Allied Health Sciences-Admission 2024
Introduction
Oddanchatram is a taluk in Dindigul District of the state of Tamilnadu, located on the main road between Dindigul and Palani, accessible by both train and road. During 1950’s Oddanchatram was surrounded by poverty stricken villages and people with severe malnutrition and anaemia. Leprosy was prevalent in many villages. Most of them lived in thatched houses and repair was beyond their reach. Unemployment added to their misery. It was during this period that, our founder, Dr. A. K. Tharien, having surrendered his life to Jesus Christ wanted to use his medical skills to uplift the poor and marginalized, as an outpouring of his faith, depending on God.
History
The Christian Fellowship Hospital is run by the Christian Fellowship, a charitable society which was established by a small group in 1955. It began as a small one room clinic in response to certain perceived needs in a backward area. It was started with the charitable and benevolent purpose of promoting spiritual, moral, mental and social advancement of the community in and around Oddanchatram. It aims to serve as a Christ centered witness through the ministry of healing the whole person and being involved in other developmental programmes of the community.
At present the hospital has 299 beds with major specialty departments. The outpatient department has an average footfall of over 1000 patients daily. Over 1000 deliveries are conducted and over 3500 surgeries are performed annually. The busy intensive care is equipped for emergency care including
coronary care. There is also a paediatric ICU and Neonatal care unit. Great emphasis is placed on community health programmes by organized village clinics, home visits, school health education programs and other projects for development and education. Hospital is also certified by National Accreditation Board for hospital and Health Care providers (NABH).
Community health services involve activities of prevention of diseases, health promotion, curative care and sound referral system. The institution has its own community health centers, one in Pachalur (rural) hill area and four in Oddanchatram (urban) which covers a population of 25000.
The institution also works in collaboration with the government in delivering health care services to the
community in and around Oddanchatram.
The hospital and all its programmes are self supporting and the educational training programmes are heavily subsidized. This had been possible because of the Grace of God and the sacrificial service of committed staff who make a deliberate attempt to reduce cost of spending by adopting a simpler style of life and functioning.
