Apollo Hospitals' head releases his biography

MUMBAI: President Pranab Mukherjee was presented a copy of the biography on Dr Prathap Chandra Reddy at Rastrapati Nilayam on Tuesday. The 600-page biography, "Healer: Dr. Prathap Chandra Reddy and the Transformation of India," is authored by Pranay Gupte, veteran international journalist and biographer.

The book's publication comes on the occasion of Dr. Reddy's 80th birthday, and the 30th anniversary of the founding of Apollo Hospitals. In presenting the book to Mukherjee, Dr Reddy, founder and chairman of Apollo Hospitals, noted that the president has long been associated with encouraging the growth of India's healthcare sector.

The biography traces Dr. Reddy's journey from Aragonda to medical school in Madras to a flourishing cardiology practice in the US. At the age of 50, Dr Reddy returned to India at the behest of his father in order to make a contribution to his homeland.

Recognizing that healthcare in India was delivered mainly by government hospitals and philanthropic institutions that lacked proper facilities; Dr Reddy started the Apollo Hospitals. He also persuaded several Indian doctors living abroad to come home again.

"Pranab Mukherjee recognized the urgent need to transform healthcare in our country," Dr. Reddy said. "The President-along with the late Prime Ministers Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi-has long believed that a society's health affects its productivity," Dr. Reddy said.
