Sri Ramakrishna Math, located in Chennai, is the first branch of the Ramakrishna Math in South India. The Math started this charitable dispensary in 1925 to render service to the poor and helpless patients in and around the locality. The late Rao Sahet Dr. B. Raghavendra Rao, a retired civil surgeon, placed his voluntary services at the disposal of the institution and undertook to meet the entire recurring expenditure of the work. The devoted and self-sacrificing service of other eminent doctors as well as devotees have enabled this dispensary to grow into a very useful center of medical relief and diagnostics. During its first year in functioning the total number of patients treated was only 970, whereas within the years 1999-2000 the number rose to 264,134. The address is below:
