The hospital provides very good quality care, priced at the premium end by local market standards. However, the facility uses cross-subsidization to offer lower-cost care for poor patients from the surpluses generated from wealthy patients (as stated by Dr. Evita Fernandez, Managing Director, Fernandez Hospital at Healthcon, 2009, Hyderabad).
