I am glad to share that the VELS GROUP has reached yet another milestone in its journey of over thirty years, by establishing its first medical institution in Chennai (and second medical institution in India). We are commencing our journey in health education with a mission to develop quality healthcare professionals. We commit ourselves to the welfare of humankind, as we strive to provide one of the best healthcare services to the rural masses.
Realizing this need, Vels Medical College & Hospital (VMCH), under Vels Institute of Science, Technology & Advanced Studies (VISTAS) A Deemed to be University was established in the year 2018 at Periyapalayam Road, Manjankaranai Village, Uthukottai Taluk, Tiruvallur District. With the approval for the medical institution from the academic year 2021-22, our vision to provide well-qualified medical professionals to meet needs of the rural population has finally received the much- needed fillip.
Indian healthcare professionals have the advantage of working in a very biologically active region that expenses them to treatment regimens of various kinds of conditions. The quality and amount of experience is arguably unmatched in most other countries. Despite limited access to high end diagnostic tools in rural areas, healthcare professions rely on extensive experience in rural areas. However non-availability of diagnostic and increasing reluctance of qualified and experienced healthcare professionals to practice in rural, under-equipped and financially less lucrative rural areas are becoming a big challenge.
With the support of the various stakeholders, we hope to realize our dream of making this institution a benchmark for quality healthcare and healthcare professionals in the country. I hope the aspiring students, will make the best choice by selecting this institution for the undergraduate (MBBS) Medical Programme. I extend a very warm invitation to join our most distinguished Medical Fraternity here.
It is with great pleasure and pride that I extend a warm welcome to you all to VELS Medical College & Hospital (VMCH), located in the serene surroundings of Manjankaranai Village. VMCH, built on a vast and expansive 40-acre campus, stands as a testament to our commitment to excellence in medical education, healthcare, research, and community outreach.
At VMCH, we take immense pride in our excellent and state-of-the-art infrastructure facilities that create an environment conducive to higher and professional teaching-learning experiences. Our aim is not only to impart quality medical education but also to provide affordable healthcare services, contributing to the vision of a disease-free nation.
VMCH proudly embraces the motto "Affordable Health care for all." To realize this vision, we have initiated an Integrated Community Outreach Programme, designed to raise awareness and extend our services to underserved communities. Our ultimate objective is to create a disease-free community through low cost healthcare services to economically disadvantaged individuals, thus expanding healthcare accessibility to impoverished households.
Together, let us strive to make a positive difference in the lives of individuals and communities, contributing to the realization of our vision for a healthier and happier nation.
Thank you for being a part of the VELS journey.
