Professional Educational Institutions
The
backwardness of the Palakkad District is reflected in the field of
professional education, especially in nursing education. When the
neighboring districts boast a large number of nursing schools and
colleges, there are only four nursing schools in the entire District of
Palakkad, with no opportunities for higher medical education in the
form of nursing/medical colleges.
Considering the need of the locality to have a Nursing College that can
keep up high standards in the nursing profession, and with its long and
varied experience in establishing and administering the Crescent
Hospital and the School of Nursing, Crescent Medical Centre Ltd.
decided to set up a Nursing College under its management. With the
available infrastructure facilities and medical/paramedical personnel
of the Hospital, it can provide advanced knowledge and training at
degree level with ample clinical experience to the nursing students.
With the School and College of Nursing, the Hospital envisions a
totally new approach to health education by integrating both the
promotive and preventive aspects of health. The high standards of
quality in patient care and the line of treatment provided by the
Hospital will be an inspiration to the students. In keeping with its
commitment to providing quality health care services, the curricular
standards will also be maintained at a very high level.
