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 Ottoman Princess Niloufer. Princess Niloufer was the daughter of a princess of the former 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 an inclination to serve the poor and also took to serving them as a nurse.
