monitors 200 patients in six states from its e-ICU facility in Hyderabad and plans to open three new centres to track 1,000 more patients .
Yet , as a public listed company , Apollo ’ s focus is still on the health of the patients . “ Any research we undertake has to be translated from an idea to a clinical application in the end ,” Jauhari says .
End-to-end healthcare Apollo Hospitals is focused towards providing quality healthcare to every individual and empowering them in their healthcare journey . This journey of becoming an umbrella for all healthcare needs is fulfilled by having Pharmacies , health insurance services , medical colleges , colleges of nursing and hospital management .
Apollo Pharmacies has grown from being based within the hospitals to a chain of over 2,400 outlets across the country . Today Apollo pharmacy is Asia`s largest network of pharmacies . “ We ’ re one of the few retail clinics in India that is profitable ,” says Ms Kamineni . “ We haven ’ t given a wrong prescription in over 20 years . Our supply chain is so effective ; we interact with almost 100mn people a year .”
Only 20 % of India ’ s population is covered by health insurance . To address this , Apollo partnered with Munich Re Group ( the European Union`s largest re-insurance company ) a global leader in health insurance , to form Apollo Munich Insurance . Apollo Munich brings together a deep understanding of emerging healthcare needs , and sophisticated technical and underwriting prowess , to ‘ uncomplicate ’ health insurance . It has over 80 branches throughout the country , making healthcare more accessible to the vast swathes of the population who couldn ’ t access it previously .
Apollo Hospitals is committed to the maintenance of excellence in education . The belief that clinical services supported by medical education and research is relevant to the need of the country , and therefore should be an integral part of Apollo Hospitals , led to the introduction of various programs for medical education and hospital management .
