Apollo TeleHealth

What Apollo TeleHealth does

Apollo TeleHealth is the telemedicine division of Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Ltd. (AHEL), headquartered in Hyderabad, India, and operates what it describes as the largest and oldest multi-specialty telemedicine network in South Asia, with 20+ years of operating history dating to the establishment of the world's first VSAT-enabled telemedicine centre at Aragonda, Andhra Pradesh in 2000. The platform delivers teleconsultations across 95+ medical specialties through 700+ telemedicine centres, 350,000+ Common Service Centres (CSCs), and mobile medical units, integrating core service lines including TeleConsultations, Tele-Radiology, Tele-Cardiology, Tele-ICU (the "I See U" solution), Tele-Emergency, Tele-Ophthalmology, Tele-Audiology, Remote Patient Monitoring, and NCD/TB/Cancer screening programmes. The technology stack is built on ICT-enabled audio/video exchange, VSAT connectivity for low-infrastructure geographies, and integrated referrals into Apollo Diagnostics, Apollo Pharmacy, and the broader Apollo Hospitals ecosystem.

The business operates a hybrid B2G/B2B/B2C revenue model anchored on long-term public-private partnership (PPP) contracts with Indian state governments — including 120 telemedicine centres plus 134 teleradiology centres in Uttar Pradesh, 195 Urban Primary Health Centres and 115 tele-ophthalmology centres in Andhra Pradesh, 100 digital dispensaries in Jharkhand, 4 tele-emergency centres in Himachal Pradesh, and additional deployments in Meghalaya, Bhopal Smart City and Tripura (TTAADC). Beyond government, the company generates revenue from corporate employee wellness subscriptions (Healthy Motherhood, Condition Management, Diet Counselling, Psychiatry Counselling), direct-to-consumer teleconsultations via its website and mobile app, hospital turnkey Tele-ICU deployments, and international partnerships including an MoU with TeleHealthcare Malaysia for 100 tele-clinics and technical assistance through the Pan African e-Network Project. Reported unit economics from the Andhra Pradesh PPP indicate specialist teleconsultations at Rs. 165 per session and lab test costs at 28.84% of private laboratory rates, evidencing meaningful scale-driven cost leverage.
