The Growth
Through the years, with the untiring efforts of the doctors from four small dusty towns Omalur, Jalakandapuram, Tharamangalam and Elampillai, the association began to grow.
Monthly meetings were conducted first in houses of the doctors with makeshift projectors and sometimes even without them. Food was cooked in one of the doctors house and a simple dinner followed every monthly meet. The practitioners themselves took turns to present interesting cases and journals every month amongst themselves. The zeal to acquire more knowledge pushed this into a regular academic exercise.
After a few years, doctors from other specialities were called to share their knowledge with this crowd. And the monthly meeting on Wednesdays became a regular affair.
The meetings crossed 50, 100 and 150 soon with the membership base too swelling.
