improvement, the 65-year-old wife agreed to undergo cataract surgery on her right eye.
  • Immediate Results: The very next day after her cataract surgery, she reported regaining completely normal vision — a moment of joy and relief after years of declining sight.
"Before leaving for Sudan, the couple expressed their happiness over the kind of treatment they received here. They promised to spread the message about KG Hospital and Coimbatore among their relatives, friends, and associations. They will certainly act as our brand ambassadors in Sudan." — Dr. Manoj Ramachandran, Chief Ophthalmologist

The couple returned home not only with restored sight but also with a story of hope to share across their community in Sudan — proof that KG Hospital's reputation for compassionate, expert care extends across continents.

To Walking Success

A 36-year-old mother of two from Bangladesh arrived at KG Hospital wheelchair-bound, in severe pain, and having nearly lost hope of ever walking again. Her suffering began 18 months earlier when she underwent Dynamic Hip Screw Fixation surgery in Bangladesh — complications led to chronic, unrelenting hip pain that progressively worsened her mobility.

When doctors in Bangladesh suggested another hip surgery, she hesitated. With help from relatives who had previously been treated at KG Hospital, she made the decision to travel to Coimbatore.

"When she arrived at KG Hospital, her pain had become so severe that she could barely function. She was crying from the physical pain, but also from the emotional despair of not being able to care for her children."

Upon recommendation of KG Hospital Chairman Dr. G. Bakthavathsalam, a specialized panel was assembled: Dr. A. Sakthivel (Chief Orthopedic Surgeon), Dr. T. Ramachandran (Chief Physician), and Dr. V. Mohan Gandhi (Chief Executive Officer, Rehabilitation).

The comprehensive evaluation revealed a critical discovery: X-rays showed nothing structurally wrong with her hip. The problem was her overall physical condition, muscle function, and uncontrolled diabetes — not the hip itself. Rather than surgery, KG Hospital developed a comprehensive rehabilitation programme:

  • Diabetic Management: Stabilizing blood sugar levels to optimize healing.
  • Muscle Strengthening: Progressive physical therapy to rebuild strength.
  • Weight-Bearing Training: Carefully graduated exercises to restore capacity.
  • Gait Training: Specialized physiotherapy to retrain proper walking patterns.

The Remarkable 9-Day Timeline:

Day 1–2
Assessment and baseline evaluation. Patient in wheelchair, unable to lift or move left leg. Intensive physiotherapy begins.
Day 5
Major breakthrough! Patient was able to discard one crutch. The improvement was dramatic.
Day 7
The second crutch was abandoned. Significant mobility and independence regained.
Day 9
Walking independently without any support. Tears of joy replaced tears of pain.
"The moment she started walking without support, the entire family was moved to tears. A mother's ability to walk toward her children — that's what true healthcare achievement looks like."
