The foundation stone was laid by its namesake, Princess Durru Shehvar, mother of the society's chair Prince Muffakham Jah. The hospital later began to provide medical care to pregnant women, as well as prenatal and postnatal care, and eventually expanded its services to become a general hospital. The society opened a college of nursing in 2003.[2]
