Dr. Prathap C Reddy, Chairman said, “Ever since its inception, Apollo Hospitals has been  consistently driven by the mission to provide healthcare of international standards to patients here  in India. Our efforts at innovation, clinical expertise, medical excellence and tender, loving care are  not just restricted to treating a particular symptom, disease or patient but rather to holistically  improve the overall health quotient of the nation by empowering the system from within. It was this  persistence and commitment that enabled us to pledge support to medical camps one day of every  month across India, following the Prime Minister’s clarion call to doctors in the country to serve  underprivileged pregnant women.   We are taking the war against NCDs to the next level by reshaping our cancer practice into an  Independent specialty which will be named as Apollo Cancer Institutes. The existing network of 8  Cancer Institutes within our existing hospitals will be supplemented by the addition of 2 new  institutes over the next year at Bhubaneshwar and Mumbai. These institutes will function from a  common platform based on standard protocols which will ensure uniform quality of care for patients  while elevating the track record and knowledge bank for specialists across the network.  We have already established a chain of diabetes clinics under AHLL which offer cutting edge solutions  and treatment. Going forward, we will evaluate the potential to similarly elevate the Cardiac Sciences  practice as the Apollo Network gears up to meet the challenge of tackling the increasing volumes of  patients afflicted by cancer, diabetes and cardiac ailments – NCDs for which India is set to emerge  with the highest number of cases globally.  He  added,  “Robust  clinical  and  medical  expertise,  impeccable  operational  excellence  and  strategized investment has helped sustain our growth. We continue to make progress on clinical  parameters and our focus on key specialties has paid rich dividends. Higher volumes of transplants  and robotic surgeries across the group coupled with the increasing complexity of treatments being  undertaken clearly showcase the further elevation of capabilities.   We are confident that with the impending roll out of GST, unifying the country under a single indirect  tax will accelerate growth in healthcare sector.  Our hospitals across the country are continuing their deliberate pursuit of world class medical and  clinical excellence for the benefit of our patients, accomplishing and performing extraordinary feats  that are most often a first for India. Thus, we are pleased with the recognition accorded to the group  by the Asian Hospital Management Awards, 2016. These awards rightly acknowledge the untiring  efforts put in by our team in diverse areas such as Clinical Excellence, Nursing Excellence, Patient  Safety as well as CSR efforts and digital initiatives.”
