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...
When Alemam from Yemen visits Maxcure Secretariat
Hyderabad seems to be on a fast-track to get the coveted medical tourism destination tag for visiting foreign patients in India. It is now not uncommon to see news reports of corporate hospitals featuring medical success stories of these international patients.
Maxcure Secretariat, formerly Mediciti Hospitals, has now joined the medical tourism bandwagon with a dedicated online service being made to international patients for facilitation. You can access the webpage here at their website.
In a recent case, Maxcure Secretariat doctors treated a patient from Middle East. The patient had come all the way with catheter attached (to divert his urine flow post an accident), in search of a hospital for urinary reconstruction.
, upon suggestion from friends and is now back to normal is heading back to his country. Skilled and qualified doctors at MaxCure have been treating international as well as local patients with World class facilities and infrastructure at affordable prices.
"We have done urinary reconstruction for this patient. Almost a year ago, 26-yr-old Alemam from Yemen fell on a sharp object due to which he sustained injuries in the perineum (below the genital organs) region. Post the injury, there was bleeding from his penis and couldn't pass urine. Doctors evaluated him and have done a suprapubic catheter procedure (SPC) to divert the flow of urine," said Dr. AV Ravi Kumar, Senior Consultant Urologist, MaxCure Hospitals.

Patient history
The patient had severe infections in the thigh and perineum. For the past 8 months, he had been passing urine through a catheter as two back-to-back surgeries he underwent in other countries for this problem, had failed.
Following which, he landed up at Maxcure Secretariat, where doctors evaluated his case and decided to perform open urethral reconstruction surgery.
"The entire procedure took 4 hours. We had done end-to-end urethral anastomosis and we kept per urethral silicon catheter. After one month, we had removed both urethral catheter and SPC. Now, the patient is passing urine normally," said a doctor.
Thank You Maxcure
"I am glad to be here in India. I have been suffering for almost a year now. I almost lost my hopes. But doctors here were very helpful. They explained the entire situation to me very well and helped me with my queries. I am back to normal and I cannot thank this team enough," said Alemam, the patient from Yemen.

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...
