About Us

Christian Medical College Vellore, known as CMC was founded by Dr.Ida S.Scudder in 1900 as a single bedded hospital.

Christian Medical College Vellore, seeks to be a witness in the healing ministry of Christ, through excellence in education, service and research.

Despite the heavy patient load of 8500 out-patients, 2500 in-patients everyday and limited space, CMC strives for safety of patients and healthcare workers. Towards this, Qulaity Management Cell was established in 2007, Safety Cell in 2010 and Occupational Health Wing in 2012 under the Directorate.
