Aster and CARE Hospitals launch Pranaam programme in Hyderabad

On July 31, 2026, Aster Hospitals and CARE Hospitals inaugurated the Pranaam programme in Hyderabad, Telangana. The launch was attended by Dr. Priyanka Ala, IAS, Collector & District Magistrate of Hyderabad, and Lions Clubs International Vice District Governor Narsimha Raju Dichpally, alongside senior executives of both hospital groups.

Pranaam is positioned as a holistic elder‑care ecosystem for India's more than 150 million senior citizens. It provides dedicated assistance before, during and after hospital visits, priority care pathways, caregiver‑inclusive consultations, a helpline, and community‑based activities such as chair yoga, walking groups and reading circles. The initiative is being rolled out across all CARE and Aster hospitals in Telangana and will expand to other states in the Aster DM Quality Care India II network.
