Marking its anniversary, leaders including Sangita Reddy and Tejesvi Rao Veerepalli reflected on Apollo’s journey from a pioneering hospital to a centre where technology and compassion work side by side
Thirty-seven years ago, when Apollo Hospitals opened its doors in Hyderabad, it was among the first private healthcare institutions in India to imagine that world-class treatment could be accessible at home, without patients having to travel abroad. Today, the hospital stands as a fixture in the city’s collective memory – a place associated not just with medical milestones but with trust built across generations.
Over the decades, Apollo Hyderabad has introduced several innovations – from advanced imaging and robotic surgery to organ transplantation and preventive health programmes while also shaping the idea that healthcare must combine compassion with technology. Its anniversary was therefore not only about looking back but about recognising a relationship with the city that has endured across families, doctors, and patients.
Speaking at the occasion, Sangita Reddy, Joint Managing Director of Apollo Hospitals, said that the hospital’s story is inseparable from the community it serves. She noted that Hyderabad’s growth as a centre of science and medicine has been tied to Apollo’s ability to introduce new standards of care and inspire confidence in millions of patients.
Tejesvi Rao Veerepalli, Vice President of Apollo Hospitals Hyderabad, added that longevity in healthcare is not measured only in years but in the lives touched. He highlighted the dedication of long-serving doctors, nurses, and staff who have carried the institution’s culture of empathy and excellence forward.
The anniversary celebrations included recognition of employees who have been with the hospital through much of its journey, underscoring the idea that Apollo’s legacy lies as much in its people as in its technology.
As Apollo Hospitals Hyderabad moves into its 38th year, it remains at the intersection of tradition and innovation – combining state-of-the-art infrastructure with the simple promise of care that began nearly four decades ago.
