The rising burden of chronic degenerative diseases like Diabetes and coronary heart disease pose the greatest threat to the Indian population. Recently, the World Health Organization has declared India as the country with the largest number of Diabetic individuals in the World.In the next fifteen years India is expected to lead the World in the number of cardiovascular deaths as well.

There is bound to be increasing demand for the services of medical professionals well trained in the prevention and management of diabetes and its complications.

Medical University, Chennai, is designed such that, the trained Diabetologist will be well-equipped to prevent the onset of disease in a given population by creating awareness through continuous medical education, to increase the life span of Diabetic subjects by offering proper treatment methodologies and regular checkups and to reduce the incidence of complications.
