Dr Prathap C Reddy, Chairman, Apollo Hospitals Group said, “The first three quarters of the year have been a period of resilience and recovery for Apollo Hospitals. It is a testament to the strong foundation laid over our 37 years of experience in healthcare that we have been able to emerge stronger than ever before despite the challenges due to the COVID pandemic. The third quarter of the year saw robust growth as we increased focus on non-Covid patients, especially NCDs, which pose a substantial risk factor to the health of the people. This was also a result of our successful efforts in educating our patients on the risks of ignoring symptoms and addressing their fears of visiting a hospital during the pandemic. We were very clear that we would continue to leverage not just the latest medical technologies at our disposal, but also invest in new developments harnessing AI, ML, and big data to benefit our patients.”

Talking about the multiple collaborations during the quarter, Reddy said,” We collaborated with Tata Medical and Diagnostics to introduce TataMD CHECK diagnostic test for COVID-19 in the country. This is the world’s first CRISPR Cas-9-based diagnostic test and gives faster and accurate results as compared to the conventional tests. We continued to be the torchbearer in the adoption of digital technology as the first hospital group in South Asia to use AI for comprehensive stroke management and joined hands with Medtronic – a world leader in neuro-interventional devices to transform stroke treatment in the country.”

Highlighting the launch of the first-of-a-kind knee replacement programme in Bengaluru offering specialised partial and total knee replacement care with the use of advanced robotic technology, the NAVIO surgical system, Reddy informed that it will help in address the rising health concern of osteoarthritis, a painful crippling condition.
