Ericsson and Apollo Telemedicine Networking Foundation (ATNF), a part of the Apollo Hospitals Group, have taken a major step towards helping bridge the digital divide in rural India by laying the foundation for the introduction of telemedicine delivered using HSPA technology, which will enable the provision of affordable and accessible healthcare to millions of people in remote areas.
Having failed to identify suitable targets in the UK, Apollo Hospitals is eyeing acquisition opportunities in other markets. The company is scouting for opportunities in Spain and Peru and eyeing tertiary level hospitals in both countries. The move will enable Apollo to gain a foothold in the European and Latin American markets.
The Apollo Hospitals has formulated a comprehensive policy to take quality medical care to the doorsteps of the people in Tier-II and tier-III cities, a top official of the hospital said.
