The Story in Brief
Care Hospitals and Aster Prime Hospitals launched 'Pranaam', a healthcare initiative for senior citizens in Hyderabad on Thursday. The programme focuses on personalised and continuous care, emotional well-being, caregiver support and healthy ageing beyond hospital treatment.
Hyderabad District Collector Priyanka Ala said the Telangana government has been taking several measures for senior citizens. Jubilee Hills MLA Naveen Yadav extended his support to promote the initiative across the community to benefit more elderly residents.
The Indian Opinion
'Pranaam' is a much-needed step, but the real test lies in execution. Many elderly in Hyderabad struggle with fragmented care, long queues and lack of coordination between hospitals. This initiative promises personalised treatment and emotional support, yet the government must ensure it reaches those without digital access or family support. Critics point out that similar schemes often remain on paper. The true measure of success will be how many seniors actually receive seamless follow-up care and home visits, especially those living alone in the city's sprawling suburbs. Will the programme deliver on its ground-level promise?
