CMC VELLORE


I have just been through an article in the Sunday magazine section of 'The Hindu'
by Ms Sujata Sreenivasan on 15 July 2018 titled 'The Humanisation of Medicine'.

Ms Sujata is a journalist with the US non - profit Connecticut Health Investigation Team.

The article  is a true expose of CMC Vellore that too by a non Christian who has no compulsion to take up the cause of the famed institution.

In her article she dwells deeply on CMC Vellore where her critically injured mother had been admitted following a Car Crash.

Ms Sujata was moved by the commitment of the doctors, staff and the students at the CMC Vellore.
She writes,""

She quotes Dr.V.I.Mathen, Professor and a retired CMC Director," We look for character, aptitude and attitude. Our selection process is central to our culture and to the profession to which we commit our lives."

She closes the article, "But in the case of a non profit institution like  CMC  that have a proven track record some amount of autonomy in the selection process is not only necessary, it is vital to sustaining its culture of medical excellence which serves as an example to hospitals everywhere."
