Summary about Prof CMK Reddy...

Prof Chillakuru Muddu Krishna Reddy is well known as CMK Reddy is one of the
outstanding medical teachers of contemporary times, traveled widely in the
cause of medical education; conducted/ participated over 1000 CME programs on
various topics on medicine and medical education. His Sunday classes for the
past three decades, at Stanley Hospital, were very popular, with nearly 100% of
exam-going UG/ PG students attending, which are being continued even after his
retirement. He popularized teaching operative surgery through video, recording
over 60 of his own operations, adding his comments and explanations. To
encourage surgical students to develop interest in the subject of Vascular
Surgery, he instituted an endowment in the Medical University for awarding Prof
C M K Reddy Gold Medal, for MS (Gen & Ortho) PG students of our state. After
being in USA for five years, to leave such lucrative life, with an idea of settling in
India, to serve his countrymen (in 1970), at the time when no one was returning
from abroad, for want basic medical infrastructure, illustrates his patriotic zeal
and service consciousness. There are about 40 Medical fraternities and their
professional organizations in the state, including the Indian Medical Association
(IMA) and the Tamil Nadu Govt. Doctors’ Association (TNGDA), each functioning
within their limited scopes and spheres. As there was no forum to address the
common issues every single doctor faces, he mooted the idea of forming a
confederation involving all of them, numbering around 50,000 doctors. The
Dental fraternity, which has strength of about 10,000, expressed its desire to join
the group and add to its strength.
Accordingly the Federation of Medical Dental Associations of Tamil Nadu
(FEMDAT) was formed 15years ago, first of its kind in the entire country. In
recognition of his profound contributions for the welfare of the medical/ dental
professionals and for his relentless efforts to protect their rights and privileges,
while admitting their responsibilities, Prof Reddy was unanimously chosen to be
its president, which he continues now, enjoying the confidence of over 60,000
doctors in the state. He is the main architect of the proposed legislation by TN
Legislative Assembly, to regulate Clinical Establishments in the state, always
sphere headed movements by medical/dental fraternity, whenever the legitimate
rights and dignity of profession were at stake and liaison to solve any
confrontation by the profession with the government or private agencies, to
avoid crisis. As the Chairman of the Core Committee, he master-minded the
creation of a common collection/treatment for the safe disposal of bio-hazardous
waste from the hospitals of Chennai. In 2002, acknowledging his unstinted
services to the medical fraternity in various capacities for over two decades, he
was unanimously elected as the President for the Tamil Nadu Medical Council, by
the doctors of the state, to restore ethical standards and the noble public image
of the Medical profession in our state. He made a series of progressive reforms in
the functioning of the TN Medical Council, which was dormant for several
decades and created acute public awareness about its rights and responsibilities,
to monitor the moral and ethical values in medical profession and to initiate
appropriate disciplinary action against erring doctors, as it is done in the western
countries. He made registration of PG degrees compulsory (till then not done at
all, though it should have been done in accordance to law) and issued photo ID
cards to all the doctors in the state. As a busy Senior Consultant, to make himself
available to poor and under privileged, without monetary consideration coming
in the way, he started a FREE CLINIC in January 2004 to see all patients on every
Thursday (7am to 7pm) without consultation fees and providing lab services and
surgery for them if necessary, at 50% charges. Up till now over 10,000 poor
patients have been benefitted by his benevolence. This unique service was
personally blessed and inaugurated by His Holiness Sri Sri Sri Jagadguru Jayendra
Saraswathi Swamigal of Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam and so on...
