“Millions of lives and billions of rupees could be saved if people are aware of utilizing right type of health facility at the right time”.

Since 1996 the students and faculty at Apollo College and School of Nursing have been delivering quality health care to families in need at Tambaram and from 2003 onwards to the villagers of Thiruverkadu Town Panchayat. The concepts of community health nursing are incorporated in the entire 3 years of study. 800 voluntary hours by each student is spent on different community health nursing activities
