Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Limited is an Indian multinational hospital chain, founded by Prathap C. Reddy in 1983 with headquarters in Chennai, Tamil Nadu and the first corporate healthcare provider in India. With its unstinting focus on clinical excellence, affordable costs, modern technology and forward-looking research & academics, the Group has emerged as Asia’s foremost integrated healthcare services provider and has a robust presence across the healthcare ecosystem, including hospitals, Medvarsity for E-Learning, Health Insurance Services, pharmacies, primary care & diagnostic clinics and several retail health models. Several of the Apollo's hospitals have been among the first in India to receive international healthcare accreditation by the America-based Joint Commission International (JCI) as well as 13 NABH (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers hospitals). The organization embraced the rapid advancement in medical equipment across the world, and pioneered the introduction of several breakthrough innovations in India. Recently, South East Asia’s first Proton Therapy Centre commenced operations at the Apollo Centre in Chennai. Apollo also has developed services in telemedicine, after starting a pilot project in 2000 at Aragonda, Prathap Reddy's home village. In addition, ‘ASK Apollo’ – an online consultation portal and Apollo Home Health provide the care continuum.
Apollo Hospitals has championed numerous social initiatives to assist underprivileged children that include SACHi (Save a Child’s Heart Initiative) which screens and provides pediatric cardiac care for congenital heart diseases, SAHI (Society to Aid the Hearing Impaired) and the CURE Foundation focused on cancer care. Apollo signed an MoU with Health Education England in April 2017 to provide a large number of doctors to fill vacancies in the English National Health Service.
In a rare honor, the Government of India issued a commemorative stamp in recognition of Apollo’s widespread contributions, the first for a healthcare organization. In addition, a stamp was also released to mark the 15th anniversary of India’s 1st successful liver transplant performed at Apollo Hospitals. More recently, Apollo Hospitals was again honored with a postal stamp for having successfully performed 20 million health checks and its pioneering efforts in encouraging preventive healthcare in the country. In 2010, Dr. Prathap C Reddy has been conferred with the prestigious Padma Vibhushan, India’s second highest civilian award.
