Caspian Healthcare is a Small Healthcare Organisation registered with the DMHO. Investigations are done by the laboratory in this building, so results do not wait until morning, and medicines are dispensed from our own pharmacy at any hour.
What we admit for
Heart
- Acute decompensated heart failure, for stabilisation
- Congestive cardiac failure, for decongestion
- Medical stabilisation before angiography or bypass at a tertiary centre, for the days between the decision and the slot
Dobutamine. Some patients with heart failure need a dobutamine infusion for a day or two to get them through a bad patch. It is given in a monitored bed, with a cardiac monitor and nursing through the night and a doctor on the premises at every hour. This is not intensive care. A patient in shock, or one who needs ventilation or dialysis, is stabilised and moved. We would rather send you early than hold on.
Chest and infection
- Pneumonia and lower respiratory tract infections needing intravenous antibiotics
- Exacerbations of asthma and COPD that respond to treatment here
- Cellulitis and other soft tissue infections requiring intravenous treatment
- Fever needing observation and investigation
- Intravenous antibiotics and supportive care after surgery done elsewhere, so the course can be finished near home
Kidney and fluids
- Prerenal acute kidney injury, for fluids
- Fluid overload in chronic kidney disease, for decongestion
- Dehydration and severe gastroenteritis needing intravenous fluids
Blood, gut and diabetes
- Anaemia, for transfusion and for the workup that ought to go with it. Transfusion treats a number; the cause is a separate question and we ask it
- Mild pancreatitis, and care after an ERCP done elsewhere. Mild means no organ failure. Severe pancreatitis needs intensive care and belongs somewhere with it
- Uncontrolled diabetes, for insulin adjustment and monitoring
Stroke
If a stroke has already been diagnosed and imaged and is a minor one, we admit for observation, blood pressure and sugar control, secondary prevention and a physiotherapy referral.
We do not have a CT scanner. If a stroke is happening right now, the clock is the treatment, and you should go straight to a hospital with a scanner and a stroke pathway. Call 108. Arriving here first costs you time you cannot get back.
If you are unsure whether a condition can be managed here, call +91 89193 41154 and ask. We will tell you honestly, including when the answer is that you should go elsewhere.
How an admission actually works
You are admitted under a named consultant, and that is whose plan the admission follows. They see you once or twice a day. Between those visits a duty medical officer and the nursing staff look after you, and they are here at every hour including through the night. That is the honest description of a five-bed hospital and it is worth knowing before you arrive rather than after.
If your case needs a second speciality, that consultant comes to the bedside and sees you here. You are not moved, and you are not sent across the city between appointments while you are unwell.
Specialists who come to the bedside
For patients already admitted:
- Nephrology, Dr. Praveen Kumar Etta
- Medical oncology, Dr. Nadeem Ahmed, including day care chemotherapy given here
- Neurology, Dr. Mohd Mubashir Ahmed
- Neurosurgery, Dr. Mohammed Imran
- Rheumatology, Dr. Mohammad Irfan
- Radiology, Dr. Syed Maqsood Hussain
- Physiotherapy, Dr. Mohammed Amjad and team
These are on-call consultations for inpatients. They are not outpatient departments, so there is no clinic to walk into for them, and where a case needs the monitoring or the equipment of a tertiary centre we will still refer, as below.
Accommodation and tariff
| Accommodation | Patient beds | Attendant | Per day |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cubicle (two available) | 1 bed | Attendant bed provided | ₹4,500 |
| Ward | 3 beds | Chair beside the bed | ₹3,500 |
The tariff is the bed charge only. Consultant visits, investigations, procedures and medicines are billed separately. Ask at reception before admission and we will give you a written estimate for the expected length of stay. You can ask for an interim bill at any point during the stay, and we would rather you asked early than were surprised at discharge.
