Apollo Group Hospitals are the forerunner of integrated healthcare in Asia with a futuristic vision of making India a preferred global healthcare destination.

At the behest of his father, in 1971, Dr. Reddy left behind a flourishing practice in Boston and returned to India. On his return, he found the medical landscape in the country plagued by gaps in infrastructure, delivery, and affordability. Things took a turn for the worse when he lost a young patient who just did not have the means to go abroad for treatment. The incident marked a crossroad in Dr. Reddy’s life and steeled his determination to get quality healthcare to India. He set the blueprint to build India’s first multi-specialty private sector hospital.

Undaunted and unfazed 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 education, research and healthcare for the benefit of humanity”.

In the 35 years since it has scripted one of the most magnificent stories of success that India has seen. Not only is the Apollo Group one of the largest integrated healthcare groups in the region, it also did successfully catalyze the private healthcare revolution in the country. Apollo today has made every aspect of their lofty mission a reality. Along the way, the journey has touched and enriched 42 million lives who came from 120 countries.
