Univeristy Medical Centre :: Health and Wellbeing

The University Health Centre was initially established in the year 1993. Initially, the Health Centre was located near the Administrative Building and functioned from 9.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. Subsequently, the University Health Centre was renamed as the Medical Centre and shifted to the Fitness Centre at the Sports Science Block, Periyar Salai in main campus.
