From 1900 when the founder, Dr. Ida Sophia Scudder started
CMC with a single bed in her father’s home, to the present day,
CMC has been growing both in numbers and services rendered to
the people. Today, CMC serves over 2300 inpatients and 7500
outpatients daily, with 67 wards, 220 clinics each day and
144 departments / units.
As a teaching institution CMC trains doctors, nurses and
allied health workers with a high degree of technical competence to
serve with love and compassion in the spirit of Christ. CMC is unique
in being not only one of the pioneering institutions in the country in
the area of medical research and high-tech health care, but also as
an institution which reaches out to the practical needs of the poor
through low cost inpatient wards and outpatient clinics in the slum
areas of Vellore town with concessional or free care for the most
needy. In addition, through large rural health and development
projects in the K.V. Kuppam, Kaniyambadi and Anaicut blocks, the
wholistic concept of healing is advocated wherein rural folk are given
training in various vocational fields, by which they can augment their
earning power, thus enhancing their standard of living and the
general physical and economic well being. CONTACT : P. R. O.
