SMVMCH has good infrastructure with well-maintained buildings, clean surroundings, and spacious classrooms. The hospital facilities are neatly organized, and the campus provides a comfortable and supportive environment for students and patients alike.

The infrastructure is attractive and peaceful location. No fees for Bed admission, Doctor consultation, Nurse care, Few tests. I felt more peaceful with the handling method of doctors. It's affordable for people around PUDUCHERRY and Villupuram district. Only one concern is, hygienic in toilets and inpatient wards. Twice the day cleaning of ward is needed to avoid the risk of disease spread.

Dear Management/Concerned Authority, We faced a serious safety issue near the parking area today. More than 10 stray dogs attempted to attack us, leaving us shocked and frightened. Unfortunately, the security personnel did not take any action or show concern about the situation. This has become a matter of fear for patients, visitors, and even staff members. I kindly request the management to take immediate steps to restrict stray dogs from entering the campus to ensure everyone's safety. Thank you for your attention.
