It is affiliated to Osmania Medical college and Gandhi Medical College and serves as a teaching hospital. Originally, it included an ENT section, but it was separated and moved to separate premises in Hyderabad.Very helpful to poor people. Located very near to Mehdipatnam.

It is the primary hospital for eye treatment for the poor and underprivileged in and around Hyderabad. It has been treating many patients for free since its inception.

The hospital made news all over India and in the US in 1980, when doctors operated and removed the healthy eye from a 2-year-old girl, Nasreen Banu, instead of the cancerous one, blinding her for life. The incident created a furor in India resulting in the Government of India sending Nasreen Banu to the United States for treatment at its expense, where the other cancerous eye was operated and removed.

13 February is the birthday of Sarojini Naidu and the same is the foundation day of the hospital.
