What makes Apollo outstanding in all its endeavours is the personalized care that is given to the patients. The nurses are the pride of Apollo and their motto "Service with a smile" is meticulously translated into action while serving the sick. An Apollo nurse is not merely a caregiver, she is a computer savvy, confident and highly resourceful person who can deftly handle the 'state-of-the-art' equipment in the hospital. Tender Loving Care (TLC) was at the core of Apollo Hospitals model of care and it continues to be the magic that inspires hope, warmth and a sense of ease in the patients.
