MY VISUALIZATIONOF GREAT
HEALTHCARE CENTERS
Dear friends, I visualize a great healthcare center with the following characteristics: 1. Patient is the most important person in the hospital.
When the patient enters, the hospital presents an
angelic look and all the team members of the hospital
always wear smiles. The patient feels that “I am going
to get cured”.
2. The hospital consumes less electricity and less water by
adopting green building for all modernization tasks.
The choice of the power source is solar and wind.
3. The hospital premises are totally noise free.
4. All the test reports and treatment schedule get
attached to the data base of the patient through
Electronic Medical Record without the need of the
patient or the relatives to search for the reports. The
data-base is updated and authenticated every hour.
5. Maintains the database of all the cases treated by the
hospital in the past which are easily retrievable.
6. Patient is not subjected to diagnostic pain.
7. The surroundings of the hospital is green with full of
trees with seasonal flowers.
8. Further expansion of the hospital is in vertical mode
leading to fast movement of the patient and doctors
for medical treatment.
9. There is no case of hospital induced infection to the
patients due to bio-contamination.
10.The patients feel that this is the best place to get
treated.
11.The hospital is fully IT enabled leading to virtual
connectivity of the patient to the doctor, nurse and
the chief of the hospital 24x7. Hospital is also
networked with other hospitals nationally and
internationally for seeking expert medical advice on
unique cases.
12.The daily medical conference, attended by the Chief
of the hospital, doctors, nurses, paramedics, and
relatives of patients of unique cases, reviews
problems of the patient and find integrated solutions.
JUNE - JULY 2010
There was a meeting of cured patients, their doctors and a few social workers in a
hospital. One important point emerged during the interaction was, that the
relationship between the patient, doctor, nurses and paramedics extends to
patients’ family. This in turn, transmits effective messages from one family to
another family on advice to prevent diseases, necessity of periodic checks, the
dietary habits and the need for life style changes including exercise for good health.
Actually, I believe this good contact between the doctor, nurses, paramedics and
patients is very valuable. I request every one of you to become a teacher for the
families of patients. For reaching the unreached in distant villages in this region –
I would suggest creation of tele-medicine facility through satellite connectivity by the
Vaatsalya Hospital.

5. I will deliver quality care with high standards irrespective of
whom I am treating.
6. I will not introduce any diagnostic pain.
7. If any patient is unhappy with my treatment, I will find out the
causes and treat the patient with utmost care, free of cost.
8. I will work with integrity and succeed with integrity.

CONGRATS TO THE ENTIRE TEAM FOR THE SUCCESSFUL ENTRY AND LAUNCH INTO ANDHRA PRADESH
MESSAGE FROM THE MEDICAL DIRECTOR
Venkatapadma Hospital, Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh, became a
Vaatsalya Hospital on 28th March 2010. Everyone in Vaatsalya should
feel proud not only because we have entered Andhra Pradesh to spread
Vaatsalya’s affordable quality revolution but also because we have a
visionary paediatrician partner, Dr. Venkateshwara Rao, to help us spread
our wings in Andhra Pradesh. Dr. Venkateshwara Rao, also affectionately
called as “MVR” started VenkataPadma Hospital in 1992 along with his
wife, Dr. Padmakumari, a gynaecologist. Together they had cared for
their patients with dedication and love combined with quality and faith.
The result their hospital became one of the well-respected hospitals in the
entire Andhra Pradesh and they put smiles on an incredible 4 Lakh
patients so far. Thank You Dr. Venkateshwara Rao and Dr. Padmakumari

In today’s marketplace, healthcare is about more than
just good outcomes. It’s about the patient experience.
And if patients do not get an experience that satisfies,
they will look elsewhere. The healthcare market has
become fiercely competitive, with hospitals battling for
the patient’s attention while they work simultaneously
to operate profitably and provide the best possible
patient care.
Vaatsalya, was started with a sole objective of making
quality healthcare available and reachable where it is
required the most – in the smaller cities and towns of
India. What started as a lofty dream today has taken
shape of a very tangible reality. At Vaatsalya we
recognise that a satisfied Patientis probably the best
brand ambassador. Therefore being attuned to the
patients’ needs and providing them with best possible
care occupies the priority position in all our activities.
Addressing the patients’ apprehensions and gaining
their confidence, so that they keep coming back for
any healthcare need of their family has become a
unanimous goal. Achieving this goal in the long-run,
however, requires ongoing "behind-the-scenes"
attention to patient needs and preferences, competitive
healthcare offerings, the development of differentiating
services, physician relationship building and more.
Each Vaatsalya hospital epitomizes the Vaatsalya way
of life, which emphasizes three basic tenets – of quality,
affordability and honesty in all our dealings. The smiles
of our patients stand testimony to our operating principle.
When it comes to healthcare business development,
Vaatsalya has a proven track record. Working in close
collaboration with hospitals and healthcare providers
“You can trace our path of
progress, with the trail of
healthy smiles that we have
left behind”Rocky Philip

