Princess Durru Shehvar Children's & General Hospital (PDSC&GH) is a non-profit, non-governmental hospital in Hyderabad, Telangana, India.[1]

History

[edit]

The Princess Durru Shehvar Children's Medical Aid Society was established in 1983, which opened the hospital in 1989, primarily as a children's hospital.[2] The foundation stone was laid by its namesake, Princess Durru Shehvar, mother of the society's chair Prince Muffakham Jah.[3] The hospital later began to provide medical care to pregnant women, as well as prenatal and postnatal care,[3] and eventually expanded its services to become a general hospital.[citation needed] The society opened a college of nursing in 2003.[2]

Facility and care

[edit]

Medical services are subsidised by the government to make the healthcare affordable and accessible to all sections of society.

The 200-bed facility is spread over an area of 11,300 square yards (9,400 m2). Additionally, there is an 8-bed pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) with a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) equipped with neonatal ventilators, phototherapy units and centralised cardiac monitors. The intensive and critical care department offers 24-hour services to all patient groups with chronic disease conditions requiring life support.

This hospital is accredited by National accreditation board for hospitals and Healthcare providers Nabh.
