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...

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...
