Dr. Aswin Govindarajan

Dr. Aswin Govindarajan is a Consultant Neurologist at Rela Hospital, Chennai, with over eight years of experience caring for patients with a wide range of neurological conditions. He has a particular focus on epilepsy — including drug-resistant cases — and complex headache disorders such as chronic migraine. His practice also covers stroke care, dementia, diabetic neuropathy, autoimmune neurology, and neurorehabilitation, making him a well-rounded neurologist for patients dealing with both common and difficult-to-treat conditions.

Dr. Govindarajan completed his MBBS, MD in General Medicine, and DM in Neurology all at Sri Ramachandra Medical College and Research Institute in Chennai. From early on, he pursued international recognition to complement his Indian training. He earned the Fellowship of the European Board of Neurology (FEBN), passed the MRCP (UK) with a specialty certificate in neurology, and completed a neuroradiology certification through the Royal College of Radiologists, UK. He further trained in neurorehabilitation at Harvard Medical School and completed advanced certification in autoimmune neurology and multiple sclerosis at the Mayo Clinic in the USA. His subspecialty fellowship in epilepsy at Gleneagles Global Health City, Chennai gave him hands-on experience alongside leading epilepsy and surgical epilepsy specialists.

Patients and families often remark on Dr. Govindarajan's ability to explain complex neurological problems in plain, reassuring language. He takes time to understand each person's situation fully before recommending a course of action, and he believes that good neurological care is as much about listening as it is about clinical precision. Whether someone is managing a new diagnosis or has been living with a chronic condition for years, he works to build a clear, practical plan they can feel confident about.

For international patients, Dr. Govindarajan's credentials offer a particular sense of reassurance. His qualifications from the UK, USA, and Europe, combined with his DHA (Dubai Health Authority) certification, mean he is familiar with international healthcare standards and can communicate comfortably across cultural contexts. Gaf Healthcare works directly with Dr. Govindarajan and Rela Hospital to help patients from abroad arrange consultations, second opinions, and treatment plans with as little friction as possible.
