Crescent
Hospital was inaugurated on 1st of May 1997 under the auspices of Crescent
Medical Centre Ltd. The birth of this Hospital marked the beginning of a new
era of professional health care in the history of Alathur. The population of
the thaluk, totaling around 4 Lakhs, had the opportunity, for the first time,
to seek expert medical opinion and efficient treatment for their ailments in
their own locality. A hospital was such a need in the locality that 90% of
people who suffered from even minor ailments had to travel at least 50 Kms to
procure primary health care. The National High Way on an entire length of 110
Kms between Coimbatore and Thrissur, didn’t have a single hospital where
emergency trauma care could be availed. The region had witnessed through years
a number of incidents of road traffic accident victims dying on their way to
hospital just because they couldn’t get emergency medical care at the right
time. It was under these dismal circumstances that Crescent Medical Centre Ltd.
came forward and put forth the trend-setting path in health care by
establishing a Centre capable of providing excellent and immediate modern
medical treatment.The promoters of this noble venture include a group of
motivated people for whom this land is their hometown and the inhabitants are
their friends and relatives. So, to alleviate the tragic grievances of the
people around them was deemed as their God ordained duty towards the community.
Rather than monetary benefit, the prime motive behind this humane effort was to
lend a helping hand to the society to alleviate their suffering and hardships.
It
is with this motive that CMC set forth its motto as 'Service to Humanity
is Service to the Almighty'.
