An exclusive OPD service, complimentary pick up and drop facility and
discounted consultation fee are among the latest offerings for senior
citizens by the Apollo Hospital, Noida, an official said Sunday.
"We recognise the growing need for specialised health care for senior
citizens. In order to facilitate easy access to its Out-Patient
Department (OPD), the hospital would provide them complimentary pick
and drop facility within a radius of five km with pre-scheduled
appointments," the hospital official said at an event here.
In addition, discounted consultation, diagnostic and in-patient
service are also being offered, the official added.
According to Apollo, the new initiative would ensure that the senior
citizens are minimally dependent on others in accessing prompt and
quality medical attention.
"There is a fairly large population of senior citizens in the
district. It is overwhelming to see such initiatives which shall cater
to the healthcare needs of elderly," said Noida district magistrate
Kumar Ravi Kant, who was the guest of honour at the event.
A.K. Singhal, vice-president of Apollo, said: "The facility was a
culmination of the hospital's concerted efforts towards improving the
overall health and well-being of senior citizens."
