Continental Hospitals has launched a new premium economy wing in Hyderabad, India, marking a new pattern of the facility in the country’s healthcare space.

The 50-bed premium economy wing provides private, single-patient cubicles, apart from all features of a quaternary care healthcare facility for INR 1,500.

Speaking on the launch of the new facility, Jennifer Larson — US Consul General Hyderabad, said: “It’s a truly remarkable facility and I congratulate each one of you! I’m sure it will be a wonderful resource for patients from all over.”

The premium economy wing will complement Continental Hospitals’ aim to become the best healthcare service provider.

Dr Guru N Reddy — Continental Hospitals Founder, Chairman, and Managing Director said: “Efficient planning of infrastructure and services, on par with private & deluxe rooms with elegantly-designed and aesthetically pleasing facilities at a very affordable cost is to make our facilities inclusive for everyone.

“I understand that for a large section of the population, finances resources remain marginal but that shouldn’t mean that they do not have access to world-class healthcare, and thus we’re proud to take this initiative.”

Founded in April 2013, Continental Hospitals is a multi-specialty, tertiary, and quaternary care facility in the Financial District of Hyderabad.

With over 40 specialties, the hospital is said to be India’s first hospital to receive gold-standard accreditation by QAI for WHO complaint patient-safety standards.

The key specialties at Continental Hospitals include oncology, orthopedics, gastroenterology, cardiology, multi-organ transplants, neuroscience, psychiatry and psychology, bariatrics and metabolic disorders, pulmonary and sleep medicine, and women and child care.
