Prathap C Reddy, Chairman, Apollo Hospitals Group said, The first half of FY23 is a clear sign that the pandemic is now behind us. However, we continue to be vigilant with appropriate precautions in all our facilities. We have seen a return of patients to our facilities for treatment of chronic diseases, which bodes well for our fight against the tsunami of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). We have also seen a significant increase in the number of international patients coming to us, even though air services remain lower than pre-covid levels.
The Governments' thrust on Heal in India is inspirational, and I have no doubt that India will soon be the foremost global destination for high-quality healthcare. We look forward to the second half of FY23 with renewed confidence and a stronger will to deliver the best of healthcare to the people of India and the world.