“Enlightening information,
a straightforward approach
and the ability to energize
our business plan in ways
never imagined before, is
the essence of the Vaatsalya BD Team. “B.S. Venkatesh
Head-Business Development
“Hospitals require public
relations activities to
differentiate them from
competitors, provide two
way communication
between the society and the
hospital, and assist in creating a positive perception of the
hospital image and culture. “ Dheerendra PandariAsst. Manager - Public Relations
“Hospital marketing is a
focused activity that
involves connecting
patients, physicians, and
hospitals in mutual
relationships. Many people
ask, "How can you 'market' a hospital?" But marketing a
hospital is no different than "marketing" any other
institution.
There are audiences.
There are needs.
There is a mission statement.
With these ingredients, there is clearly a need for analysis,
strategy and communication to make the most of limited
resources, while providing compassionate health care.”Murali N Rao
Manager - Marketing
VAATSALYA TIMES SPOT LIGHT
around the country, we have created and implemented
strategies that are flexible, cost-effective and deliver
measurable results. Of course, healthcare is about
healing. But healthcare is also a very complicated and
competitive business, built on the foundation of a good
service mix, supported by continuous attention to the
delivery of a patient experience that is extraordinary
and also by effective marketing.
Agility is an important attribute for any hospital. But
agility is absolutely critical for a fast growing healthcare
network, where mergers seem to happen overnight and
the balance of power among competing hospitals is
constantly shifting. A healthcare network has to be able
to quickly switch gears in such an ever-changing
market. In this market scenario, we at Vaatsalya, aim to
be a strong and one-of-its-kind of hospital network
comprising of 100 hospitals by the year 2015.
As Vaatsalya Hospital opens its very first hospital in the
state of Andhra Pradesh at Vizianagaram, we are
assaulted by a plethora of emotions which range from
admiration to a strong sense of fulfilment. Because our
Journey which begun in 2004 is dotted with a number
of anecdotal moments, which have challenged and
cajoled us to perfect the art of providing quality yet
affordable healthcare to the masses.
As we smile and reminisce on our entry into Andhra
Pradesh, we are awakened to the fact that we are now
in a State which will chisel us further to perfection, and
take Vaatsalya to greater heights of achievements, as
we expand to other parts of the country.
Healthcare is a promise,That patients will be well cared for...
That they will be attended to by skilled practitioners...
That they will have easy access to services that empower them...
That they will have interactions at every touch point that make them feel confident, comforted
and respected.

VAATSALYA TIMES
If you had visited Vaatsalya’s head office in Bangalore in the
past six months you might have seen a European lady busily
working like everybody else on her computer. She is Irena
Radeva, a business student at University of Copenhagen,
Denmark. Irena is not from Denmark but from the beautiful
Bulgaria, which is known for its roses and rose oil (attar).
Irena is pursuing her M.Sc. with a major in Business
Administration and Economics. She has previously worked
with Red Cross , Denmark and the World Health
Organization. She came to do an internship through an
international organization called “Artemisia” which finds
internships for students interested in Sustainable Business
Development. At Vaatsalya, she worked with Dr. V.
Renganathan, VP, Alliance, in further developing Dr.
Renganathan’s idea for a health microinsurance plan,
called “Vaatsalya Health Insurance Plan”. Renganathan
says “Irena helped getting very good journal articles through
University of Copenhagen’s online library, which helped us
educate ourselves about health microinsurance”. Here is
an excerpt of an interview of Irena with Manasi.
Why did you choose Vaatsalya for Internship?
“My belief that personal achievement does not simply come
with financial profit but rather it is the combination of profit
with creating social value that brought me to Vaatsalya. I
learnt about Vaatsalya in the Social Business database of
Artemisia and was inspired by the local and international
attention it gets for driving social change within the Indian
health system”, says Irena.
Give us a brief description about your project.
In India, only a limited amount of health insurance is
available, which mostly covers in-patient (IP) expenses only
and is largely inaccessible to low-income families. Also the
most common illnesses in the low-income group are due to
malnutrition, water contamination, and lack of sanitation
which can be treated in an out-patient (OP) setting. With this
in mind VHIP is designed to have outpatient coverage for
doctor consultation, medicines and diagnostics and
in-patient (hospitalization) coverage as well.
The low incomes and imperfect tax instruments in India
mean that public resources are unable to satisfy the needs of
the citizens. VHIP
has the advantage
of being able to
provide coverage
despite India’s
i n s t i t u t i o n a l
w e a k n e s s e s .
W i d e s p r e a d
availability of health
insurance would help
both drive demand
for services and provide additional revenue to improve the
overall quality of care. Health insurance like VHIP can help
expand India’s options to cover health care costs and lay the
foundation for further development towards universal
coverage.
As an Artemisia Fellow what else you were required to do?
I network with other trainees and entrepreneurs across
different businesses in India that are connected by the spirit
of social value and present Vaatsalya to social entrepreneurs
as a global example for innovation in health care.
Vaatsalya has been discussed in networking events in
Mumbai, India and Sao Paolo, Brazil.
Did you get a chance to explore India and how have you been able to adjust to Vaatsalya and the Indian culture?
My experience in Vaatsalya is well balanced with learning
more about India and Indian culture. I get to travel in all
parts of this incredible country and everywhere I go I see
breath-taking landscape and I meet the nicest people. India
has puzzled everyone and admittedly the country’s magic
works on me as well. I have learned to never ask “why” and
to trust that the flow of events will always lead to something
good. It can be frustrating at times when Western ways do
not work in Indian reality but it is also an eye-opening
challenge that makes me think out of the box in every action
I take, even the basics like taking a train or going to the
supermarket. I will go back to Europe inspired by the
Vaatsalya’s spirit and taking a small piece of India home
with me.

