Apollo Hospitals extends facilities to all days of the week
The new initiative extends access on Sundays to outpatient consultations, diagnostics, preventive health checks, follow-up consultations, and scheduled procedures
On Tuesday, August 18, 2026, Apollo Hospitals announced the launch of a new initiative called 'Always Open. Always Here.' This program aims to provide routine and planned healthcare services on all seven days of the week, including Sundays. While emergency, critical care, and in-patient services have always been available 24/7, the new initiative expands Sunday access to outpatient specialist consultations, diagnostics, preventive health checks, follow-up consultations, and scheduled procedures.
The availability of these services is subject to hospital-specific schedules and service readiness, enabling patients and families to seek timely care without having to wait for a weekday.
According to Prathap C. Reddy, founder and chairperson of the Apollo Hospitals Group, 'Always Open. Always Here' provides patients with an additional day to address their health concerns before the delay escalates into a risk. Preetha Reddy, executive vice chairperson of Apollo Hospitals, emphasized the importance of making it easier for working professionals, caregivers, and families to prioritize their health.
With this initiative, individuals can conveniently consult a doctor, undergo a health check, or continue with follow-up care on Sundays, which can significantly impact their overall well-being. The initiative leverages Apollo Hospitals' existing clinical infrastructure, including doctors, diagnostics, operating theaters, and coordinated care teams, to ensure a structured and patient-friendly experience.
