Clinical Services
Clinical Services are provided by the Government Rajaji Hospital which is a 1691 bedded Super Speciality Hospital providing free health care to people in the lower income group. It was opened in 1842 and moved into its present premises on August 31, 1940. It was named after Lord Erskine (Governor of Madras Presidency in 1930s) as he contributed a lot to the hospital growth. The Erskine Hospital was inaugurated in November 1940 by Sir Arthur Hope, the then Governor of Madras. In 1956 the hospital became a teaching hospital, being attached to our college. It was renamed as Government Rajaji Hospital in January 1980.

Famous quotes containing the word services:
“It seems I impregnated Marge
So I do rather feel, by and large,
Some cash should be tendered
For services rendered,
But I can’t quite decide what to charge.”
