At the behest of his father, in 1971, Dr. Reddy left behind a successful practice in Boston and returned to India. On his return, he found the medical landscape in India was plagued by gaps in the infrastructure, affordability and delivery. Things took a turn for the worse, when he lost a young patient as he did not have the means to fly abroad for his medical treatment. This incident marked a turning point in Dr. Reddy's life and steeled his determination to provide quality healthcare services in India. He set the blueprint to build India's first multi-specialty private sector hospital.
Unfazed and undaunted by the obstacles faced, Apollo Hospitals opened its doors in 1983 and ever since nurtured a goal which read as "Our mission is to bring healthcare of international standards within the reach of every individual. We are committed to the achievement and maintenance of excellence in research, education, and healthcare for the benefit of humanity".
For 30 years, it has scripted one of the most outstanding stories of success that India has seen. The Apollo Group is not only one of the largest integrated healthcare groups in the region, it also did successfully catalyse the private healthcare revolution in the country. Today, Apollo Spectra Chain of Hospitals has made every aspect of their lofty mission a reality. Along the way, the journey has touched and enriched over 42 million lives who came from 120 countries across the globe.
Apollo Hospitals was the forerunner of integrated healthcare in Asia, as well as globally. Today, the futuristic vision of the Apollo group has ensured that it has been in a position of strength at every touch point of the healthcare delivery chain. Its existence encompasses more than 10,000 beds across 64 hospitals, more than 100 primary care & diagnostic clinics, over 2200 pharmacies, about 115 telemedicine units across 9 countries, health insurance services, global project consultancy, about 15 academic institutions and a Research Foundation that focuses on epidemiological studies, global clinical trials, stem-cell and genetic research.
The Apollo Group continues to break a new ground in adopting new technology. From leveraging new age mobility to getting futuristic equipment Apollo has always been ahead of the curve. Currently, the group believes in the incredible potential of robotics and is investing heavily in making it a real and robust option for all. Apollo pioneered Tender Loving Care (TLC) and it continues to be the magic that inspires warmth, hope and a sense of ease in the patients.
Apollo started out with the promise of bringing out quality healthcare to India at a price point that can be easily affordable by the Indians. The cost of treatment in Apollo was a tenth of the price in the western world. Today, as the group charts out its roadmap to take the healthcare sector to a billion, the focus on driving a strong value proposition remains constant.
The remarkable story of the Apollo has captured India's attention. The Group was felicitated with the honour of a commemorative postage stamp bearing its name for its service to the nation. Dr. Prathap C Reddy, was bestowed with the second highest civilian award, the ‘Padma Vibhushan’, by the Government of India for his tireless pursuit of excellence in healthcare.
Recently, Apollo Hospitals celebrated its 30th year. The Group is led by Dr. Prathap Reddy, it reaffirmed its goals and redefined their focus. With ambitious projects like Apollo Reach Hospitals, a strong focus is placed on the preventive healthcare and an unabated commitment to nurture expertise and excellence in healthcare.
