Our Founder, Dr. Rupert Indar attended Naparima College and then Queen’s Royal College before moving to Dublin in 1946 to enter Trinity College where he completed his medical studies. He would practice as a surgeon in Ireland, England, Finland and the USA, before eventually returning home to Trinidad and Tobago in 1962 where 7 years later he founded Southern Medical Clinic.Southern Medical Clinic has been providing medical services in Trinidad & Tobago, since 1969. Its founders, Dr Rupert Indar, a General Surgeon and Dr Percival Harnarayan, an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, had a vision to improve the standard of healthcare. As Executive Chairman, Dr Rupert Indar has led Southern Medical Clinic to being a modern, first class medical clinic.
   Since its inception over 48 years ago, Southern Medical has grown from a hospital to a one-stop medical facility, with 3 operating theatres, a specialised oncology centre and some of the best and most modern equipment in the Caribbean. With the opening of the state-of-the-art Millennium Wing in 2008, (which houses the oncology centre) Southern Medical has become one of the most trusted centres for the diagnoses and treatment of cancer.
  Southern Medical Clinic has been a pioneer of medical achievements in Trinidad & Tobago, having the first CT scanner in the early 80’s, and the first MRI scanner in the Caribbean. In 2015, history was created at the institution, when a team of doctors at Southern Medical removed the largest tumor in the western hemisphere and the second largest ever in the world.
