Apollo Clinic Launches 500th Global Healthcare Destination in Chennai’s Velachery
Chennai: Apollo Clinic, one of India’s leading multi-specialty healthcare chains, has marked a major milestone with the inauguration of its 500th clinic globally, located in the bustling Velachery neighborhood of Chennai. This new facility also represents Apollo’s 30th clinic in Chennai, reinforcing its commitment to expanding access to high-quality healthcare across Tamil Nadu.
The Velachery clinic was inaugurated by Dr. Sangita Reddy, Joint Managing Director, Apollo Hospitals Group, and actor Ms. Sakshi Agarwal. Spanning 4,000 sq. ft. across three floors, the clinic is designed as a comprehensive healthcare destination, integrating specialist consultations, diagnostics, preventive health checks, and pharmacy services under one roof.
Apollo Clinic Velachery offers a wide range of core services including consultations with expert doctors, diagnostic and ultrasound services, vaccinations, dental care, and complete health check-up packages. The facility is staffed by a team of 22 experienced doctors and trained medical personnel, providing specialized care in gynecology, ENT, pediatrics, psychiatry, orthopedics, pulmonology, and other disciplines.
Speaking at the launch, Dr. Sangita Reddy emphasized the importance of preventive healthcare in combating Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs), which account for 65% of all deaths in India. “This new clinic is a significant step in our mission to deliver integrated, patient-centric care that is accessible and affordable. Through the Apollo ProHealth program, we offer curated preventive health checks powered by Artificial Intelligence and Personalized Health Risk Assessment (pHRA), enabling individuals to proactively manage their health,” she said.
As part of its commitment to cardiac care, Apollo also introduced a proactive heart health initiative during the launch. The new LP-PLA2 (PLAC) Test is a cutting-edge diagnostic tool designed to detect early signs of atherosclerosis, a condition caused by the buildup of fatty plaques in the arteries. This screening package aims to empower patients with timely insights into their heart health.
Apollo Clinics currently serve over 12,000 patients daily across India and abroad, including locations in Dubai and Bangladesh. With more than 3,500 qualified doctors operating across its network, Apollo continues to set benchmarks in accessible, quality healthcare.
The strategic placement of the Velachery clinic reflects Apollo’s vision of bringing expert care closer to communities. Residents can book appointments through the Apollo Clinic website or by calling the toll-free number 1860-500-7788.
