India’s biggest hospital chain, which saw its gross revenue top ₹10,000 crore in FY20, has been at the forefront in the fight against Covid-19. Helmed by Reddy, Apollo Hospitals allocated over 2,000 beds for Covid-19 patients, which included 1,000 ICU beds or about 15%-20% of its overall capacity. In total, they treated close to 37,000 patients (as of September 14, 2020) and conducted more than 150,000 tests. Importantly, Apollo Hospitals was able to maintain a mortality rate of less than 1%, when the country’s average stood at about 1.5%.
