The girl contracted tuberculosis when she was 8 years old. For years, she suffered from frequent infections. The challenge of performing a bilateral lung transplantation is compounded by the patient’s severe pulmonary hypertension. Chennai, 21 October 2024: Rela Hospital successfully performed a complex bilateral lung transplant on an 18-year-old girl from Kancheepuram who had been battling Post-TB Bilateral Bronchiectasis, a condition in which damage to the bronchial tubes (airways) of both lungs occurs as a consequence of a previous tuberculosis infection. The girl, Shanmugapriya, contracted a tuberculosis infection when she was eight years old. Initially, she was treated with medication by a general physician in her hometown. However, as her condition worsened, she required non-invasive oxygen support at home and was eventually hospitalised for 24×7 oxygen support.

Before proceeding, I sought opinions from several major hospitals and surgeons in Chennai, and every one of them spoke highly of Dr. Srinath and his team, assuring me that we were in the best possible hands. This reassurance gave me the confidence to move forward, and the results exceeded all expectations. I also want to commend Rela Hospital as a whole for their comprehensive, end-to-end support—from admission through discharge, including effortless insurance processing. There was virtually nothing I needed to handle myself; the level of expertise, hospitality, and attention to detail was unmatched by any other hospital I’ve experienced in Chennai.

My Mother in law Mrs.Geetha.L aged 73 was taken under the care of their wings for her Cardiac problem. She underwent Aortic Valve replacement for her Acute stenosis. We were initially afraid as she is a High Risk Patient being a Twice Cancer Survivor and has undergone multiple Surgeries. But our fears were addressed and her safety ensured by the able team of Doctors . The Surgery was performed on 12th Dec 2025 and she is back to her exuberant self . Can't thank enough for the support given and a Promise met. Congratulations ! Keep rocking!!
