Hyderabad: To provide affordable healthcare to senior citizens, Hyderabad-based Yashoda Hospitals, on the occasion of India's 75 years of Independence, launched a health package for Rs. 75 for all senior citizens aged 75 years and above.
The package includes CBP, RFT, lipid profile, LFT, RBS, ECG, and consultation with a dietician and physiotherapist. The package will be available till 31 August 2021 and can be availed at all three units of Yashoda Hospitals in Somajigida, Secunderabad, and Malakpet with prior booking.
Launching the "Freedom to Good Health" package, Dr. Pavan Kumar Gorukanti, the director of Yashoda Hospitals, said, "As a part of our efforts to facilitate basic healthcare, we realize that it is essential to make it accessible to senior citizens in our nation. So, we have launched this special package at Rs. 75 only. As people grow old, their bodies become weak and they become more prone to life-threatening diseases. Thus, regular health checks are the need of the hour."
He added that the objective for launching the health package was to ensure that senior citizens get timely medical advice and have the opportunity to get specialized treatment or surgery whenever required. "Needless to say, such health checks help an individual monitor their own health, diagnose any ailment at an early stage, and allow for better care," Dr. Gorukanti said.
