Our Story

Healing Thanjavur with Advanced Surgery Since 2007

Founded in 2007 as Sudar Hospital by Dr. S. Sasiraj in a rented building, the hospital later moved to its present location as a modern facility — Sudar Hospital And Research Institute. It was developed and established by a reputed surgeon and son of the soil, Dr. S. Sasiraj (MS, DNB), at Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu.

Today it stands as one of the most distinguished multispeciality surgical centres, providing advanced surgical services. Alongside general and laparoscopic surgeries and day-care surgeries, the hospital offers dedicated dialysis and ophthalmology with quality and patient safety, along with stringent infection prevention and control standards.
