When we fall ill or need to take a loved one to a hospital apart from proximity, the quality of care also influences our choices.
You want assurance walking into a hospital that you will receive the best care because the institution is patient-centric, compassionate, accountable, efficient and professional.

One of the unique features of AAR Hospital is that they deliver outpatient services through independent emergency care facilities and outpatient facilities.
Emergency care receives patients in critical condition needing immediate and specialised care, whereas outpatient facility receives ambulatory/walk-in patients.
The day-care facility serves patients undergoing procedures that do not require overnight admission.
The outpatient services are augmented by a specialised clinic area akin to a doctor’s plaza within the hospital, with some of the most experienced doctors in different specialities.
This separation of the outpatient services implies that ambulatory care will continue without interruption from incoming emergencies, as in many other institutions.
