 OPERATIONS
 
 During the year under review, the total income of the Company increased
 to Rs. 52,262.03 lakhs from Rs. 46,241.50 lakhs in the previous year. The
 profit after tax stood at Rs. 2,699.60 lakhs against Rs. 3,072.49
 lakhs in the previous year.
 
 The Indraprastha Apollo Hospital recorded all round growth. It was a
 year of outstanding growth for the Organ Transplant Centre. Kidney
 transplants increased by 93 per cent (from 176 to 340), Liver
 transplant increased by 31 per cent (from 167 to 219) over the previous
 year. The Renal transplant team achieved a special milestone when it
 performed Delhi''s first successful Kidney transplant between patients
 of different blood groups. This cutting edge procedure involving
 targeted immunotherapy gives new hope for renal transplantation in
 cases of donor and recipient blood group mismatch.
 
 New registration of in-patients increased by 8.5 per cent, out patient
 volume increased by 7 per cent, average daily bed occupancy increased
 from 477 to 516, the number of surgeries increased by 10 per cent, Cath
 procedures increased by 11 per cent, Dialysis increased by 8 per cent,
 Radiation Oncology increased by 17 per cent, MRI procedures rose by 13
 per cent, CT Scan procedures increased by 11 per cent, and the Total
 Hip & Knee Replacements increased by 21 per cent over the previous
 year.
 
 The Hospital continued to attract a large number of international
 patients globally, with almost 22,000 international patients (around
 5000 in patients and 17,000 out patients) having been treated at
 Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals.
 
 Apollo Hospitals, Noida, too, registered a steady growth in patient
 numbers, with 6 per cent growth in new registrations and 10 per cent
 growth in total OPD volumes. Number of dialysis increased by 20 per
 cent (from 5516 to 6224). However, despite a rise in volumes, Apollo
 Hospitals, Noida incurred a loss of Rs. 64.27 lakhs mainly due to
 increase in staff costs and costs of other inputs.
 
 The Government of India, vide its Gazette Notification No. 501 dated
 23/03/2011, has extended the scope of Employee State Insurance Act 1948
 to include certain class of establishments including corporate

 scheme. All employees who are drawing salary up to Rs. 15000/- per
 month are being covered under the ESIC scheme.
 
 In pursuance of the interim order passed by the Hon''ble Supreme Court
 of India on 30.11.2009, the Company continues to provide free treatment
 exclusive of medicines and medical consumables to the patients referred
 by the Government of Delhi for free treatment in the Hospital. During
 this year, 8,330 patients, including outpatient new registrations and
 repeat visits, were provided free treatment in the Hospital. On an
 average, 60 to 70 inpatients, including 20 to 25 ICU patients, are
 being treated free of cost (excluding medicines and consumable) at
 Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals.

 On May 25, 2011, three staff members of the hospital died in a tragic
 air accident while providing medical escort to a critically ill patient
 who was air lifted from Patna. The team consisting of Dr. Rajesh Jain,

 including three staff members of the Hospital in the tragic accident
 and pay rich tributes to the brave staff members who lost their lives
 in the call of duty.

 FOCUS ON QUALITY
 
 The first hospital in the country to receive accreditation from the
 prestigious Joint Commission International, USA (in year 2005) for
 delivery of quality healthcare services and meeting patient safety
 needs, Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals has once again successfully met
 these ever exacting standards. It was surveyed again for re-
 reaccreditation in July, 2011, and again successfully sailed through
 the intensive and rigorous checks. The Hospital has now been re-
 accredited by JCI for a further period of three years.
 
 Apollo Hospital, Noida was awarded Accreditation from NABH (National
 Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare providers) in June,
 2011, valid for a period of three years.
 
 Rigorous training has helped hardwire 5 S (Sort, Set in Order, Shine,
 Standardize and Sustain), which makes a workplace more orderly and
 efficient, into the system. There is an obvious visible impact with the
 workplaces looking neat, environment hygienic and organized, besides
 improving retreivability of items. Periodic 5 S audits were conducted.
 
 With the constant focus on training, the average medication error rate
 has come down to 1.9 per 100 discharges which is better than the ISMP
 (Institute of Safe Medication Practices, US) benchmark of 2 per 100
 discharges. The patient fall rate is 0.08 per 1000 Adjusted Patient
 Days which is much better than the acceptable rate of 2 per 1000
 Adjusted Patient Days (JCAHO, US).
 
 The Hospital has implemented the WHO sponsored Safe Surgery Saves
 Lives programme, which involves following of a Surgical Safety
 Checklist designed on the lines of the checklists followed by aircraft
 pilots, to reduce errors in surgical procedures. Bestselling author of
 the book ''The Checklist Manifesto'', Dr. Atul Gawande, who had initiated
 the Safe Surgery programme, and is the WHO director on the project,
 visited the hospital and addressed the doctors and staff on this major
 initiative, expressing his satisfaction in the manner it was being
 implemented.
 
 The Voice of Customer in-patient scores have exceeded the target of 4.6
 set for the year, against a maximum of 5.
 
