curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($rawPOSTdata));

$response = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);

 if( $response )
     {
        if ( isset($result->error) )die( $result->error_message );
        /* Convert json data to array */

        $arr=json_decode( $response,true);

    echo '<pre>';echo print_r ($arr); echo '</pre>';

Use this array, nested arrays should be again written as array() as below

$rawPOSTdata = array(
  "deviceCode"=>"",
  "applicationId"=>"",
  "patient" => array(
     "member"=>"",
     "needSMS"=>"true",
     "nsr"=>"",
     "foreign"=>"",
     "teleNo"=>"0777136419",
     "title"=>"mrs",
     "patientName"=>"sufra",
     "nid"=>"887111596v",
  ),
  "sessionDetails" => array(
     "hosId"=>"H138",
     "docId"=>"D3648",
     "theDay"=>"Monday",
     "startTime"=>"13:00",
     "theDate"=>"03-10-2016",
  ),
  "payment" => array(
     "paymentMode"=>"EPG",
     "bankCode"=>"",
     "branchCaode"=>"M000444",
     "paymentChannel"=>"WEB_PO",
     "channelFrom"=>"W",
  ),
);
