The mobile healthcare platform is designed to deliver comprehensive health checks directly to workplaces, gated communities, associations and more.

On June 15, in front of numerous dignitaries, the Apollo Health Check on Wheels program was introduced in Aroghya Soudha, Bangalore. This initiative’s primary goal is to identify, treat, and prevent non-communicable diseases in the best way possible for the general population. It also aims to reach out to the public for early detection, treatment, and prevention at their convenience.

India has been grappling with the formidable challenge of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, and obesity for the past two decades. According to Apollo’s Health of the Nation 2024 report, these conditions are on the rise with alarming statistics: 2 out of 3 people are pre-hypertensive, 1 out of 3 are pre-diabetic, and 1 in 10 have uncontrolled diabetes. Additionally, 3 out of 4 people are overweight or obese. Regular and timely health checks are essential in preventing and managing these conditions.

Speaking at the inauguration, Mr Dinesh Gundu Rao, State Minister for Health & Family Welfare, Karnataka, said, we celebrate the launch of Apollo Health Check on Wheels, a transformative initiative by Apollo Hospitals, which brings preventive healthcare directly to the doorsteps of our citizens.
