The Apollo Foundation

In order to achieve this goal universally, we established the Apollo Foundation.

The vision of Dr. Prathap C Reddy, the Founder of Apollo Hospitals Group is what translates into the mission of the Apollo Foundation, which is, "to create meaningful interactions with people of our society, and help enhance their quality of life in every way we can."

We have always strongly believed in pioneering social initiatives that help surpass barriers and make a real difference. With an aim to upgrade the standards of healthcare across various regions, we have started several impactful programmes.

They cover:

Rural Development
Healthcare
Research in Healthcare
Education, Skill Development and Vocational Training

In addition to this, Apollo Foundation also works extensively in the areas of Pediatric Cardiology, Cancer Care, Cardiovascular Risk Awareness, Hearing Impairment, Medical Awareness Campaigns, Distance Healthcare and Disaster Relief Programmes. With organizations like SACHi, The Billion Hearts Beating Foundation, SAHI, CURE, DISHA, REACH we aspire to make timely and quality healthcare available to all.

Total Health

Under Rural Development, our focus has been on providing total holistic care for the entire community. And in this regard, "Total Health", a not for profit organization was set up. Thavanampalle Mandal in Chittoor district, Andhra Pradesh was identified to implement all the activities under "Total Health". Initially, the activities were carried out in Aragonda Gram Panchayat but are now extended to the other Gram Panchayats of the Mandal as well, impacting more than 70,000 lives in the process.

Total Health also aims to provide holistic health care for the entire community starting from birth through their journey into childhood, adolescence, adulthood and in the later years of their life. Other activities initiated include providing safe drinking water, extension of sanitation facilities, setting up of Nutrition Centres, Vocational Training Centres facilitating skill development and training, Mobile Medical Units - primary & preventive health care including diagnostics, promotion and revival of rural sport and Yoga, conducting regular health camps and running a state-of-the-art Primary School, "Apollo Isha Vidhya Niketan", in collaboration with the ISHA Foundation.
