Mediscan Systems established in Chennai in 1982 was the brain child of Dr. Suresh and Dr. Indrani Suresh when medical scanning in India was still considered uncharted waters. Dr.S Suresh and Dr. Indrani Suresh were thus pioneers in ultrasound diagnostics in South India. Driven by the noble objective to provide high quality scan services, accurate diagnostics and reports, and make these services accessible to the underprivileged, Mediscan has moved from being just a scanning centre to extending specialized services in fetal care medicine.
Mediscan’s entry into the diagnostic scene is linked closely to the career graph of its founder Dr.Suresh. South India would not have got its first scanning centre, if Dr.Suresh had not changed his plan of becoming a surgeon and instead took up diagnostic scanning as a profession!
In the early 1980s, a medical scan centre was unheard of in South India. There was no telling if a pregnant woman was carrying a healthy baby or not, among many other such situations. This was when Dr.Suresh came up with the idea of a centre that would prevent human suffering through accurate medical diagnostics. Battling the challenges of initial training difficulties to investing in equipment was not easy.
The early days were the days of experimentation - Mediscan offered a free scanning facility to all the patients of Kasturba Gandhi Govt. Hospital. The centre’s reports were then cross-checked with the regular diagnosis by doctors. Mediscan gradually evolved into a scanning centre of repute in South India at the hands of Dr.Suresh and his wife Indrani Suresh.
The medical fraternity acknowledged that ultrasound scanning was indispensable for prenatal diagnosis and foetal therapy. Mediscan had finally arrived.