What a stay includes
- A bed with a cardiac monitor, and nursing observation through the night
- Daily review by your treating consultant
- Laboratory tests done in the building by Caspian Diagnostic Centre, most reported the same day
- Medicines dispensed from our own pharmacy
- Breakfast for the patient. Lunch and dinner are arranged by the family, following any diet advice we give you
- A written discharge summary and a scheduled follow-up before you leave
One attendant must stay with the patient
We ask that one adult family member stays with the patient throughout the admission. This is not a formality. In a unit of this size the attendant is part of how care actually works, and there are moments when we need a decision or a signature quickly.
Please read the Attendant Policy before admission. It covers who may stay, visiting hours, food and what we ask attendants not to do.
Medicines, tests and your own doctor
For an admitted patient, medicines and tests come from here. Medicines are dispensed by the pharmacy in this building and laboratory tests are done by the laboratory in this building. An outside pharmacy and outside lab testing are not used while a patient is admitted.
The reason is worth stating. The nurses work from one medication chart and one source, so nobody is guessing what a strip brought in from elsewhere actually is, or how it has been stored. Results have to be comparable with one another and available at three in the morning, which means one laboratory and one record rather than several. And a drug given into a vein is one you cannot take back. This is not a claim about what outside pharmacies sell. It is about the chain between the shelf and the patient, which inside the building we can account for and outside it we cannot.
The line is whether you are under treatment here. Admitted to a bed, or seen in our clinic and on a course we are running: the medicine comes from the pharmacy in this building. Somebody who is not under treatment here, who has walked in only to have an injection given on another doctor's prescription, brings what they have and we check it before it is given. An insulin or weight-loss pen you keep at home is yours to buy where you like. This rule is about a course being given here.
The other reason is money, and it is the honest one. A ward bed here is ₹3,500 a day and a cubicle is ₹4,500, and that is the whole bed charge. It is set at that figure because the pharmacy and the laboratory are part of how an admission is funded. Nothing is sold above the printed MRP, which is on the box you are handed, and the margin involved is the ordinary trade margin on the pack. If the bed is taken at that rate and then the medicines and the tests are bought elsewhere, the arithmetic stops working, and the bed charge is the first thing that would have to rise. We would rather write that down than put the bed charge up and say nothing about why.
Your own doctor is welcome at the bedside. If the family has a doctor they trust and would like their opinion, ask us. We will arrange for that doctor to meet Dr. Khizer or the treating consultant, go through the case with them, and we are open to their suggestions. A second registered opinion is something we would rather have than avoid.
What we ask is that the person is on a medical register. Someone who is not registered, however close to the family and however well meant, is not shown the case sheet and does not change the treatment. The plan is the treating consultant's responsibility and it is signed in their name, so it cannot be altered by anyone who does not carry that responsibility, and a case sheet is a confidential medical record rather than a document to be handed around.
What is not here, and where it is done instead
What tests are done here. X-ray is done at Caspian. Ultrasound is available for inpatients most of the time, and when the radiologist is occupied it goes out to Red Hills Diagnostic Centre, Lakdikapul, the same as CT. The laboratory is in the building. EEG and nerve conduction studies are done at Caspian. A technician comes here to do the test and a neurologist reports it.
| Test | Price |
|---|---|
| EEG | ₹1,800 |
| Nerve conduction study, 2 limbs | ₹2,000 |
| Nerve conduction study, 4 limbs | ₹3,000 |
A hospital this size cannot do everything, and pretending otherwise helps nobody. Here is the honest list, and the doctor or the centre each thing goes to. Where a procedure is needed we arrange it and send the clinical details ahead, rather than handing you a name and wishing you luck.
