Speaking on the occasion,
Dr.
Prathap C Reddy, Chairman, Apollo Hospitals Group said, “We all are
focussed on cure not care. I want people to focus on the CARE in HealthCare. Treating
diseases is not the only way to health. If we Care for our health we will not
need to cure anything ever. World is facing tsunami of NCDs (Non-communicable
diseases), that is threatening even our young generations. An economy like
ours, which is both ambitious and aggressive, needs healthy citizens to realise
its true potential. This is not possible with the growing menace of lifestyle
diseases or NCDs. Cancer, Diabetes, Strokes, Obesity, Smoking are increasingly impact
our capability, which in turn impacts our productivity & economic growth. Apollo
ProHealth is aninnovative giant step towards changing the way we treat our
health. A true healer heals before there is need to heal.”
Apollo Hospitals Grouphad introduced to the country its first ‘Personalized
Preventive Health Check’over four decades ago, and now we are introducing the
world’s most powerful preventive health management program to redefine newer
dimensionsof healthcare today. About 80% of NCDs mortality is preventable, and,Apollo
ProHealthprogram will help prevent these preventable deaths.” he added.
Ms. Preetha Reddy, Vice Chairperson, Apollo Hospitals Group said,
“Non-communicable diseases pose the greatest healthcare challenge. The WHO has
emphasized that chronic lifestyle ailments are best managed via preventive
measures. Preventive healthcare in the form of personalised and
healthmanagement programs can play a vital role in detecting diseases in their
early stages. Apollo ProHealth is designed on the three principles of Predict,
Prevent and Overcome to ensure tangible, measurable changes in the livesof
people. The use of AI to assess risk is backed by learning gained from over 20 million
health checks and the program will transform the concept of preventive
healthcare in the country. With the AI enabled personalised Health Risk
Assessment (pHRA), HealthMentor and appropriate clinical and life style
interventions every individual is guided at every step on to the pathway
towards healthy living.”
Ms.UpasanaKemineniKonidela,
Vice Chairperson, Apollo Foundation, Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Limited, said
on the occasion, “Work life dynamics are fast changing around us. Challenges of
the lifestyle diseases or NCDs (Non- Communicable Diseases) is on an up rise.
Our workforce is fast succumbing to tsunami of NCDs, suffering from preventable
deaths and disability due to Stroke, Diabetes, Cancer, Obesity, sleep
deprivation, Cardiac ailments etc. The situation is critical and alarming given
more people at increasingly younger ages falling prey to them. It is imperative
to bring Health into the main stream of business planning by corporate
organisations. Preventing workforce from the ill effects of tsunami of NCDs
using predictive tools to mitigate issues at an early stage is essential given
that this tsunami can strike anyone anytime. In today's complex and
fast-changing health care environment, visionary employers must
taking lead in providing innovative approaches for employee health and
well-being while realizing real results. I’m certain that a small shift from
curative to preventive health-watch with a mid to long term view will better
the health index of employees”.
Dr.Prathap C Reddy added, “Life is Priceless! The notional value
of a human body as indicated by scientists is in excess of 6 trillion dollars!
This is what it would cost if we had the ability to make a human being. It is
our responsibility to protect that which is truly priceless – our body and health! Let’s together declare war on NCDs and ensure good
health and happiness for all!”

ProHealth will be launched and available across the Apollo ecosystem by the end
