An initiative to care for the elderly has been launched in Hyderabad

Care Hospitals and Aster Prime Hospitals on Thursday launched ‘Pranaam’, a senior healthcare initiative aimed at improving access to personalized and continuous care for older adults. The program seeks to support older patients outside of hospital treatment by focusing on continuity of care, emotional well-being, caregiver support and healthy ageing.

Pranaam was designed to simplify healthcare for older patients who often face challenges navigating hospital services, coordinating investigations, attending follow-up appointments and managing chronic conditions, especially those who live alone or depend on caregivers.

Hyderabad District Collector Priyanka Ala said that the Telangana government is implementing several measures for senior citizens and that initiatives like Pranaam complement these efforts by promoting dignity, continuity of care, emotional support and healthy aging through collaboration between the government, healthcare providers and communities.

“Such initiatives reflect genuine care for our elders. I will extend my support to promote this program throughout the community so that more senior citizens can benefit from its services,” said Jubilee Hills MLA Naveen Yadav.
