Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute For Medical Sciences & Technology
On a visit to a super-specialty hospital in Europe, Sree Chitra Tirunal Maharajah was seized with a deep desire to establish a similar institution in Kerala. Those were the times when tertiary cares in cardiovascular and neurological diseases were not available in the State. In the summer of 1974, the Maharajah's dream was fulfilled when the royal family made a gift that carried in its womb the beginnings of what later turned out to be the Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences & Technology.
