Which corporate hospital in Hyderabad has the best Facebook Cover image? “Integrity is the ability to stand by an idea.” ― Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead Most of you thought it is Apollo Health City's Facebook cover image but it's not. Surprised? Read on. Though Apollo Health City Facebook page has 65k followers, using a generic campaign creative on its cardiac treatment expertise looks vague. My feeling is that either a patient or a star heart transplant surgeon should have been at the heart of the cover image. In case of the latter, my bet is on Dr Alla Gopala Krishna Gokhale, Cardio Thoracic Surgeon, who could have been featured instead but the management may be wary of a doctor becoming bigger than the hospital. This creative goes well with the violet color of Care Hospitals but the designer should have run a spell-check on November! By the way, lung cancer being the most common cancer in Indian men could be factually incorrect. It s...

Surprising to know that Apollo Hospital doesn't lead in organ donation in Hyderabad.
Actually, it is the hospital topping the Jeevandan charts in Hyderabad when it comes to organ donation but what's surprising is how the Nation al Organ & Tissue Transplant Orgnization (NOTTO) awarded Yashoda Hospitals, Hyderabad with 'Best Hospital in Organ Donation'.
Actually, it is the hospital topping the Jeevandan charts in Hyderabad when it comes to organ donation but what's surprising is how the Nation
The award was recently collected by Dr G. Rav inder Rao, the Chairman of Yas hoda Hospital Group at an event organised by at Constitution Club Annexe, New Delhi from Honourable Minster of State for Heath & Family welfa re(HFW) Ms. Anupriya Patel.
The event was also attended by the Health Minstrer of Tamil Nadu along with CEO of Jeevandan organisation Dr. G.Swarnalatha of Telangana Prof. Vimal Bhandari the director NOTTO & Prof. Jagdeesh Prasad of DGHS.
So, does it mean getting consent from the kin of brain dead patients is now considered an easy job by NOTTO and that's why they selected Yashoda hospital for the award?
Begun a decade ago Yashoda has taken up Liver, Kidney,Heart, lung transplants in a big way. With a special emphasis on saving patients with life- threatening Complete liver failure, Chronic Kidney Disease, Heart failure. Yashoda Hospitals Group has established separate centers for these key organ transplants Surgeons trained, worked with prestigious national and international medical centers are conducting organ transplants on regular basis throughout the year, read a statement from Yashoda.
No doubt, Yashoda hospital is taking up cadaver transplants but ignoring the better player i.e Apollo Hospital for converting brain dead patients into organ donors is definitely in bad taste.
Dr G.Ravinder Rao Chaiman of the Hospitals group said in a statement: “ Yashoda Group of Hospitals organised an Organ Donation Campaign for the second time recently with association with Jeevandan. Our common objecti ve is to promote massive organ donation and make maximum availability & utilisa tion of cadaver organs in two Telugu states.”
Well, NOTTO is wrong this time.

How a Corporate Hospital in Hyderabad Was Stumped by a Patient?
Social media is a great leveler for digitally literate patients thronging corporate hospitals for treatment these days. If your ground staff fails in convincing them about what goes into the billing part, your game is over as what may follow next is exposing your dirty linen in public. Unlike violence against doctors or vandalism by kin of patients in a hospital, even their well-connected contacts and powerful connections can't save from loss of reputation from the digital space if they fail to follow minimum common standards in dealing with patients. Or else, it is better to completely do away with 'Review' button from your Facebook Page, like what Continental Hospitals has done! This happened with Upendra Chaturvedi at a corporate hospital in Hyderabad recently, forcing the former to take to the hospital's review page to narrate his woes. He raised a very pertinent question as to why some investigations are common for insured patients at...
