The newly upgraded hospital seeks to offer high quality service, with effectively providing a clutter-free environment. The hospitals group also plans to increase the footprint of Apollo Spectra Hospitals from the current 7 to 11 hospitals, by the end of 2015.

Each of the Apollo Spectra Hospitals is now equipped with a two-bedded surgical intensive care unit with 24x7 anaesthesia support and critical care back-up. The new brand from Apollo Group is also planning to set up five centres of excellence in orthopaedics, obesity, urology, MIS and ENT.
