Hyderabad hospital turns ‘WFH’ into ‘Work From Hospital’

The popular pandemic abbreviation ‘WFH’ (Work from Home) takes on another meaning at a hospital in Hyderabad — ‘Work From Hospital’.

To integrate healthcare and professional commitments, Yashoda Hospital Hitech City has unveiled dedicated workstations designed to help families caring for their loved ones undergoing treatment. They address the challenges faced by individuals juggling work responsibilities with family commitments during hospital stays.

Under this initiative, specially designated workspaces are equipped with essential amenities such as desks, chairs, power outlets and high-speed Internet access. Currently, four such workstations have been set up in the hospital’s outpatient area.

“Yashoda Hospitals is dedicated to not only delivering exceptional medical care but also enhancing the overall experience for patients and their families,” said director oft Yashoda Hospitals Pavan Gorukanti, adding that they introduced the dedicated work desks on the hospital premises to ease the challenges individuals face in balancing work obligations with supporting their loved ones in treatment.

By incorporating workspace facilities within the hospital environment, the hospital aims to establish a supportive ecosystem where families can fulfil their professional responsibilities without compromising the quality of care provided to their loved ones, added Dr. Pavan.
