In addition to sustained progress on clinical and operational parameters, we have successfully commissioned five new hospitals and undertaken a couple of synergistic acquisitions. The year was also marked by further elevation in standards of patient care as endorsed by the large and growing number of solid organ transplants and robotic surgeries. Along the way, we surpassed the milestone of Rs. 5,000 crore in Annual Consolidated Revenues.
Our Innovation program continued to churn out industry novelties with the launch of India’s first center of excellence in hip arthroscopy, first digital hospital in Chennai with the path breaking ‘I SEE U’ offering, and cutting edge applications benefiting TB and Cancer rehabilitation. The expansion blueprint continues to unfold in a calibrated manner aligned to our strategic and financial objectives. The Retail healthcare initiative is rapidly taking shape with an improved network and expansion of formats.
He added, “The Board has approved a Rights Issue to raise growth capital which will allow us to pursue attractive opportunities across the healthcare services landscape in the country.”
While the Group has declared to take necessary actions towards arresting the growth of NCDs by making it the top most priority for the company in this financial year, Dr. Reddy has urged that the battle against NCDs should be made a national priority. With view to lead by example, every member of the Apollo Hospitals family has completed their annual health check for 2015 and in doing so, Apollo Hospitals has set a precedent for the industry to encourage employees to take charge of their own health. At Apollo, Health Checks are integrated with our Associates’ performance and compliance is considered paramount. We also have Health & Wellness initiatives aimed at improving the well‐being of our associates and their family members. Furthermore, having developed robust measures to tackle the root causes and derive cost‐effective solutions towards addressing NCDs, through the “Let’s Talk Health” initiative, Apollo has built a comprehensive strategy to raise awareness on NCDs and the need for preventive health checks, to enable a mind‐set shift from curative to preventive healthcare.
Elaborating on the subject, Dr. Reddy added, “The impact of NCDs on India would prove to be catastrophic, if it continues unchecked and we will be losing our demographic edge which in turn will lead to economic losses adding up to several billions of dollars. India is a young economy and we deserve to be a healthy nation. Preventive health is emerging as the single biggest healthcare need of the hour. Today, having performed over 12 million health checks Apollo Hospitals is keen and willing to partner Corporate India in giving them the edge of preventive healthcare and wellness, thereby improving the health quotient of their human capital. Global empirical studies have proven that good health has a multiplier effect on economic wellbeing and companies that have allocated time and resources in nurturing better health have always benefitted.
