PSG is more than an institution. It is a thought in action – a thought that is at once noble and unique. A thought that gave charity a footing equal to that of a brother in flesh and blood. A thought that chose education as its transformative tool for propelling inclusive societal growth. And, a thought that remained not just a thought but resolved into action. In 1926! The passage of time makes it a legend, but pages of action make it dynamic!
PSG Institute of Medical Sciences and Research was started in 1985, and PSG Hospitals in 1989.
Medicine is learnt in the inseparable triumvirate of colleges, community and hospitals. The rigor of academics strengthens the reality of patient care. Thus, a medical college and hospital is essentially a unitary concept. Thus they are bound, and thus they should be.
In the community of hospitals, teaching hospitals hold pride of place. Reasons abound. The rigorous academic methods, uncompromising ethics, mandatory peer reviews, audits, accountability, accreditations and research make teaching hospitals unique centres of advanced, safe, and holistic health care – a far cry from corporate hospitals. No doubt, at PSG, we are inspired by our motto of providing community health through education and health care. The silver jubilee is a point in time for us to look back to look beyond. As we look beyond we stand rooted in the PSG panchsheel (five values) of ethics, science, quality, holistic care, and affordability. The panchsheel that defines us and the panchsheel that drives us. Thus we are, and that is how we will be. Now and forever and ever.
