  "account": "The Christian Medical College (CMC) in Ranipet has inaugurated a new Paediatric Speciality Centre, marking a significant milestone in the institution's commitment to providing advanced healthcare for children. The 346-bedded centre, built at a cost of ₹420 crore, will be a comprehensive facility offering specialized care in various departments.\n\nDepartments such as Paediatric Neurology, Paediatric Rheumatology, Paediatric Nephrology, Paediatric Respiratory Medicine, and Paediatric Oncology are being relocated from CMC's Vellore campus to the new Ranipet centre. The facility is set to be fully operational by January 2027, with phased transition and commencement of clinical departments scheduled for February and March 2027.\n\nThis ambitious project was made possible through the generous support of Fairfax (via the Vellore CMC Foundation), Quess Corp, and contributions from numerous donors and well-wishers. The new centre represents the college's ongoing dedication to delivering compassionate and state-of-the-art pediatric healthcare.",
