Apollo Hospital, Vizag, Visakhapatnam

Apollo Hospital in Visakhapatnam is a 110-bed NABH-accredited super-speciality hospital that opened in 1999. It provides tertiary medical, surgical, emergency and critical-care services, with ICU and inpatient facilities and round-the-clock pharmacy, laboratory and ambulance services.

Cardiology and cardiac surgery form a substantial part of the work, including angiography, angioplasty and bypass surgery. The hospital also performs kidney and liver transplantation, and its nephrology and urology programme offers 24/7 continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) support. Other departments include neurology, orthopaedics and joint replacement, gastroenterology, ENT with cochlear implant surgery, and emergency medicine.

Apollo Vizag suits patients in Visakhapatnam who need heart treatment, a transplant assessment, kidney or urology care, or emergency admission with intensive-care back-up. Anyone considering transplantation should ask which team would manage the operation and the follow-up.
