A Letter From Dr Pratap Duggirala
Let me speak to you the way I would if you walked into my consulting room. If you're reading this, something has brought you here. Maybe it's a burn that has changed how you look at yourself in the mirror. Maybe it's a child born with a cleft lip and a thousand worried questions in your heart. Maybe it's an accident that took something from you — a finger, a feature, a piece of your confidence. Or maybe you simply want to feel like yourself again.
Born Out of a Simple Conviction
Pratap Hospital exists because no family in Andhra Pradesh should have to travel a thousand kilometres for world-class plastic and reconstructive care.
Training at India's Top Institutes
MBBS from SDUMC, M.S. in General Surgery from Kurnool Government Medical College, and M.Ch in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery from the prestigious Safdarjung Hospital, New Delhi — where Dr Pratap secured the All India 2nd Rank.
Witnessing the Distance Families Travelled
In Delhi, Dr Pratap saw fathers from Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Odisha and Karnataka sell land, borrow money, and sleep outside hospitals just to give their children a chance at a normal face, a working hand, a dignified life.
One Question Became Pratap Hospital
"Why should they have to travel so far? Why can't this care come closer to home?" — that question became a promise: no one in our region should ever have to leave Vijayawada for world-class plastic, cosmetic, reconstructive or burn surgery again.
A Journey That Has Only Just Begun
Today, patients travel to us from across Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Odisha, Chhattisgarh and even from Indians settled abroad — referred by neighbours, relatives, and families we've had the honour of helping.
The Equipment, The Spaces, The Standards

Our Mission & Vision
Our Mission
To deliver the highest standard of plastic, reconstructive, aesthetic, and burns surgical care with uncompromising surgical ethics, single-surgeon accountability, and complete patient dignity.
Our Vision
To be the premier surgical institute in South India, renowned for natural surgical transformations, humanitarian burn rehabilitation, and excellence in clinical education.
- No burn victim in our region goes without reconstructive care because of cost.
- No child grows up with a correctable deformity because the family didn't know help existed.
- No one feels judged for wanting to look or feel different in their own body.
- World-class surgery is no longer a privilege of the metro cities.

Training the Next Generation
Training the next generation of plastic surgeons in our region.
Emerging Technologies

Patient Education in Telugu

Thank You For Reading This Far
I know hospital websites usually feel cold. I know you've probably read a dozen of them today, and they all sounded the same. I didn't want this one to feel that way.
If you are considering plastic, cosmetic, reconstructive or burn surgery — please come and meet us. No pressure. No commitment. Just a conversation. You can sit across from me and tell me what's bothering you. I will listen. I will tell you honestly what we can and cannot do. And whether or not you choose us, you will leave with clarity — and that itself is something.
We are Pratap Hospital — the best super-speciality plastic surgery hospital in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh — not because we said so on a banner, but because thousands of patients chose to trust us with their bodies, their faces, and their futures. We hope to earn that same trust from you.
