The mandate of C.M.C. Ludhiana
is to train doctors, nurses and paramedicals to serve the needy throughout the country.
This includes training personnel to staff the small Christian hospitals in India of which
there are some 300. Some students will be sponsored by church and other bodies through
their training and will therefore be bonded to return to serve with those organisations;
others will go into pioneering situations to establish medical services in deprived areas.
It is therefore important that the training offered to students of all disciplines
includes the opportunity to work within the community. They can become aware of the
variety of conditions and situations under which people live and gain experience in
recognising and treating illnesses and diseases they will encounter in rural areas without
the use of sophisticated equipment.
