Academic Activities
- Two major C.M.E. programs are conducted every year. There is one on the 2nd October to mark the date on which Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam took over the hospital, and another on May 2nd every year mark the founder of the hospital-Prof.M.S.Ramakrishnan’s anniversary.
- C.M.E. is decided based on the current disease prevalence that exists in children. To make it a quality event, the C.M.E. committee explores the list of best speakers in each subject and the foundation sends invitation to them to come down and speak as this event is carried out for two days;
- A very informative souvenir is brought out which contains all the lectures as full texts. These books are sent to the department of science and technology for validation of our research activities
