A movement called ‘CARE’ took birth in the year 1997, when Padmashri Dr. B. Soma Raju led a team of medical professionals to set up the first CARE Hospital. It opened a new chapter in the history of health care. The driving force of Compassion, Concern, Care, coupled with single minded objective - the recovery of the patient is been the fountainhead of inspiration. Today, within a span of 10 years, CARE has emerged as the leading name in health care and has earned a reputation for humanitarian and self less service. But, most importantly, CARE has the undivided faith of millions.

The origins of CARE can be traced to 1983 when a team of cardiologists, led by Padmashri Dr. B Soma Raju, set up a synergy for professional excellence in the cardiology department of the Nizam’s Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS) in Hyderabad. The idea was to propel the cardiology department into one of the top centers in the country. The synergy gave momentum to the purpose and accelerated the birth of CARE 13 years later. The team collaborated with scientists to make healthcare affordable through the development of indigenous medical technologies. It was the development of India’s first coronary stent (Kalam-Raju stent) that inspired the creation of CARE Hospital in 1997 to nurture a model that makes quality medical care affordable and accessible.
