- AI enables more precise diagnoses and faster treatment.
- Indian private healthcare attracts patients from over 150 countries.
Dr. Prathap Reddy, the visionary founder of Apollo Hospitals, a pioneering force in Indian corporate healthcare for over four decades, is urging medical professionals across India to wholeheartedly adopt artificial intelligence. At 93, Dr. Reddy remains actively involved, emphasizing AI's transformative potential in diagnostics and patient care.
