Nova Speciality Hospitals are now Apollo Spectra Hospitals

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.

As reported by IANS,

"Apollo Spectra endeavours to provide world-class treatment. Through this launch, AHLL delivers on its promise to create newer ways to deliver high quality healthcare, through enhanced service delivery models," said Sudhir Diggikar, director (secondary care), AHLL.

The value of Apollo Spectra Hospitals current operations is around Rs.100 crore and plans to achieve business operations worth Rs.500 crore in five years' time, Diggikar added.

Founded by C. Pratap Reddy three decades ago, Apollo Group offers healthcare through Apollo Clinic, Sugar and Diagnostics under primary care, Apollo Cradle and Apollo Spectra Hospitals under secondary care and Apollo Hospitals under tertiary care.

AHLL acquired Nova Specialty Hospitals six months ago for a consideration of Rs.140 crore and spent around Rs.8 crore to upgrade the hospitals to relaunch them as 'Boutique' hospitals under Apollo Spectra brand, Diggikar said.
