Apollo
Hospitals in tie-up talks with US firms to develop managed-care
products
Apollo Hospitals is talking to two major companies
in the US to develop a `managed-care’ product in India. The move is
in anticipation of receiving a licence, once health insurance is
privatised, allowing 26 percent foreign equity.
Managed-care, unlike standard health insurance schemes, focusses on
keeping an individual healthy with regular awareness programmes and
periodic check-ups. Apollo is already running a managed-care scheme,
alongwith a company called Family Healthcare, using the health insurance
product of GIC. Speaking at the AGM of Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Ltd
in Chennai, Dr Reddy announced the launch of a cardiac rehabilitation
programme by Dassera that will provide holistic guidance to heart
patients. In the next 3 years, the company pans to add 2600 beds in 11
multi-speciality hospitals, 16 primary care hospitals and 23 day care
hospitals with an investment of Rs.2000 crore.
