Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Ltd.

Apollo Hospitals is likely to take an initiative to link the health records of patients with the Aadhaar identification system. The company is in discussion with the various industry bodies like FICCI, CII and Nasscom towards creating a national pool of electronic health records which can be linked to the Aadhaar.

The entity has one million patient healthcare records. But only a part of that is digitized. In the last three years, the discharge summary of every patient has been made available electronically. Apollo is also trying to get mobile phone companies to create an application that makes health information available at the click of an icon.
