Contact Information 

Unlike almost every other big private or public organisation, the Director of CMC, in common with all other administrative positions in CMC, does not receive any additional financial remuneration from being Director. He or she continues to be paid according to the scale they were on when taking up the post.

The Director is appointed for a 5-year term only. After this time they will step back into their previous department and someone else will take over. The other administrative posts are four year terms. The Director is a full time post, but the Associate and Deputy Directors are only part time appointments, and continue with their existing departmental responsibilities.
The Council Chairman, the Director, the Council Secretary, and the Treasurer are the four trustees of the CMC Vellore Association. This means that all the institution’s property is vested in them. As trustees they hold the property and funds on behalf of the institution and its beneficiaries, so they cannot benefit personally from either the position they hold or the assets they “own”. Offices under the Directorate Council Office 

The Council Office, headed by the Council Secretary is responsible for organizing the meetings of the CMC Vellore Association and the Council, which is the governing body of CMC. The Secretary also organizes the meetings of all the Council Committees such as the Executive Committee which meets several times between each meeting of the Council.

Development Office 
The Development Office, established in 2007, aims to help CMC raise extra resources to increase its capacity to provide high quality care and education, particularly to the poor and marginalised. We do this through building friendships with all who are interested in the work of CMC, in India and abroad, and giving them opportunities to support us in ways appropriate to them. We want to provide all our visitors and patients with good information about the charitable work of CMC, and how to support it, particularly to encourage them to join the Friends of CMC Vellore network.

Friends of CMC Vellore is an international network of people who want to stay in touch with CMC and to support us through prayer, telling others about CMC, and helping us raise resources. There is no membership fee and no obligation to donate. Send us your name and address by email or post and we will tell you more. There are independent charities in many countries around the world that are part of the Friends of CMC Vellore  network, you can explore links to these at /vellore-friends/
Helping Poor Patients

We have a dream that CMC should never have to turn anyone away because they cannot afford to pay for their healthcare. In hundreds of cases every day the cost of healthcare is too much for their fragile family budget, and they have to borrow money or simply can’t afford to pay. The scale of the problem in India is immense, and we can only scratch the surface ourselves. However, each time we help one person we make a difference; every time someone trained at CMC serves a needy patient we have achieved something worthwhile. We are part of a much larger movement of government and health carers all seeking to ensure that everyone in India has access to affordable quality healthcare.

We organise fundraising events, such as concerts and marathons to benefit poor patients. 

•  The Person to Person Fund (PTP) gives small grants to needy patients to help pay for their treatment at CMC. This fund helps about 3,000 people every year.

•  The Centenary Endowment Fund provides large grants of up to Rs. 2 lakhs to help pay for life saving treatment, especially advanced surgical operations, it also helps in cases where unexpected complications mean a significant increase in costs to the patient and their family.

•  The Development Office Emergency Fund provides grants of up to Rs.1 lakh for deserving patients requiring urgent treatment where other sources are insufficient or may take too long to come. We are able to help about 100 people a year in this way. The fund depends entirely on voluntary donations.

If you would like to know more about any of these opportunities to help, then please contact the Development Office, email dev.office@cmcvellore.ac.in or phone us on + 91 (0) 416 2283509. We can also send you a beautiful DVD about CMC Home of a Healing God, or our more recent high quality DVD Our Stories, Our CMC (you can also find these on YouTube).
Development Projects
CMC has a number of major building projects for which we are seeking funding. These include huge new campus projects at Kannigapuram and in the Chittoor District of Andhra Pradesh. We work with CMC Departments seeking funding for specific projects and needs. These include new equipment and facilities, and the development of new initiatives in patient care, education and research. We are eager to develop relationships with companies, grant giving trusts and other organisations, as well as helping departments at CMC draw up good projects.

We work with the Director’s Office and the Principal to help welcome visitors to CMC from abroad. Students come to CMC for elective placements, health care professionals come for research collaborations, observerships or as part of their postgraduate programmes, many people wish to come here as volunteers. On the first Monday of every month we host an international evening aimed at guests from abroad (8pm in the Senate Hall), and we are always happy to assist visitors in any way that we can.
