Tata Memorial Hospital: a Peerless Icon

Abstract

Few institutes last long and fewer maintain their pre-eminent position throughout their life. They are called temples of their silo. Tata Memorial Hospital and Centre (TMC) is one such temple of healing. The contribution of TMC in patient care, education and research is unique and reasons for its success are varied. It is probably the best expression of Tata culture, Government’s commitment, dedication and autonomy of people who ran it. A glimpse into the journey with its changing vision towards a pointed mission of conquest of cancer in India is captured in words.
