Chennai to Vellore CMC Hospital Taxi: Patient & Attendant Guide

Chennai to Vellore CMC: Compassionate medical transport

Christian Medical College (CMC) Vellore treats over 2 million patients annually. Many travel from Chennai for specialised care. Sigivahan understands medical travel is different—it requires compassion, not just transportation.

Why medical travel needs special attention

• Patients may need reclining seats or wheelchair access
• Early morning OPD appointments require precise timing
• Post-surgery return needs smooth, careful driving
• Attendants are stressed—clear communication matters
