In 1955, the facility relocated to Chetpet, evolving into a multi-specialty surgical and birthing unit with one delivery room and two convalescence rooms. Dr. Mehta’s Hospital’s Private Limited was officially incorporated on 4 October 1994. Today, Sameer Mehta serves as Chairman, Dr. Pranav Mehta as Director, and Mr. Dilip Mehta as Emeritus Chairman.[ citation needed ]
