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]
