Questions patients ask
What is the emergency number for Sree Suraksha Hospital?
Call +91 9666 469 911. It is answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and is also the number to call for the hospital ambulance.
Is the casualty open at night and on public holidays?
Yes. Casualty, ICU, ambulance, pharmacy, laboratory and radiology run 24 hours a day, every day of the year, including Sundays and festival holidays.
Do you have an ambulance, and how do I call it?
Yes. Call +91 9666 469 911 and say where you are and what has happened. Give a landmark near Pragathi Nagar or Kukatpally, not only an address, as it helps the driver reach you faster.
Do I need an appointment to come to casualty?
No. Walk in or arrive by ambulance at any time. Registration is done while treatment begins, and a relative can complete the paperwork afterwards.
Should I drive the patient myself or wait for the ambulance?
If the person is conscious, breathing normally and the journey is short, driving in is often quicker. Call the ambulance for a suspected spine or neck injury, chest pain, severe bleeding, unconsciousness, or when there is nobody able to drive safely. Either way, phone ahead so the casualty team is ready.