| Not available here | Where it is done | Under |
|---|---|---|
| CT scan | Red Hills Diagnostic Centre | |
| MRI | Vijaya Diagnostic | |
| PET CT | Tenet Diagnostics, Banjara Hills | |
| FNAC and biopsy | Red Hills Diagnostic Centre, Lakdikapul | Dr. Zia Ur Rahman Khan |
| Image-guided biopsy | Red Hills Diagnostic Centre, Lakdikapul | Dr. Syed Safi Ullah |
| Bone marrow biopsy | Arranged outside | Dr. Abdul Majed, haematopathology |
| Upper GI endoscopy | Arranged outside | Dr. Saaduddin Azmi |
| Coronary angiography and angioplasty | Renova Century Hospital | Dr. Akram Ali |
| Cancer surgery | Glenfield Hospital, Nampally | Dr. Syed Murtaza Ahmed, surgical oncology |

| Circumcision | Noble Healthcare, Kishan Bagh | Dr. Nawaz |
| Dialysis, emergency and planned | Emergency dialysis goes to Aster Hospital, Ameerpet. Planned or maintenance dialysis has several routes, including the Telangana state scheme Aarogyasri, and which route suits a patient is settled with them rather than fixed in advance | Dr. Praveen Kumar Etta, for emergency dialysis at Aster |
| Endocrinology | Diabetes, Thyroid and Hormones (DTH) Clinic, Mehdipatnam | Dr. M. A. Mujeeb Afzal |
| Diabetic foot and peripheral arterial disease. Dialysis access and chemotherapy port placement | Apollo Hospital, Santoshnagar, or Mythri Hospital, Mehdipatnam | Dr. Fayazuddin Md, vascular and endovascular surgery |
| Retina, including diabetic retinopathy | Eye Care Secunderabad Eye Hospital | Dr. Musaab Mohiuddin |
| Dermatology | Dermosphere Clinic, Malakpet, or Aster Hospital, Ameerpet | Dr. Mohammed Jubair Aquib, or Dr. Indira |
| Surgical gastroenterology and bariatric surgery | Renova Century Hospital, Banjara Hills | Dr. Aslam Baba, DrNB Surgical Gastroenterology |
| Urology | TX Hospital, Mehdipatnam | Dr. Hidayat Ullah |
| ENT | Bushra Clinic, Bazarghat | Dr. Ahmed Abdul Khabeer |
| Dentistry | Marwa Dental Clinic, Paramount Colony, Tolichowki | Dr. Md Samiuddin Ahmed |
| Obstetrics | Crescent Hospital, Mehdipatnam | Dr. Humera Sultana |
| Paediatric surgery | Arranged outside | Dr. Zakir, MCh |
| Blood bank. We hold no stock of blood | Surya Blood Bank, Himayatnagar | |
| Intensive care, ventilation, surgery, cardiac intervention | Saradamba Institute of Medical Sciences (SIMS), Vidyanagar | Dr. Wajahat Ali or Dr. Raghuram |
Emergency dialysis is under Dr. Praveen Kumar Etta, the same nephrologist who sees patients at the bedside here, so a patient who reaches dialysis that way is not starting again with a stranger.
A patient already under palliative care somewhere else stays there and we work with that team rather than move them. For our own patients both Mythri and Renova Bibi are open, and the choice is made on what suits the patient. The two differ in what they cost, and we will go through that with you when the time comes.
A PET CT at Tenet Diagnostics is about ₹12,000 as at August 2026. That is their charge and not Caspian's, and outside charges change.
When we refer onward
We are a hospital with five beds, not a tertiary centre
We do not have an intensive care unit, an operation theatre, a catheterisation lab, a CT scanner or an MRI.
Patients who need intensive care, surgery, cardiac intervention or a specialty we do not provide are assessed and stabilised here, and referred without delay to Saradamba Institute of Medical Sciences (SIMS), Vidyanagar, under Dr. Wajahat Ali or Dr. Raghuram, or to another appropriate centre. We arrange the transfer and send the clinical details ahead.
We would rather move a patient early than late, and we will tell you the moment we think a transfer is the right call.
Emergencies
Our urgent care is for non-critical problems. If you have chest pain, sudden weakness or difficulty speaking, a serious accident, heavy bleeding, unconsciousness or a seizure that will not stop, call 108 or go directly to the nearest hospital with emergency facilities. See our Urgent Care page for what we do and do not treat.
