Sri Ramachandra University (SRU) signed a MoU with Voluntary Health Services (VHS) to improve healthcare and undertake joint research at the Taramani centre on Saturday, September 19. The MoU was signed by Chancellor Dr. JSN Murthy and VHS honorary secretary Dr. S Suresh.
The MoU states that doctors and paramedics from SRU will now come to VHS to provide patient services and also look into pathological and radiological services. VHS has 12 mini centres in south Chennai and students from SRU will be visiting all of them as well. The students will focus on the needs and health problems of urban communities.
Dr. Murthy stated that SRU was one of the top ten medical colleges in India and this was due to the vision of its founder Chancellor NPV Ramasamy Udayar. Dr. Suresh said that VHS was an ideal destination for emergency and trauma care and was a pioneer in community health. Affordable healthcare delivery was their goal. According to him, the MoU will allow students to understand community healthcare better.
