THE STATE OF COMPANY AFFAIRS
The Hospital remained committed to providing world class quality healthcare and
services. Focus continued on improving operational efficiencies across functions,
improving patient services and enhancing safety for patients and staff.
During the year under review, several complex procedures were performed by our team of
clinicians, bringing respite to many chronically ill patients and their families. The
following rare procedures were performed at the Indraprastha Apollo Hospital:
?? First robotic left lateral donor hepatectomy was performed for a
one-year-old child with biliary atresia, with his father as the donor. Despite the complex
anatomy, the surgery went smoothly. The donor was discharged on the sixth day, and the
recipient was discharged two and a half weeks post-transplant.
?? A 16-year-old boy from Egypt with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCMP) and
end-stage heart failure urgently needed a heart transplant but was too ill to wait for a
matching donor heart. In the year 2021, he was implanted with a Heart Mate 3 LVAD and
recovered well. Since then, he had been on the waiting list for a donor heart. During the
year under review, matched donor heart was found. The heart was retrieved and he
successfully underwent a Heart Transplant. His recovery was smooth, and he was discharged
after eleven days. He continues to be on follow up with us. This marks the 5th Heart
Transplant at Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals.
?? A 31-year-old female from Kenya presented with occasional back pain and
abdominal pain. She was diagnosed with Takayasu's arteritis thoracoabdominal aortic
aneurysm (TAAA) and anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA) positive. She was on immunosuppressants
and anticoagulation posing a significant challenge to the treatment. After
multi-disciplinary optimisation, she underwent open repair of the TAAA. Her postoperative
period was complex but eventually patient made a complete recovery and discharged after 10
days.
?? A 46-year-old female was diagnosed with left eye Choroidal Melanoma after
experiencing flashes of light and photopsia for two months. Fundoscopy and CE-MRI of the
orbit confirmed a choroidal melanoma extending near the optic nerve without completely
covering it. For the first time, we successfully performed GRS with ZAP-X on a patient
with ocular melanoma, delivering a precise dose to the lesion under anesthetic sedation.
The procedure was well tolerated, and at the 1.5-month follow-up, the patient's vision
remains intact, and she continues to do well.
?? A 69-year-old male, presented with persistent uncontrolled Hypertension on 4
Anti-hypertensive drugs with Left Ventricular Failure. Patient had significant coronary
artery disease- status post PTCA stent and Cerebrovascular Disease- Old Stroke, Status
post Carotid Artery Stenting and Vertebral Artery stenting. He underwent Percutaneous
sympathetic Renal Denervation Therapy which successfully reduced his Blood Pressure.
?? A Computer-Assisted Reverse Shoulder Replacement was successfully performed
on a 67-year-old patient suffering from chronic shoulder pain due to advanced degenerative
arthritis. The procedure utilised cutting- edge 3D preoperative planning software, which
enabled precise implant positioning, enhanced surgical accuracy, and is expected to
significantly improve the long-term function and durability of the prosthetic joint.
?? A 22-year-old MBBS student, battling unexplained transient ischemic attacks
for years, faced a sudden stroke. An extensive neurological and vascular workup revealed
-multiple pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs), two of which were critical, a
rare but dangerous condition allowing paradoxical embolism. Using vascular plugs and
coils, the largest AVMs were embolised, successfully closing the shunt and preventing
further embolisation. Oxygen saturation surged from critically low levels of 75% to 96%,
cyanosis resolved, and clubbing regressed.
Apollo Hospital, Noida continued to perform well across all operational parameters and
remained one of the leading destinations for Mother and Child Care, Minimal Invasive
Laparoscopic Surgeries, Dialysis & Daycare Chemotherapy and Preventive Health Checks.
On a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) regarding free treatment in the hospital, the
Hon'ble Delhi High Court vide its order dated September 22, 2009, has held that free
treatment provided by the hospital shall be inclusive of medicines & medical
consumables.
The Company has filed a Special Leave Petition (SLP) before the Hon'ble Supreme Court
of India challenging the order of the Hon'ble Delhi High Court. The Hon'ble Supreme Court
has admitted the SLP and has passed an interim order on November 30, 2009, pursuant to
which, the Company has been providing free treatment to the patients referred by the
Government of NCT of Delhi and has been charging only for
medicines & medical consumables. The financial impact in the matter can be
quantified only after the final decision by the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India.
The Directorate of Health Services, Government of NCT of Delhi, has appointed a Nodal
Medical Officer to be permanently stationed in the Hospital to support, guide and monitor
the treatment of patients referred by the Government.
The Company has moved an Interlocutory Application before the Hon'ble Supreme Court
seeking direction that the conditions relating to provision of free treatment facilities
for patients belonging to indigent category to the extent of 10% IPD and 25% OPD be made
applicable to the Company as have been made applicable in case of other hospitals.
