Strengthening its commitment to campus wellness, SRM University-AP has expanded and modernised its Medical Centre, significantly boosting its capacity to deliver 24/7 healthcare support for students, faculty, and staff.

The Medical Centre, which operates with five full-time doctors including a paediatrician, is supported by seven trained nursing staff and emergency care personnel. With the upgrade, the facility has expanded from a two-bedded unit to an eight-bedded facility, equipped with other semi advanced diagnostic and treatment equipment.

To strengthen diagnostic services, SRM University-AP has partnered with Apollo Diagnostics, Durga Labs, and Ramesh Labs in Mangalagiri. While the University aims to provide maximum treatment on campus, students requiring advanced investigations such as X-rays, scans, or specialist intervention are referred to Manipal Hospital or NRI Hospital, with complete transport support arranged by the University.

Prof. Ch Satish Kumar, Vice Chancellor, said that the health and well-being of our students and staff stand at the heart of SRM University-AP’s mission. This expansion reflects our commitment to building a campus ecosystem where quality healthcare is accessible, immediate, and compassionate. The upgraded Medical Centre is a vital step in supporting our vibrant learning community.

Student Affairs Director, Retired Major General Gurdeep Singh Narang added that all students are covered under health insurance, which allows for cashless admission for the first 24 hours at partner hospitals, addressing the University’s safety and support ecosystem.

In addition to treatment services, the University actively promotes health awareness and community wellbeing. Regular medical and wellness camps are conducted for students, staff, and neighbouring communities.

Eye check-ups, dental camps, dermatology consultations, general health screenings, gynaecology camps, as well as women’s health awareness sessions focusing on PCOS, HPV vaccination cervical cancer, other cancers will be conducted.Specialist talks on gastrointestinal cancer prevention, lifestyle disorders, and dermatology concerns are also planned.

The Medical Centre team in collaboration  with the Student Affairs Office, plans to conduct health camps for children from Classes 1 to 5 at Kuragallu PHC school. The inaugural event witnessed the presence of several academic and administrative leaders, including Prof. Ch Satish Kumar, Vice Chancellor; Dr R Premkumar, Registrar; Director, Campus Life & Maintenance; Deans and Directors, members of the student council, among others.
