The infrastructure, the equipment, the doctors, the hospital staff, the processes - everything is meant for the sake of the patient. The patient is at the centre of all the activities at NU Hospitals and it is made sure that he or she is treated with compassion. Further, the process of ensuring that the patient is at the centre of all the hospital's activities should be seamless and this is implemented through good teamwork between departments, personnel and teams. The core values of NU Hospitals are repeatedly emphasised to the doctors and the hospital staff in all activities and these values are therefore an integral part of the culture at NU Hospitals. Dr. Venkatesh says that in order to ensure effective medical care at NU Hospitals, periodic reviews are conducted. The senior doctors in each department always review every medical activity.
