Hyderabad, Apr 24 : KIMS Hospitals, Secunderabad, has become the first and only hospital in Telangana to receive accreditation from the Quality and Accreditation Institute (QAI) for excellence in stroke care. The recognition underscores the hospital’s commitment to delivering high-quality, timely and patient-centric neurological emergency services.
