When D K Srinivasan was struck by the dearth of good healthcare facilities for the poor and needy in and around the city of Chennai, he decided to start a charitable healthcare institution that would pioneer the cause of marginalised people. He founded Hindu Mission Hospital in 1982 with a vision to provide exceptional medical care to the needy irrespective of caste, creed or religion. His missionary zeal has propelled the hospital to its current state and his vision continues to drive the institution to greater heights. His efforts have alleviated the suffering of countless people over the last 37 years.

Dr. D K Sriram has been associated with the Hindu Mission Hospital from its inception. Having lived and worked in the United States of America and the United Kingdom for 17 years, he has taken over as Medical Director of Hindu Mission Hospital. Since Dr D K Sriram joined the hospital in 2012, he has set up the Heart Institute, Brain and Spine Institute, Neuro Clinic, Diabetes Institute and many more speciality departments with a view to upgrade and modernise the hospital to meet current demands.
