Premium healthcare services provider Apollo Hospitals and
KOS Group of Italy announced the opening of an exclusive
rehabilitation centre for post-operation care to patients.
The joint venture was India’s first complete for
neurological, orthopaedic, cardiopulmonary, paediatric, geriatric and cancer
patients, said ApoKos Rehab Director.
Dr. Antonello Morgantini and Chief
Operating Officer Dr. Rahul Khandelwal. It is aimed at addressing the huge,
untapped potential in medical rehabilitation services in India, they explained.
India's rehab and physiotherapy market in the organised and
unorganised sectors is estimated at about Rs. 20 billion per annum. As of now,
the market is concentrated around home or out-patient physiotherapy and for
most patients it provided sub-optimal care leading to slow and incomplete
recovery.
Dr. Antonello said they brought in time-tested European
rehabilitation protocols to India for the first time and focused on providing
intensive, goal-oriented rehabilitation, they helped provide the best chance of
recovery for patients.
The ApoKos Rehabilitation Hospital here would be a 64-bedded
centre with a mix of single and sharing rooms, besides fully-equipped
physiotherapy and occupational therapy gyms.
Dr. Rahul Khandelwal said ApoKOS provides hope, expertise
and motivation for patients who have experienced a life-altering medical
condition or clinical procedure.
“We are committed to bridging the gap from illness and
injury to health and well-being,” he said.
