'''Niloufer Hospital''' is housed in a building in the heart of historic Hyderabad and has an interesting past. This reputed institution was founded in 1949 by the [[Princess Niloufer]]. Princess Niloufer was the daughter of king of Ottoman Empire (Turkey) and was married to prince [[Moazzam Jah]]- son of 7th [[Nizam]] [[Mir Osman Ali Khan]] - (the last Asaf Jahi ruler) of [[Hyderabad Deccan]] in 1931. Just like Florence nightingale, the princess had a liking to serve the poor and also took to serving the poor as a nurse.<ref name="nomore"/><br />
<br />
==History==<br />
In 1949, one of the princess' maids died during childbirth due to lack of medical facilities. On hearing this news, the princess was very shattered. She then decided to ensure that no mother faces death hereafter. [[Princess Niloufer]] made known to her father-in-law the problems arising due to this lack of medical facilities.<ref name="nomore">{{cite news |url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/nation/current-affairs/040118/niloufer-pioneered-maternity-child-care.html |title=Niloufer pioneered maternity, child care|date=Jan 4, 2018|newspaper=deccanchronicle|access-date=June 3, 2018}}</ref><br />
<br />
During those times, childbirth took place mostly at home and even simple complications could prove fatal for mother or child. [[Mir Najaf Ali Khan]], member of [[H.E.H. the Nizam's Charitable Trust]] states that the princess had quoted “No more Rafaths shall die” when she decided to build a hospital. As a result, a specialty hospital for women and children was built in the [[Red Hills, Hyderabad]] area of the city.<ref name="mat">{{cite news|title= Hyderabad Shaan – History of Niloufer Hospital |url=http://v6news.tv/hyderabad-shaan-history-of-niloufer-hospital|newspaper=http://v6news.tv|access-date=June 3, 2018}}</ref><br />
<br />
It was her philanthropy and sympathy for the Poor and the sick that took the form of this modern temple. The Institution of Niloufer Hospital was intended for critical cases especially of maternity department.<ref name="mat"/><br />
<br />
In 1953, what began as a 100-bed hospital to meet the health requirements of the mother & child, was destined to progress with no looking back. The hospital fleet enhanced its occupancy to 500 beds with advanced maternity, pediatric, pediatric surgery supported by diagnostic facilities. Current TRS Government since its inception in 2014 has taken steps much to discipline things within the hospital administration.{{Citation needed|date=March 2019}}<br />
