One of Apollo’s significant contributions has been the adoption of clinical excellence as an industry standard. Apollo pioneered the concept – the group was the first to invest in the pre-requisites that led to international quality accreditation like the JCI and also developed centers of excellence in Cardiac Sciences, Orthopaedics, Neurosciences, Emergency Care, Cancer, and Organ Transplantation. Along with excellence, the Apollo philosophy rests on the pillars of technological superiority, a warm patient-centric approach, a clear and distinct cost advantage, and an edge in forward-looking research. Apollo’s spectacular success rests on sustained commitment and investments in each of these pillars.

Currently, the group believes in the tremendous potential of robotics and is investing heavily in making it a real and robust option for all. Apollo pioneered Tender Loving Care (TLC) and it continues to be the magic that inspires hope, warmth, and a sense of ease in the patients.
