This paper contains a bibliometric analysis of healthcare professionals' research performance in Tamil Nadu between 2009 and 2018. Over 10 years, the Tamil Nadu scientific community has published 23,892 articles, which have been published in authoritative journals indexed by the web of science. The Data was collected on November 20, 2019, from the WoS Core Collection; the quantitative research was carried out. Co-citation analysis, collaboration analysis, is carried out using the Excel and VOSviewer. A total of 23,892 references have been received, the most active publication year was 2016 and a minimum number of publications in the year of 2009. The number of publications has increased steadily until 2016 after that publication count is decreased. Ramasamy, Jegadeesh, was the most prolific and influential researcher with 240 publications and 80 citations, the most collaborative productive countries are United States (n=2606) and UK (n=877). Christian Med College and Hospital got the highest publication count (n=3320) during the study period. From 2009 to 2016 the number of publications is increased steadily, but research output has shown a gradual decline in the number of publications behind 2016, this seems to show a lack of interest in health professionals’ research during the last few years.
