Princess Durru Shehvar Children's and General Hospital

Princess Durru Shehvar Children's and General Hospital is a historic charitable hospital in Hyderabad, Telangana, named in honour of Princess Durru Shehvar, the daughter-in-law of the last Nizam of Hyderabad. Located in the Purani Haveli area, the hospital has served Hyderabad's population — particularly underprivileged children and families — for decades as a charitable healthcare institution.

The hospital combines a paediatric focus with general medical and surgical services, providing accessible care to residents of the old city of Hyderabad and surrounding areas. Its charitable mandate ensures that care is available to patients regardless of their financial status.

Princess Durru Shehvar Hospital provides paediatric care (outpatient and inpatient), general medicine, general surgery, gynaecology and obstetrics (mother and child care), neonatology, emergency and casualty services, and basic diagnostic services. The hospital focuses on essential healthcare delivery to underserved communities in Hyderabad's old city, with particular emphasis on child health, nutrition, vaccination, and maternal care.

The hospital provides inpatient beds across paediatric, maternity, and general medical wards, operation theatres for general and obstetric surgery, a neonatal care unit, a diagnostic laboratory and pathology services, radiology and ultrasound imaging, a 24-hour emergency and casualty department, and outpatient consultation facilities. The charitable nature of the institution ensures services are delivered at minimal or no cost to eligible patients.

Princess Durru Shehvar Hospital primarily serves Hyderabad's local population, especially children and families from economically disadvantaged communities in the old city area. The hospital's historical significance, charitable mandate, and accessible location make it a trusted institution in the Hyderabad community. English-speaking staff are available for consultations and administrative matters.
