Apollo Hospitals was founded by Prathap C. Reddy in 1983 as the first corporate health care in India. The first branch at Chennai was inaugurated by the then President of India Zail Singh. [12]

Apollo developed telemedicine services, after starting a pilot project in 2000 at Aragonda, Prathap Reddy's home village. [13]

In 2006, Apollo exited its hospital in Colombo called Apollo Hospital Sri Lanka by selling its stake to Sri Lanka Insurance. [14]

In 2007, Apollo Hospitals and DKV AG established a 74:26 joint venture health insurance company called Apollo DKV Insurance Co. [15] The company was rebranded as Apollo Munich Health Insurance in 2009. [16]

In 2008, Apollo Hospitals started Apollo Reach, a chain of hospitals for Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities as well as semi-urban and rural areas, with the opening of the first Apollo Reach hospital in Karimnagar. [17] [18]

In December 2012, Apollo Hospitals sold its 38% stake in Apollo Health Street, the group's healthcare business process outsourcing division, to Sutherland Global Services for ₹225 crore (US$42.11 million). [19]

In 2014, Apollo Hospitals acquired Hetero Med Solutions, a South Indian pharmacy chain with 320 stores, from Hetero Group for ₹146 crore (US$23.92 million) in a slump sale. The stores were rebranded as Apollo Pharmacy. [20]

In October 2015, Apollo launched home care services under Apollo HomeCare [21] and its digital healthcare platform called Ask Apollo. [22]

Apollo signed an MoU with Health Education England in April 2017 to provide a large number of doctors to fill vacancies in the English National Health Service. [23]

In September 2017, Apollo announced an academic collaboration with Australia’s Macquarie University, where students enrolled in Macquarie's four-year graduate entry Doctor of Medicine program would complete 5 months of clinical rotations at Apollo hospitals in Hyderabad as part of their degree. [24]

In January 2019, Apollo opened Apollo Proton Cancer Centre in Chennai, which is reportedly the first proton therapy facility across South Asia, Southeast Asia and the Middle East. [25] [26]

In 2020, Apollo Hospitals sold its 50.80% percent majority stake in Apollo Munich Health Insurance to HDFC for ₹1,495 crore (US$201.76 million).

Controversies

Allegations of illegal organ trade

British newspaper Telegraph in a December 2023 report [43] alleged that the chain's Indraprastha Apollo Hospital was involved in facilitating a "cash-for-kidney" scam, luring impoverished Myanmar villagers to sell their kidneys to wealthy Burmese patients through forged documents and fabricated family ties. [44] The Government of Delhi consequently initiated an investigation against the hospital. [45]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Telehealth</span> Health care by telecommunication

Telehealth is the distribution of health-related services and information via electronic information and telecommunication technologies. It allows long-distance patient and clinician contact, care, advice, reminders, education, intervention, monitoring, and remote admissions. Telemedicine is sometimes used as a synonym, or is used in a more limited sense to describe remote clinical services, such as diagnosis and monitoring. When rural settings, lack of transport, a lack of mobility, conditions due to outbreaks, epidemics or pandemics, decreased funding, or a lack of staff restrict access to care, telehealth may bridge the gap as well as provide distance-learning; meetings, supervision, and presentations between practitioners; online information and health data management and healthcare system integration. Telehealth could include two clinicians discussing a case over video conference; a robotic surgery occurring through remote access; physical therapy done via digital monitoring instruments, live feed and application combinations; tests being forwarded between facilities for interpretation by a higher specialist; home monitoring through continuous sending of patient health data; client to practitioner online conference; or even videophone interpretation during a consult.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the telehealth industry</span> Impact of coronavirus on telehealth

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, telehealth adoption was gradually increasing. Some patients preferred in-person consultations and expressed concerns about privacy during video calls. However, with the outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020, healthcare professionals reduced in-person visits to minimize exposure. As a result, telehealth usage surged dramatically, experiencing a 5,000% increase from February to March 2020. Telehealth has since remained widely utilized in healthcare services.
