Academic Activities

Our Vision for Quality Pediatric Urology Care at NU Hospitals

Dr. Prasanna says that at NU Hospitals, the doctors spend time with the patient and examine his or her condition thoroughly, explaining in detail to the patient and his or her family about the diagnosis, the medical condition, the treatment course, the long-term follow-up plan, etc.

Decisions are not taken individually – rather collective decision-making is carried out. Standard operating protocols of international standards are followed. Explanation of the treatment course and the medical condition and so on is facilitated through audio-visual aids, videos and NU Hospitals Public Information Brochures (PIB's). Also, the hospital's discharge reports and discharge summaries are detailed and in-depth.

Effective and compassionate medical care, he says, can be ensured by spending time with the patients, following systems and protocols and ensuring training at all levels, such as for the doctors, labs personnel, nurses, paramedical staff and so on. This is to ensure quality at every level.

Evidence-based medicine (EBM), which is followed at NU Hospitals, enables effective medical care. EBM is a way of practicing medicine that is based upon the best evidence that is already available. Published results of studies that have been conducted are looked at and the treatment modality is then decided, based upon the evidence.