 FIRE SAFETY IN THE HOSPITAL

 in the Hospital, including constitution of a Fire Safety sub-committee
 and Daily Fire Safety Rounds. In order to ensure maximum preparedness
 fire drills are being conducted at odd hours such as middle of the
 night, Sundays or on Public holidays. The Frequency of checking
 important Fire equipment such as Fire Doors, Smoke Detectors, and Smoke
 Extractor machines has been increased to ensure optimum preparedness. A
 variety of additional equipment and signage have been acquired and
 installed. Fire Training sessions by Delhi Fire Service Officers have
 been conducted to impart training to the Hospital staff. To ensure that
 the staff is abreast with the latest trends and methods in Fire safety,
 the staff members are regularly being sent for specialised training to
 International Institute of Security and Safety Management and other
 fire safety institutes.

 INFECTION CONTROL AND ENVIRONMENT
 
 The Hospital Infection Control Program has succeeded in further
 reducing all infection indices, thus aiming to set a new benchmark in
 Indian healthcare. Employee safety and infection prevention were
 addressed by educational drives and measures were taken to augment
 personal protective equipment to prevent exposure inoculation injuries
 and provision of pre and post exposure prophylaxis. Employees were
 vaccinated for various preventable infections including Meningococcal
 infections and for other infections such as Hepatitis B and Chicken Pox
 as part of an ongoing practice. Care was also taken to maintain
 environment and hygiene within acceptable standards to contain
 infective exposures.
 
 Infection rates at the Hospital are amongst the best in the world for
 urinary catheter related Urinary Tract Infection. (UTI), Central Line
 Related Blood Stream Infections (CRBSI) and Ventilator Associated
 Pneumonia (VAP). The success of the infection control programmes can be
 gauged by the decreasing trends in CRBSI with values as low as 0.97 per
 1000 Central Lines Days and for VAP 2.06 per 1000 Ventilator Days and
 for CRUTI at 1.01 per 1000 Urinary Catheter Days.
 
 The Hospital conducted a big campaign highlighting the role of Hand
 Hygiene in minimising infections. Antibiotic (Antimicrobial)
 consumption has also been reduced as a result of consistent monitoring.
 
 TECHNOLOGY ABSORPTION
 
 During the year, the Hospital continued its efforts to maintain
 standards at par with the best hospitals globally by investing in
 cutting-edge technology to offer the latest in medical care. Some of
 these are:
 
 1. MRI guided HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound): Uterine
 fibroids are noncancerous growths of the uterus that often appear
 during child bearing years. Existing treatment options for women
 include medication or surgical removal. In contrast to the existing
 treatment options of surgery to remove fibroids, MR-HIFU offers women a
 quicker, non-invasive and precise treatment option. The procedure can
 be performed on an outpatient basis, with the patient leaving the
 hospital the same day and getting almost fully recovered within a few
 days. It combines resonance (MR) imaging, with high-intensity focused
 ultrasound (HIFU).
 
 2. Intuitive Surgical-da Vinci Robotic Surgical System: With a view to
 provide the best available surgical experience to patients, the
 Hospital has introduced a state-of-the-art da Vinci Robotic Surgical
 system. This system combines computer and robotic technologies to
 create a new category of surgical treatment, robotic assisted
 laparoscopic, thoracscopic and endoscopic surgery. By providing
 surgeons with enhanced capabilities, the system makes it possible to
 treat a broader range of conditions using a minimally invasive approach
 for major surgery with only a few tiny incisions. In addition, the
 surgeons can operate with better visualization, precision, dexterity
 and control than possible using traditional surgical approaches.
 
 3. Versa Pulse Power Suite: A 100 watt Holmium Laser was introduced
 for use in treating patients with enlarged prostate gland. The
 treatment offered is more effective, less invasive and reduces hospital
 stay as compared to conventional treatment.
 
 4. Gene Xpert and Hain Molecular Diagnosis System: Keeping abreast
 with latest diagnostic techniques to deal with the scourge of
 tuberculosis, for rapid and simultaneous detection of tuberculosis and
 antimicrobial resistance to commonly used drug Rifampicin, the hospital
 heeded to the call of WHO policy statement on tuberculosis and procured
 the Molecular test facility for Gene-Xpert MTB/RIF and Hain Molecular
 System, considerably reducing the time to detect tuberculosis and drug
 resistance to within 2 days, besides being more sensitive and specific
 than current molecular methods .
 
 ENERGY CONSERVATION
 
 As part of our Energy Conservation Plan, all conventional light
 fittings are in the process of being replaced with LED-type energy
 saving light fixtures which has resulted in reduction of 30 KW load on
 our existing electricity consumption. In all, nearly 800 light fixtures
 were replaced with LEDs in areas across the hospital.
 
 Additionally, we have also replaced all Mercury vapour and Sodium
 vapour external lights, numbering over 100 across the hospital, with
 energy efficient LED lights. This measure will reduce the electrical
 consumption of our external yard area substantially.
 
 We have also installed 26 Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) in our AHU
 motors and secondary Chiller Pumps. This measure will ensure that the
 hospital is able to save around 300 KW of electricity load.
 
 Further, to create awareness amongst staff on energy conservation,
 ''Caution'' stickers have been stuck on all electrical equipment
 encouraging staff to switch off fixtures when not in use.
 
 Going forward, we are in the midst of incorporating an improved
 ''Building Automation System'' for our Electrical and HVAC management.
 This will ensure a centralised control mechanism for the management of
 electricity and HVAC services and will vastly help in reducing manpower
 costs, energy consumption and overall operating expenditures.
