The Apollo Group of Hospitals Wednesday announced the expansion of their
diabetes clinics - Sugar Clinics - from 13 to 100 in 90 days.
The
group will be adding 87 more Sugar Clinics over the next 90 days across
the country and bulk of them will be housed in existing Apollo
Hospitals.
"We expect the expansion to 100 clinics in next 90
days. Housing the clinics inside the existing hospitals would give the
added advantage of easy accessibility to all the patients," Sangita
Reddy, Apollo Hopitals's executive director (Operations), told reporters
here.
The group also announced launch of round the clock disease
management programme to support patients through a website, mobile
application and call centre, under the Sugar 24X7 brand.
According
to Pratap C. Reddy, chairman of the group, the expansion programme of
Sugar Clinic will be done fast as India faces the challenge of diabetes
in a serious way.
