HYDERABAD: GMR Varalakshmi CARE Hospital, a wing of the GMR Varalakshmi Foundation (GMRVF), said it had achieved the milestone of conducting 30 neurosurgeries in six months. The hospital's neurosurgery department, inaugurated in February 2023, serves 280 villages in the surrounding areas.
The hospital was established in April 2011, in collaboration with the CARE Group of Hospitals, and has treated more than 8.85 lakh patients and performed approximately 37,000 surgeries.
Dr Ashwani Lohani, CEO, GMRVF, said, "GMRVF has been relentlessly working towards providing a meaningful contribution to the life of the people, especially those from economically weaker substrata.
The neurosurgery department has been instrumental in saving the lives of nearby villagers who otherwise had to travel 60-70 km for even a consultation.
GMR Varalakshmi CARE Hospital has brought major health services to the doorstep of these people, with expensive surgeries like craniotomy, and spinal surgeries being performed free of cost with the support of government schemes and with our fully equipped OTs and ICUs Services.”
A statement said the hospital had five operation theatres, lab services which include biochemistry, clinical pathology, cytology, haematology, histopathology, microbiology, and radiology services round the clock. The facility provides for free blood transfusion for children with thalassemia and sickle cell anaemia.
The hospital also boasts of facilities such as a modern blood bank with a component facility and a 24-hours pharmacy and ambulance service for the patients.
GMRVF serves as the corporate social responsibility arm of the GMR Group. Over the past decades, GMRVF has been instrumental in serving the economically weaker section of society by providing them health care facilities, upskilling them through specially designed institutes, and helping them attain employment.
