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
Apollo Hospitals declared on Tuesday, August 18, 2026, the introduction of 'Always Open. Always Here.', a service extending routine and planned healthcare to all seven days, including Sundays. Emergency, critical care, and inpatient services have traditionally operated 24/7; however, this new initiative brings additional Sunday access to outpatient specialist consultations, diagnostics, preventive health checks, follow-up consultations, and scheduled procedures, contingent on hospital-specific schedules and readiness.
The aim is to enable patients and families to receive timely care without having to wait for a weekday. Prathap C. Reddy, the founder and chairperson of Apollo Hospitals Group, emphasized that 'Always Open. Always Here' provides patients an extra day to address their health before delay escalates into risk. Preetha Reddy, executive vice chairperson of Apollo Hospitals, added that the initiative acknowledges the need for medical care to fit more seamlessly into the lives of working professionals, caregivers, and families managing multiple responsibilities.
The initiative intends to leverage Apollo Hospitals' existing clinical infrastructure, including doctors, diagnostics, operating theaters, and coordinated care teams, to make Sunday healthcare more structured and patient-friendly.