Uniform means a set of standard clothing
worn by members of an organization. These
help us, stand out in a crowd so that we are
easily recognized and also distinguished with
the service we impart. These uniforms not
only make us feel proud but also depict
organisation culture and values. Service
industry, particularly healthcare are more
united and eager to serve the customers,
when the workforce is wearing a pleasant
uniform the customers approach them more
confidently.
If the work force wears the same clothes to the
work place then they share a feeling of
commonness and belonging, which other
wise gets very difficult to achieve. Uniform
brings every one to the same platform, no
matter how rich or poor he or she is and thus
inculcating a feeling of equality amongst
those wearing the uniform.

A nurse provides emotional and physical care to the sick and disabled, and they enter our life from the moment we are born to the very last moment of most of our lives. Nursing is a profession which requires real commitment and selfless hard work. This profession also requires a lot of love, passion and perseverance than most other jobs do. Every year May 12th is observed as the International Nurses Day to honor the commitment and self less hard work of the nursing community.
Origin:Dorothy Sutherland, an official in the U. S Department of Health, Education and Welfare was the first to propose to proclaim the day in 1953 to observe the valuable contributions of the nurses. But, it was only in the year 1965 that the Nurses day started to be celebrated by the International Council of Nurses (ICN). On January 1974 it was decided to celebrate May 12th, Florence Nightingales birthday as the day to honor the nurses and May 9 to 15 was decided to be observed as the Nurses' Week. This day was chosen so as to remember the contribution she did to mankind during the World War II which reduced the death rate of wounded soldiers. The Lady with the Lamp as
NURSES DAY CELEBRATED @ VAATSALYAF l o r e n c e Nightingale is called is rightfully designated as the founder of modern nursing.The job of nurses involves a lot of patience and tolerance as they have to deal with a number of diseases and different patients on every day. They are also required to see to the patient's health day and night, monitoring their progress and recovery. The nurse also helps to maintain the emotional well being of the patient by taking care of them with respect and care. Everyone knows nurses are the face of a hospital and Vaatsalya is no exception and on behalf of everyone at Vaatsalya a big Thank you to you and may you continue to serve patients at Vaatsalya with high level of dedication / commitment.
“I think one's feelings waste themselves in words; they ought all to be distilled into actions which bring results.”
Florence Nightingale
Warm Wishes to all the nurses at Vaatsalya and I hope all of you
will excel in this noble profession. With you as the backbone of
Vaatsalya, we aspire to excel in the healthcare delivery and
become the best hospital chain in India.

Hubli: “Work with integrity and succeed.” That was what the former
President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam had to say to doctors at an interaction
here on Sunday.
Participating in the inauguration of Vatsalya Hospital in Hubli and an
interaction with medical professionals, the former President said that
doctors should inculcate six virtues — generosity, ethics, tolerance,
perseverance, concentration and knowledge — he said.
Emphasising the need for generosity among medical practitioners, Dr.
Kalam asked doctors to treat patients before asking them to complete
formalities. “A doctor saves lives first,” he said. Medicine and
compassion should go hand in hand, he added. He asked nurses to
greet patients with a smile, as it plays a major role in curing ailments.
Referring to the lack of interest among doctors to take up teaching, he
said that teachers should be given a good salary and pleasant work
atmosphere. “One should not be forced into the profession. Those
taking up teaching should have a passion for it,” he added.

No-frills does not mean qualitycost trade off," cautions Vaatsalya's Founder & CEO Dr Ashwin Naik. "To us, a decent private room need not necessarily mean a room with an LCD TV; there could just be an ordinary television with local channels. In most locations we may not even provide an air-conditioner but we do not compromise on the quality of medical equipment," he says.
