Mission

Our mission is to provide world class health care in a patient centric approach at affordable prices.

Philosophy

The situation of current healthcare is far from ideal – care is often fragmented. A patient goes from one physician to another to figure out his or her medical issues, and then often needs to put together the various pieces of the puzzle. Such lack of coordination among providers results in nobody looking at the overall patient’s health and well-being. To complicate things further, inordinate number of tests are often ordered in labs and imaging, often without good reason.

Hence, with Promed hospital, we bring an expert team with the right adjunct lab and imaging facilities under one umbrella – family medicine and primary care who work in close conjunction with our specialists. We promise to look at our patient as a human being and partner with him/her for better health.

Starting with changing our name to reflect our philosophy, we are now PROMED – indicated what we are “pro” patients and “pro” evidence-based medicine.

While delivering these services, the hospital will uphold an unwavering commitment to the highest standards of quality, ethical behavior, and personal care.

In India, the advantages that modern service industries have enjoyed because of globalization and technological advancement, has not been utilized to deliver honest, caring healthcare solutions that combine the amenities and automation of this age, with the familiar care that a family doctor used to bring. At Promed, we aim to change this, and will ensure that modern methods, practices and technology help us provide patients with easy access to high quality, low cost healthcare and preventive services.
