Chennai Expat Update(s)

Dear readers,

I'm getting quite some mails from expats, travellers, newspapers even, to meet up
in Chennai. Thanks for all these invitations but I'm not living in Chennai anymore, I returned to Belgium, Europe.

I hope this blog still offers some useful information if you are planning to go to Chennai as an expat or as a tourist. You are welcome to send me more information for updates in the blog too. mail filippelgrims at gmail.

I will try to occasionnally post some news updates and pictures from Chennai too. Though it's hard to keep in touch. I started this blog as a little experiment in India when I started working in the online marketing sector. I still am, which immediately explains why I don't find much time anymore for my little Chennai Expat project :).

Anyway, enjoy your reading.

Hospitals in Chennai

In case you need to see a doctor or need emergency care, it's not a bad idea to immediately head to the hospital without trying to look for a doctor's cabinet in your neighborhood.

Chennai's most famous hospital is the Apollo Hospital. It's a renowned hospital, from the biggest Asian Healthcare group Apollo. Normally an acceptable level of quality healthcare can be provided and the premisses are quite modern.
