ECG at ₹25, X-Ray at ₹35: The Patna Hospital Making Private Hospitals Sweat!
ECG at ₹25, X-Ray at ₹35: The Patna Hospital Making Private Hospitals Sweat!
The man who taught millions for just a few hundred rupees is now ready to heal millions for even less.
Khan Sir, India’s most loved educator from Patna, has officially stepped into the healthcare sector. His mission? To ensure that no person in India dies because they couldn't afford a blood test or a doctor’s fee.
Here is why his new hospital is the talk of the town and what it teaches the rest of the healthcare industry.
🏥 The "Shocking" Price List
When we think of private hospitals, we think of thousands of rupees gone in just "registration." But Khan Sir’s hospital is rewriting the rules. Take a look at these numbers that are currently going viral:

Cheaper
"Our aim is to make healthcare accessible to everyone. Treatment here will be cheaper than even in government hospitals." — Khan Sir
🔬 Not Just Cheap, But High-Tech
There is a common myth that "low price means low quality." Khan Sir is busting that myth with German and Japanese technology.
- Anti-Infection Design: Most hospitals use tiles in Operation Theatres (OT). Khan Sir rejected this because bacteria can grow in the tiny gaps between tiles. Instead, he used medical-grade anti-infection mats to ensure 100% hygiene.
- Advanced Dialysis: The hospital features a state-of-the-art dialysis center with imported machinery.
- Cancer Care: Inspired by a promise made to a student during Raksha Bandhan, he is also building a specialized unit for cancer treatment.
- Free Food: Understanding that a hungry family cannot care for a sick patient, the hospital also provides free meals to patients and their attendants.
💡 3 Lessons for Other Hospitals
Khan Sir’s model isn't just a charity; it’s a wake-up call to the medical industry.
1. Empathy over Equity
Most hospitals are run by boards looking at profit margins. Khan Sir’s hospital is run by a vision—specifically his mother’s vision—that no poor person should be turned away. When you put the patient first, the community builds the brand for you.
2. Innovation Saves Costs
By cutting out unnecessary luxury (like fancy marble lobbies) and focusing on smart engineering (like the OT mats), costs can be drastically reduced without compromising the patient’s life.
3. Transparency is the Best Marketing
In an era where patients fear "hidden charges," a fixed, ultra-low-cost price list builds immediate trust. People don't just visit; they become advocates.
🌟 Why This Matters
Medical debt is one of the leading causes of poverty in India. A single major illness can wipe out a family's life savings. By offering a blood test at the price of a cup of tea (₹7), Khan Sir is protecting the dignity of the common man.
