Yashoda Hospitals, Somajiguda

History and background

Yashoda Hospitals, Somajiguda, is the first hospital of the Yashoda Group and started in 1994, following a small clinic set up in 1989 by Dr. G. Surendar Rao. Over three decades the group has expanded to branches in Somajiguda, Secunderabad, Malakpet and Hitec City. The Somajiguda unit was recognised as a Patient Friendly Hospital by AHPI, and the group has been ranked first in cadaveric organ transplantation by the Government of India and first in multispecialty hospitals at the Times Healthcare Achievers awards.

The hospital has 400+ beds, around 250 doctors and 500 nurses. Its centres of excellence cover heart and CT surgery, neurosciences, cancer, liver and multi-organ transplants, bones and joints, nephrology, robotic sciences, spine surgery, mother and child care and fertility, along with a very wide list of departments from ENT and gynaecology to plastic surgery, nuclear medicine and bariatric surgery. The group's transplant milestones include the first lung transplant in the Telugu states (2012) and a combined heart-lung transplant (2017).

Technology and facilities

Laboratory, diagnostic services and pharmacy operate around the clock. The hospital is NABH accredited and is the first in the region to introduce robotic surgery.

International patients

Yashoda offers international patient services, with its transplant programme ranking among India's top multi-organ programmes and a multidisciplinary team for dialysis, liver and kidney disease and paediatric transplants. Somajiguda is on Raj Bhavan Road in central Hyderabad.

How AlisPro MediTours supports your treatment

AlisPro MediTours is a medical travel coordination service, not a hospital. We do not provide medical treatment, and clinical decisions always rest with your treating doctors. What we do is make the journey to this hospital easier to plan and less stressful to manage.

After you send your medical reports through our enquiry form, our coordinators share them with the hospital's international patient team and help you obtain a written opinion and an estimated cost. If you decide to go ahead, we can help with the medical visa invitation letter, flight planning, airport pickup, accommodation near the hospital, local transport, interpreter support and appointment scheduling. During your stay we stay in touch with you and your family, and after you return home we help arrange follow-up consultations and access to your records.

Costs, package inclusions and waiting times vary by hospital, doctor and treatment, so we recommend asking for a written estimate that clearly states what is and is not included.

Before you travel

Preparation makes a big difference to how smoothly a medical trip goes. Gather your recent medical reports, imaging (with the discs or digital files), a list of current medicines and any previous operation summaries, and share them early so the hospital can give a realistic opinion before you travel.

Ask the hospital or your coordinator for the expected length of stay, the likely total cost and what it includes, whether a family member may accompany you, and what follow-up will be needed after you return home. Confirm the treating doctor's name, the accreditation of the department you will use and how emergencies are handled.

Most international patients enter India on a medical visa, which normally requires an invitation letter from the hospital. Check the validity of your passport, arrange travel insurance that covers medical travel where possible, and plan for extra days in case treatment or recovery takes longer than expected. Keep copies of all documents on your phone and in your luggage.
