Apollo Hospital Information
Chairman’s Message
India's 1st Internationally
Accredited Hospital
 
Apollo Hospital, Delhi Overview
Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals is spread over 12 acres of land and has a built-up area of 600,000 square feet.
Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals recently achieved the Joint Commission International (JCI) USA Accreditation - the first Indian hospital to be awarded this gold-standard certification.
A joint venture between the Apollo Group and the Government of India, it was founded in 1996. It is the largest hospital of the group and was built at a cost of 44 million US dollars.
With a bed-capacity of 692 (including 138 ICU beds) and 14 Operation Theatres, expert medical professionals and the latest technology, the Indraprastha Apollo is the automatic choice for outstanding healthcare in the country's capital.
The hospital handles close to 200,000 patients a year, of which 9,500 are international patients. International patients come to Indraprastha Apollo from the USA, Australia, Malaysia, Yemen, Brunei and Tanzania, among other countries.
Apollo Liver Surgery Unit
The Apollo Liver transplant surgery unit now has an outstanding reputation for all aspects of liver surgery. Complex liver resection are carried with a mortality and morbidity comparable to the best centers in the world. There is also active interventional radiology setup that deals with chemoembolization, radiofrequency ablation and percutaneous alcohol injection into tumour tissue.
This centre is very active in liver transplantation and is equipped for both cadaveric and living related transplant. It has to its credit first successful reduced liver transplant from an adult cadaveric liver to a paediatric recipient.
Pancreatic surgery is also carried out in great numbers and possibly we have one of the largest series of pancreaticoduodenectomy operation for cancers of the periampullary region. The unit has treated patients from all over India as well as patients from Middle East, Africa and South East Asia. Apart from malignancies this unit has considerable skills in dealing with surgical management of all aspects of pancreatitis. Its faculty consists of nationally and internationally known consultants.
This unit has a reputation for shunt surgery for patients who have bled from varices. In situations where the liver is not diseased, then shunt surgery is quite an appropriate form of treatment. Often because of blockage of hepatic veins mesocaval shunts can reverse the damage to liver.
This unit is a referral centre for patients who have been operated elsewhere and has developed a complication. One such common condition is intestinal fistula and these have been managed very successfully here. A paper from our unit was awarded the best paper in one of the recent Indian Society of Gastroenterology meetings. The unit has a very active Stoma Clinic, which deals with wound care in intestinal fistulae.
Colorectal cancer is another active area of our unit and there is a major emphasis on sphincter saving surgery either using staplers or by intersphincteric resection. Ulcerative colitis generally can be treated by medicine but surgery has a major role in certain situation. The entire diseased colon is removed and the end of small intestine folded on itself and joined to create a pouch, which is then joined to the anus so that the patient can pass stool normally.
The unit has skilled consultants who are backed by a huge team of experienced registrars, theatre personnel and equipment such as ultrasonic aspirator, argon beam coagulator and thromboelastograph which all helps in conducting major surgery.
The Unit of Surgical Gastroenterology and Liver transplantation has a proven track record of dealing with complex gastrointestinal cases and is at the forefront of clinical medicine and liver surgery in India.

Chairman’s Message: Dr. P.C. Reddy, Chairman
Mission "Our mission is to bring healthcare of international standards within the reach of every individual. We are committed to the achievement and maintenance of excellence in education, research and healthcare for the benefit of humanity"
Vision
Most essential institutions in society have developed in response to an overwhelming need...
Sixteen years ago, I lost a patient in India who couldn't make it to Texas for an open heart surgery. But now people have the opportunity in India to access the best that healthcare has to offer worldwide. Our state-of-the-art equipment, backed by the world's best professionals, equals those available globally. To that extent, Apollo's mission may have been accomplished.
Fifteen years into being called a pioneer and leader in revolutionizing healthcare in India may have been ample reason, traditionally, to rest on our laurels. Not at Apollo though. We realize that today, people measure companies' strengths by an array of more demanding criteria than just who-came-first. Quite the way Apollo measures itself.
By constantly measuring our deliverables, we have succeeded in creating infrastructure that meets the needs of the future that incorporates the latest technology and provides superior healthcare delivery systems. Our immediate agenda includes setting up of healthcare facilities in all major Indian cities, 23-hour hospitals, pharmacies, a pharmaceuticals business and finally, a Health Maintenance Organization that will give millions of people access to all these facilities. This is an agenda for a country which is seeing rapid growth.
Our mission is also to transcend the realm of curative care. With a new focus on preventive care, Apollo is going beyond medicine to bring health to the individual.
As the 21st century approaches, we stand committed to building an infrastructure that will create an environment that protects and nurtures our future generations.
