Apollo Hospitals has strengthened its healthcare presence in Gurugram with the launch of a National Reference Laboratory and a new Apollo Clinic in Sector 52. The inauguration follows the recent opening of Apollo Hospital in the city and aims to bring comprehensive healthcare and advanced diagnostic services closer to local communities.
Olympic medallist Saina Nehwal attended the inauguration as the chief guest.
The new facility integrates primary and specialist consultations with advanced diagnostic services, enabling residents to access a wider range of healthcare solutions within their neighbourhood.
The National Reference Laboratory will support Apollo Hospitals in Gurugram with a testing capacity of more than 3,000 investigations. It is equipped with advanced robotic systems and AI-enabled Digi-Smart Track technology to facilitate routine and specialised diagnostic testing.
The laboratory will focus on accuracy, reliability and timely reporting, helping clinicians make informed decisions and support better patient care.
Speaking at the launch, Dr. Sangita Reddy, Joint Managing Director of Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Limited, highlighted the importance of strengthening preventive healthcare, early diagnosis and access to medical expertise. She emphasised the need to make quality healthcare more accessible to families and encourage regular health monitoring.
The launch also marked the introduction of the Apollo Family Health Card, which combines consultation services and preventive healthcare benefits under a single plan, encouraging families to prioritise routine medical care.
Highlighting the role of emerging technologies, Dr. Sangita Reddy said, “As healthcare enters an extraordinary era of transformation, with AI, advanced medical technologies and precision medicine reshaping the possibilities of care, we must ensure that progress never comes at the cost of the human connection. Technology must strengthen the human touch, innovation must improve patient outcomes, and excellence must always be anchored in compassion. This is the balance we must strive for as we build the future of healthcare.”
With this expansion, Apollo Hospitals aims to strengthen its healthcare network in Gurugram by combining advanced diagnostics, accessible consultations and preventive health services, with a continued focus on patient-centred care.
