Health Care Built Around Cab and Auto Drivers in Hyderabad

Long hours sitting cause a predictable set of problems: lower back pain and sciatica, weight gain and the heart and blood sugar risks that come with it, piles from long sitting, weaker night vision and eye strain, poor and broken sleep from long or night shifts, and leg and knee strain from the clutch and pedals, worse for auto drivers. High blood pressure and high blood sugar are very common and cause no symptoms until they turn serious, so a yearly check matters even when you feel fine.

Yes. We run free health camps at cab hubs, auto stands and driver union points, at a time that suits your shift. We check blood pressure, blood sugar, weight, eyesight, back and posture, and hearing in about ten minutes per driver, at no charge. If anything looks off, we call you within two days to explain it. Ask your union or hub to arrange one, or message us directly.

Lower back pain and sciatica are the most common complaints we hear from drivers. It helps to set your seat so your knees are level with your hips, use a small cushion for lower-back support, get out and walk for a couple of minutes every hour or two, and keep your weight in check because extra weight worsens back load. Do not ignore pain that shoots down a leg or comes with numbness or weakness. If it is persistent, see a doctor rather than living on painkillers, because physiotherapy and early treatment work far better than waiting.

Night and long shifts strain your eyes, especially with oncoming headlight glare, and broken sleep affects your blood pressure, weight and concentration over time. Get your eyesight checked at least yearly, keep your windscreen and glasses clean, and try to protect a regular sleep block even on a shifting schedule. Constant tiredness, snoring with daytime sleepiness, or dozing at signals are worth telling a doctor about, as they can point to a treatable sleep problem.

All of them, and none of them exclusively. This is open to any cab or auto driver in Hyderabad, whether you drive with a platform such as Ola, Uber or Rapido, or independently. Vivekananda Hospital is an independent hospital and is not connected to or endorsed by any platform company. Where platforms are named, it is only to describe the work our patients do.

At least once a year, even when you feel completely fine. Drivers carry a higher risk of high blood pressure, high blood sugar and heart problems because of long sitting, stress and irregular meals, and all three are silent until they turn serious. A basic yearly check of blood pressure, blood sugar, weight and eyesight catches these early, when they are easy to manage. The free camps at your stand or hub exist for exactly this.
