In this context, we place on record the commitment of Apollo Hospitals to wipe out the in equalities in health care by extending their services on a continuum of serving the people in the creamy layer of the society to that of free services offered to the under privileged sector Since 1996 the students and faculty at Apollo College and School of Nursing have been delivering quality health care to families in need at Tambaram and from 2003 onwards to the villagers of Thiruverkadu Town Panchayat.The concepts of community health nursing are incorporated in the entire 4 years of study. 800 voluntary hours by each student is spent on different community health nursing activities
The concept of community health nursing is incroperated in all four years of the course. We have obtained Government permission for Valyankulum PHC for the community health nursing field experience. The students go for home visits and conduct various community activities towards preventive and promotive health of the people.
