Madras Red Fort Doctors Foundation
Not
so
long
ago
a
few
old
graduates
of
Madras
Medical
College
decided
to
establish
a
Foundation
to
support
our
College
and
its
students.
Madras
Medical
College
is
one
of
the
oldest
medical
schools
in
India.
The
College
that
began
as
a
private
Medical
Hall
run
by
Dr
Mortimar
of
the
East
India
Company
was
regularised
and
opened
as
a
medical
school
by
the
then
British
Governor,
Sir
Frederick
Adam,
in
1835.
Since
then
many
famous
doctors
have
graduated
from
our
College.
Today
many
are
working
at
prestigious
institutions
around
the
world.
We
are
proud
of
them
all.
With
the
passing
of
years
many
of
us
felt
that
we
should
try
and
give
back
a
little
to
our
alma
mater
as
a
way
of
saying
thank
you
to
the
great
institution.
We
are
in
the
process
of
creating
a
fund
that
can
be
used
to
undertake many of the objectives that have been set in the Articles of Association of the Foundation.
Some of the objectives are:
To encourage academic, social, and ethical values among the students, graduates, and postgraduates
of Madras Medical College without any racial, religious, community or social prejudice.
To advocate promotion of high quality medical and healthcare services among the graduates and
postgraduates of Madras Medical College including promoting free and subsidized services without any
motive to earn profit.
To promote research in medicine, healthcare, and related fields.
To carry on other health related charitable outreach activities for the benefit of society.
To arrange for a student and post-graduate exchange programmes between our college and medical
schools and hospitals outside the country.
To
achieve
many
of
these
objectives
we
will
need
a
lot
of
funding.
We
have
started
raising
funds
through
membership
of
the
Foundation
and
through
donations.
Any
graduate,
postgraduate
or
student
of
the
College
can
become
a
member.
Membership
fees
vary
depending
on
the
category
of
membership.
Today
we
have
just
over
50
members.
A
small
amount
contributed
regularly
by
many
graduates
will
all
add
up
to
something
that
will make a big difference
In
addition
to
helping
our
college,
by
becoming
a
member
of
the
foundation,
you
will
be
able
to
network
with
other
graduates
spread
around
the
world,
exchange
ideas,
seek
expert
advice
and
be
able
to
find
the
right
specialist for patient referrals.
We
appeal
to
all
graduates
of
our
college
to
join
us
in
supporting
our
college
to
raise
its
profile
and
making
it
the no one medical insttution in India.
