Sagar Apollo – a health vision in India and abroad

Evolving into Asia’s largest chain of corporate hospitals in less than two decades is a means that Dr. Prathap C. Reddy found to realize his vision of “positioning India as a premier healthcare destination of the world”. It all began with the founding of the Apollo Group of Hospitals by Dr. Reddy in 1983. Today Apollo Hospitals in India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal and UAE signifies world-class facilities, international standards of care and service and a meeting point for highly qualified and skilled medical experts. Apollo Hospitals across the countries have been focused on putting medical care of global standards within the reach of every individual.

Providing comprehensive medical facilities and services continues to the concern of Apollo hospitals. However, nephrology and cardiology have received special focus. A success rate of 98.5% in over 50,000 cardiac surgeries and an equally impressive success rate of 98% in over 3000 renal transplants speak volumes of the high standards set by the group. The state-of-the-art facilities matched by the success rte puts Apollo Hospitals on even keel with the best medical institutions in the world. A measure of the management skills of the group is the fact that over 1 million patients have been treated in the group hospitals. Another milestone that the group has set for itself is to increase the total bed strength to 20,000 by 2003.

Sagar Apollo Hospital in India

Healthcare has been the natural need of humanity since ages. In the recent past healthcare has emerged as a highly advanced science. The coming together of modern advances in technology and the improved medical skills have enabled a paradigm shift in the medical services sector. The entreprenerual zeal of medical professionals combined with the concern for humanity and an ever increasing concern for health has given the right direction for the paradigm shift.

The private sector which has spearheaded the shift has necessarily focused on the secondary and tertiary healthcare and medical services. Owing to this commitment, healthcare facilities in India have come to meet international standards.

The Sagar Apollo Hospital is an example of the synergy that occurs when the philanthropic outlook, commitment to humanity, entrepreneurial zeal and vision come together.
