Dr Prathap C Reddy, Founder of Apollo Hospitals
Dr Prathap C Reddy, M.D, MBBS, FCCP, FICA, FRCS (Hony) is a Cardiologist and entrepreneur who founded the first corporate chain of hospitals in India – the Apollo Hospitals Group. He revolutionized the health care scenario of India and inspired others to follow suit. Today, India has over 750 corporate hospitals all over the country.
The dream of making world-class medical facilities in India spurred him to set up Apollo Hospitals in Chennai in 1983 at a time when private healthcare institutions were virtually unknown in our country. The new Hospital attracted the best medical talent, including eminent non-resident Indian doctors from hospitals in the US and UK to return to India: this was the first major reversal in the pattern of brain drain.
Dr Reddy was awarded the Padma Bhushan in 1991 for his contribution to the emergence of the private healthcare sector and his role in bringing about several regulatory changes relating to licensing, import restrictions, organ transplantation, etc. He received a number of esteemed awards and recognitions such as Mother St Teresa’s ‘Citizen of the Year Award’, recognition in a Harvard School publication for pioneering efforts in healthcare, ‘Life Time Achievement Award’ by Hospimedica International, the ‘Asia Pacific Bio Business Leadership Award’ by the University of Southern California, Modern Medicare Excellence Award by the ICICI Group for outstanding achievements in the healthcare industry and several others.
Dr Prathap C Reddy was conferred with second highest civilian award, the “Padma Vibhushan” in March 2010. This unequalled commendation from the Government of India is an acknowledgement of his untiring pursuit for excellence in healthcare as Apollo strives towards touching a billion lives.
