Apollo Cradle – exclusively for Childbirth, Mother and childcare par excellence
And for a Friday in Chennai welcoming the arrival of our third Grandkid….. some thoughts…..
Awaiting news of my Grandchild and the yonder days when my Son was born seems so different. Those days in the Eighties, I left all aspects to two sets of Parents and the Doctors. Less knowledge and no time to worry. It all happened in a Jiffy. But now as a GrandParent, more information, huge anxiety, suspense, nervousness, speculation – baby boy? baby girl? But mostly a thousand prayers – just give us a healthy baby. And then the Operation Door opens and announcement….. All well Baby and Mother fine….. oooff….. suddenly huge Relief happiness and a sudden rush of Cool breeze unto the body system. God’s Grace and Chennai’s Apollo Cradle Hospital. Tag line says it all….. Delivering Joy.
Chennai is undoubtedly the Country’s Premier Medical destination. A study by CII says 40% of Medical Tourism comes to Chennai. The city is famous for patients within the country and from abroad. At the high end hospitals like the Apollo group have super specialities. The city has phenomenal research facilities in stem cell, tissue engineering, Nano technology, integrating Traditional and alternative medicines such as Ayurveda, Naturopathy and Siddha. The Coromamdel Express which connects Kolkatta to Chennai is often nicknamed as “Ambulance Express” as she disgorges hundreds of Patients everyday from all over East and North East India. Main reason – medical treatment is competitive, low cost, no waiting period and excellent infrastructure.
India has changed. We have some of the best medical capabilities. But our Potential is much much more. Let’s build a healthy India, the Legal way, the Ethical way, the SEEGOS way.
