India’s Largest Integrated Diagnostic Chain Offering Radiology and Pathology Services
Enabling accurate and timely diagnosis without financial stress
At Aarthi Scans and Labs, we believe that the cost of diagnosis should never become a barrier to care. No one should avoid essential tests because they fear expense. Making high quality diagnosis accessible to all is our vision. That’s why we have made a conscious choice to keep our prices for scans and blood tests up to 60% lesser than market rates despite using the premium brand of machines and advanced tech. This enables more people to access accurate and timely diagnosis without financial stress.
Founder’s Note
Hailing from a humble background and having faced struggles in my early days, I could not bear to see people travelling all the way to Coimbatore and Chennai for diagnosis, which often led to delays in their treatment. This very thought inspired me to establish Aarthi Scans and Labs, with the mission to make advanced diagnostics affordable, accessible, and timely for everyone.
-Er. V. Govindarajan
Origin of Aarthi Scans and Labs
The journey of Aarthi Scans and Labs is rooted in compassion and vision. In 1985, Er. Govindarajan and his wife, a doctor, started a modest 20-bed clinic in Kovilpatti, Tamil Nadu, to serve the local community. But he soon noticed a painful gap; patients from the region had to travel long distances to Coimbatore or Chennai for even the most basic diagnostic services, particularly MRI and CT scans.
Determined to solve this, he established the first Aarthi Scans and Labs diagnostic centre in Tirunelveli in 2000, offering MRI, CT, and Ultrasound, all under one roof. For the first time, patients from five southern Tamil Nadu districts had access to advanced scanning facilities close to home.
