Many families believe that healthcare is expensive and inaccessible to them in India. But Khan Sir, a high-profile teacher behind his initiatives in social fields, now enters the news for something else. His Patna hospital has redefined affordable medicine by providing essential medical treatments at prices that are hardly imaginable. The hospital is proving that quality healthcare need not come with a hefty price tag with blood tests starting at ₹7 and dialysis starting at ₹350.
The hospital has made available a suite of medical tests and treatments for very low prices:
Blood test: ₹7.
ECG: ₹25.
X-Ray: ₹35.
Ultrasound: around ₹100.
Dialysis: starting from ₹350.
These are much lower than what most private hospitals charge, making health care affordable to people from low-income backgrounds. This initiative is a game changer: For families who often avoid medical tests due to high costs.
Khan Sir is also said to have plans to open four more specialised hospitals in Patna. Hospitals will serve various parts of the general population, allowing patients access to a broad spectrum of medical care that is cost-effective. His vision is to build a healthcare system where no one is denied treatment because of money. He hopes to expand on the model and reach others and provide a sustainable example of low-cost healthcare.
And already, the hospital is seen as a ray of light for thousands of families. In a country when medical costs drive millions into debt, those are the kinds of projects that can help ease fiscal pressures and lead to better public health. Affordable health care is early diagnosis, timely treatment and fewer complications. It also helps to build trust in the healthcare system, where the experience of the practice of medicine is often accompanied by compassion and service.
Khan Sir’s hospital in Patna is more than just a hospital, it’s a move toward access to health care for all. By providing critical services at minimal costs and setting a model to be scaled, he is redefining India’s health care systems. For the citizens of Patna, and perhaps across India, what this endeavor shows is healthcare affordable and effective when inspired by a service in mind.
