DTMT Network

Apollo Hospitals on October 6, 2021, launched the Apollo Centre of Excellence in Critical Care (ACECC).

The ACECC will harness digital technology to create an integrated network of eICUs providing world-class critical care not just across the Apollo Hospitals network but also in partnership with non-Apollo units in India and abroad.

“The ACECC will comprise digital technology enabled Critical Care Units (CCUs) having standard protocols and operating procedures (SOPs) supported by smart solutions,” the hospital said in a statement.

The hospital further added that this will enable expansion of the critical care network through e-ICUs using Tele-health and Apollo Connect. The ACECC will also focus on evidence-based protocols, training, and capacity building of critical care specialists.

“The ACECC will enable wider and timely access to critical care and help in implementing a standardised scope of management and treatment in emergencies and critical medical situations,” the hospital said.

While launching the center, Dr. Prathap C Reddy, Chairman, Apollo Hospitals Group, said, “Critical illness leads to millions of deaths each year. However, critical care faces challenges due to factors such as lack of prioritisation, co-ordination, timely identification and availability of basic life-saving treatments.”

“At Apollo Hospitals, we have the vision, expertise and ability to transform critical care for India and beyond through excellence in outcomes in an evidence based cost effective manner,” he adde.

“The Apollo Centre of Excellence in Critical Care will be instrumental in turning this vision into reality. The ACECC goes beyond Apollo Hospitals through partnerships with non-Apollo units, both public and private, to add value and make it a win-win for patients, doctors, nursing homes and hospitals across India,” explained Dr Reddy.
