Hyderabad: Aarthi Scans and Labs, India’s largest integrated diagnostics provider, has announced an initiative to provide MRI scans at zero cost to genuinely deserving patients from economically disadvantaged backgrounds in Hyderabad. The initiative reinforces the organisation’s commitment to making quality diagnostic healthcare accessible to patients, irrespective of their financial circumstances.
Under the initiative, eligible patients in Hyderabad can avail themselves of a free MRI scan at the Aarthi Scans and Labs centre in Kondapur. The initiative is specifically aimed at individuals who require an MRI scan but are unable to afford the cost of the diagnostic investigation.
The free MRI facility will be extended to patients who meet the defined eligibility criteria, with preference given to individuals below the poverty line. Patients in Hyderabad can avail themselves of the facility through any of the following:
A referral note from a government medical college hospital doctor, along with the government referral slip.
A letter from an NGO confirming that the patient requires the scan.
A referral by an Aarthi Scans and Labs employee, where the employee can establish that the individual genuinely requires the scan and cannot afford even the organisation’s affordable pricing.
The initiative at the Kondapur centre in Hyderabad is aimed at addressing financial barriers that may prevent economically disadvantaged patients from accessing essential diagnostic investigations. By providing MRI scans free of cost to eligible patients, Aarthi Scans and Labs seeks to support timely diagnosis and improve access to advanced diagnostic services in the city.
Dr. Prasannaa Vignesh, Executive Director & Radiologist, Aarthi Scans and Labs, said, “At Aarthi Scans and Labs, our core vision has always been to make quality diagnostics affordable and accessible to everyone, irrespective of their financial status. This initiative is an extension of that value. While we work to keep diagnostics affordable for all, we also recognise that there are patients who cannot afford even that. For those who genuinely need an MRI, we want to remove that barrier altogether and provide the scan free of cost.”
The initiative further strengthens Aarthi Scans and Labs’ commitment to improving access to advanced diagnostic services for underserved communities. Through its presence in Hyderabad, the organisation continues to focus on making quality diagnostic care more accessible and affordable for patients across the city.
