As its motto, we have adopted the words of Jesus in the Bible: ‘Not to be ministered unto, but to minister’ โ meaning ‘not to be served, but to serve.’
These words come from Jesusโ teaching: ‘For even the Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister’ (Mark 10:45). They express the spirit of servant leadership โ leading with humility, responsibility, and a willingness to serve others.
The motto reminds us to place service at the heart of our work and relationships, using our abilities to support and enable others. It is a simple principle that guides how we seek to lead, work, and serve.
CMC is a charitable society and seeks to help transform for the better, the health status of India. The hospital serves millions of people directly, but an even greater impact comes from those who have been trained here and have then gone out to serve, treat and teach others.
While most of the patients pay for their treatment, any surplus arising in one area is primarily reinvested to give subsidies and free care for those who cannot afford the full cost, and to fund educational and training activities.
All the core activities are achieved without external funding from the government or elsewhere. However, external resources are used to fund research and the development of infrastructure.
Our dream is never to have to turn anyone away because they cannot afford the cost of their treatment.โฏ
