Sankara College of Nursing for Women
Creating the Next Generation of Nurses through Nursing EducationAt Sankara Healthcare Foundation, we believe that education is the cornerstone of long-term health and wellness for communities worldwide. In partnership with esteemed institutions like the Sankara College of Nursing for Women and other dedicated partners, we are committed to addressing critical healthcare gaps by empowering women with the skills and knowledge to become the next generation of nurses.
Education: Empowering Health Through Knowledge
Our mission is to uplift socially and economically challenged populations, particularly in rural areas, by providing access to quality education and training that transforms lives and strengthens healthcare systems.
In India, the current ratio of nurses stands at just 1.7 per 1,000 people—well below the World Health Organization’s (WHO) recommendation of 3 nurses per 1,000. Nurses are the backbone of the healthcare industry, delivering essential care and improving patient outcomes.
With India’s healthcare sector facing a growing demand for qualified professionals skilled in the latest medical technologies and specialized fields, our educational initiatives are more vital than ever.
Sankara College of Nursing for Women: A Beacon of Opportunity
The Sankara College of Nursing for Women, located in the rural heart of Kanchipuram District, is exclusively designed to empower first-generation educated women.
With 70% of its students hailing from rural villages, this college is a lifeline for those seeking to break barriers and enter the workforce as skilled healthcare professionals.
Our program provides qualitative training that meets and exceeds industry standards, ensuring that deserving women can build rewarding careers in healthcare.
Supported by an exceptional in-house faculty of highly competent and qualified educators, the college fosters an environment of learning and growth.
The curriculum is bolstered by hands-on clinical experience at Sankara Multi Specialty Hospital—a modern, 100-bed facility offering low- to no-cost major medical services to the surrounding population.
This affiliation with Dr. MGR Medical University ensures that trainees receive a comprehensive education, blending classroom learning with real-world practice to produce outstanding nursing graduates.
Why Nursing Education Matters
Nurses make up the majority of caregivers in the healthcare industry, playing a pivotal role in delivering quality treatment. By investing in nursing education, we address the pressing need for technically proficient professionals who can adapt to evolving medical advancements.
This initiative not only uplifts individual women but also strengthens entire communities by increasing access to skilled healthcare providers. Through our partnerships, we are sowing the seeds for a healthier, more equitable future.
