Apollo Hospitals to expand footprint with local tie-ups, bets on Modicare

Is also bullish on entry of institutional players in healthcare, is focusing now on north Indian market

India’s largest hospital chain Apollo, with total capacity of 10,000 beds, is looking to sew partnerships with local healthcare sector players to expand its network and reach.

The Group, promoted by Prathap Reddy, is also bullish that the domestic healthcare sector will grow exponentially on the back of radial public health programmes, such as Modicare, and the entry of other institutional players.

“There is an acute shortage of hospital beds and we have been striving to provide quality healthcare through local partnerships and our chain of clinics and telemedicine units,” Apollo Hospitals joint managing director Sangeeta Reddy told Business Standard in Lucknow.
