y office on the first floor overlooks the main arterial passage of the hospital. One window allows me a good view of the flood of people coming into hospital during morning hours. The other window offers me a vantage view of the most traumatic scenes at the accident and emergency services. When I intermittently look out through either, it never ceases to amaze me as to how pressing the health needs of the country are. For the hundred and fifteenth year in succession, the Christian Medical College, Vellore is privileged to be part of this huge task of providing healthcare to India.

What began as a one-bed clinic in response to the needs of local women and children in Vellore, has grown to its present size and form in response to the enlarging needs of the nation. A recent visitor to CMC, who is a strategic management expert, observed that CMC Vellore is the largest Christian organization in India. It is undeniable that CMC continues to grow, bringing in thousands of people seeking healthcare. God continues to be good to us as an institution. Contained in this supplement is our latest profile. The patient load has gone up and our numbers are staggering. I can only thank God for the way He has led us through another year. I stand in deep appreciation to all my staff, at all levels, for their deep commitment to the mission of our institution. The numbers are staggering and our clinicians have coped with the pressures of patient care. The laboratories have worked overtime to bring about rapid test results. New services have been added. There are a larger number of people from the northern and western parts of India. The space crunch continues to be acute but we hope to release some space with the re-organization plans in place. Trauma and other non-communicable diseases challenge us. The disease profile change in our country is calling us to change our service delivery style. More day-care, more emergency and intensive care is what is needed. We intend to respond to that in the coming year. We are hopeful that our initiative to offer high-quality trauma care will find favour with the state and central governments. CMC has received recognition for its best practices and community health, from various organizations. Many of our faculty are recipients of prestigious awards and honours. We continue the position of excellence endorsed by several media agencies. I want to thank Dr. Abraham Peedicayil and the Promotion Office staff for the wonderful compilation of facts and figures which offers the reader a snapshot of the work done in CMC.
