Philips and Apollo Hospitals Unite to Transform India's Stroke and Heart Care

Philips, a leader in health technology, and Apollo Hospitals, a major player in India's healthcare sector, have entered into a non-exclusive Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore initiatives aimed at improving stroke care and structural heart disease management across the nation.

The MoU focuses on strengthening technology-enabled care pathways by combining Philips' advanced imaging capabilities with Apollo's clinical knowledge, particularly in complex and time-sensitive care scenarios. This comes at a time when India is witnessing a surge in stroke cases, with figures doubling from 1990 to 2021.

The collaboration is poised to enable integrated decision-making, enhancing operational efficiency, and improving patient outcomes. Through initiatives like accelerating imaging workflows for stroke care and improving procedural accuracy in heart disease management, Philips and Apollo aim to redefine patient care pathways when every minute is critical.
