DR PRATHAP C REDDYChairman, Apollo Hospitals Group

Biography‘A compassionate humanitarian, dedicated to bringing world-class healthcare within the economic and geographic reach of millions of patients’ best describes Dr. Prathap C Reddy, Founder Chairman of the Apollo Hospitals Group.

Dr. Reddy received his medical degree from the Stanley Medical College in Chennai and later trained as a Cardiologist in the UK and USA. He did his Fellowship from the Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston and went on to head several research programs at the Missouri State Chest Hospital, USA where he worked for several years before returning to India, before returning to India in 1978 at the behest of his father.

This act of leading by example in reversing the brain drain eventually became an agenda with Apollo Hospitals, India’s first corporate hospital that spawned the country’s burgeoning private healthcare industry.

The dream of making world-class medical facilities in India spurred him to set up the Apollo Hospitals in Chennai in 1983 at a time when private healthcare institutions were virtually unknown in our country. The new hospital attracted the best medical talent, including eminent non-resident Indian doctors from hospitals in the US and UK. This was the first major reversal in the pattern of brain drain.

Starting from a 150-bedded Hospital in 1983, the Group has since continuously excelled and maintained leadership in medical innovation, world-class clinical services and cutting edge research. With a network of over 8500 beds across 54 hospitals at culturally diverse locations in India and overseas, over 4000 top class clinicians and total employee strength of more than 65,000 professionals, the Apollo Hospitals Group is one of the largest hospital groups in the world, being consistently ranked amongst the best hospitals for advanced medical services. These hospitals have served over 20 million patients from 55 countries, with seven of them having the prestigious JCI accreditation.

Dr Reddy’s pioneering successes include the initiation of a change towards preventive care, by pushing for a new standard in assessing and diagnosing India’s health to fight the triple terrors of heart, diabetic and cancer diseases through preventive health checks. Telemedicine, as in the world’s first V-SAT enabled village, and health insurance like the Aragonda Re. 1/day scheme, were other successful pilots.
