Staff Nurse Jobs in Hyderabad - Apollo

For decades now, the healthcare sector has been plagued with issues like accessibility, availability and affordability. There are just 0.65 Doctors per 1000 population and 25% of India's hospital beds are in major metro's which houses only 7% of our population. This urban-rural mismatch and inequity makes it difficult for traditional healthcare delivery models to fulfil its objective, calling out the need for innovative technologies that will help remote areas get access to affordable healthcare. One such innovation, conceptualized and executed to address all three issues is Telemedicine.

With the vision of bringing healthcare of international standards within the reach of every individual, Dr Prathap C Reddy in 1999 established Apollo Telemedicine Networking Foundation (ATNF) and Apollo Telehealth Services (ATHS), which is the largest and oldest multi-speciality telemedicine network in South Asia. On March 24th 2000, Bill Clinton, the then US president, commissioned the world's first VSAT enabled village hospital at Aragonda in Chitoor District of Andhra Pradesh. This marked the formal introduction of telehealth services in India.

Apollo has gained more than thirteen years of hands on experience and knowledge in this field. During above mentioned period Apollo has implemented more than 200 telemedicine centers nationally and internationally. Apollo is one of the major player in providing telemedicine services under PAN African network initiated by Government of India. In addition to providing healthcare services it has been providing tele-education and tele-mentoring services as well.

Apollo Tele Health Services (ATHS) is the commercial wing of Apollo Telemedicine initiatives backed on vast knowledge and experience that has been gathered over above mentioned period.
