TWENTY YEARS OF EXCELLENCY

• 14 Mar, 2020

Dr. P Mahalingam M.D. Gen Med, DM Cardiology, F.C.C.P, envisioned an India where affordable medical health care and facilities were available to all; where the underprivileged did not suffer ill health and disease due to lack of resources.  He dreamt of nurturing capable, young doctors who would excel in their respective fields and courageously take on the responsibility of treating their patients. This vision of his led him to establish his first hospital, Santosh Hospital Pvt Ltd in Chennai, Tamil Nadu in 1990. Since then, there has been no looking back. The commencement of Paramedical Colleges in Chennai occurred in 1993 followed by the setting up of Santosh Medical College in 1995 in Ghaziabad. Established in the same year, was the Santosh Dental College in Ghaziabad. Finally, the Para Medical Colleges in Ghaziabad was established in 1996.
