INTRODUCTION OF THE COMPANY

Apollo Hospitals is a major hospital chain based in Chennai, India. It was

founded by Dr.Prathap C. Reddy in 1983. Apollo is private healthcare provider

in Asia with hospitals in India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Ghana, Nigeria, Republic of

Mauritius, Qatar, Oman and Kuwait .

Several of the group's hospitals have been among the first in India to

receive a form of international, in their case by the American-based Joint

Commission International (JCI). The Hyderabad hospital was the first in the world,

outside the US, to receive JCI's Disease- or Condition-Specific Care (DCSC)

Certification in addition to general accreditation when it received this for its

Acute Stroke treatment in 2006. However, they have not as yet acquired

international accreditation from any hospital accreditation group from outside of

the USA.

The group has developed services in telemedicine, after starting a pilot project in

2000 in Dr Pratap C. Reddy's own home village. It is now the largest telemedicine

provider in India with 71 centres.Apollo Hospital and DHAN to provide affordable

company (Apollo Health Street). It offers business process outsourcing (BPO)and

IT services internationally, operating out of three countries - the United States, the

United Kingdom, and four centres in India (Hyderabad, New

Delhi, Chennai and Coimbatore). The success of Apollo Hospitals has made it the

topic for Harvard Business School case study.

Company Overview

It is often said that nothing happens, unless there is a dream first. At the genesis of

the Apollo story there was a dream. A dream so powerful, that it helped transform

the medical landscape in India.

Vision

Apollo's vision for the next phase of development is to 'Touch a Billion Lives'.

Mission

"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 education, research and healthcare for the benefit of humanity"

Values

The confluence of seven values results in a ray that represents Apollo’s leadership

in Indian Healthcare. A ray that is the beacon for millions looking for a cure…

looking for hope.

The dream nurtured and grew within Dr. Prathap C Reddy, the founder Chairman

of Apollo Hospitals, until the point of inflection happened in 1983. A young man

succumbing to an ailing heart was what it took to ignite Dr. Reddy's vision into a

reality - a vision where quality healthcare was given, where the pursuit of clinical

excellence was daily endeavor, India a hub in the medical tourism map and where

the Apollo family touches and enriches lives every minute, every day.

Today, with over 8500 beds across 54 hospitals, and a significant presence at every

touch-point of the medical value chain, Apollo Hospitals is one of Asia’s largest

healthcare groups. Commenced as a 150 bed hospital, today the group has grown

exponentially both in India and overseas. Its growth is often said to be synonymous

with India emerging as a major hub in global healthcare.

Apollo Hospitals is driven by a single thrust, to provide the best standards of

patient care. It is this passion that has lead to the development of unique centers of

excellence across medical disciplines, within the Apollo Hospitals network. Apollo

Hospitals has JCI accreditations for 7 of its hospitals, the largest by any hospital

group in the region.

True to its founding principles, the group has made quality healthcare accessible to

the people of India, and even overseas. It has become an institution of trust, and a

beacon of hope to so many searching for a cure for their ailments.

The legacy of touching and enriching lives stems from the pillars of the Apollo

philosophy - experience, excellence, expertise and research. We pride ourselves for

constantly being on the cutting edge, and going the extra mile to stay relevant and

revolutionary.

The Apollo Hospitals Group is the pioneer of integrated healthcare delivery in

India. This vision led the group to earmark time and resources to strengthen each

vital cog in the process of healthcare delivery. As a result of these efforts, the

group today is in a unique position to exponentially increase its healthcare cover.

This will be critical in order to meet future requirements.

Apollo Hospitals Group, today, is an integrated healthcare organization with

owned and managed hospitals, diagnostic clinics, dispensing pharmacies and

consultancy services. In addition, the group’s service offerings include healthcare

at the patient’s doorstep, clinical & diagnostic services, medical business process

outsourcing, third party administration services and health insurance. To enhance

performance and service to customers, the company also makes available the

services to support business, telemedicine services, education, training programs &

research services and a host of other non-profit projects.

Recommendation

At this point in time, I would recommend building additional hospitals. This

approach allows Apollo to continue towards its ultimate goal of providing

comprehensive health coverage, while allowing for other events to occur in

parallel. There are not enough resources available to deploy that are committed to

the “Apollo Way”. While new hospitals are being built the IHM could be

expanding its training programs and producing additional management resources

that can be deployed. At the same time, we will be able to fight the government red

tape and continue our education of the Indian people regarding the benefits and

necessity of health care.
