Apollo Hospital has quit Sri Lanka. It sold its 32% in Sri Lanka Hospital Corporation for Rs 73 crore, reports CNBC-TV18.
This comes after months of squabbling between Apollo Hospital and a Sri Lankan corporate raider, Harry Jayawardene who bought 40% in Lanka Hospital Corporation two months ago.
When contacted, Apollo Group President, K Padmanabhan, said, "The decision was taken after considerable deliberation, keeping in mind our share holder value."
In the April-June quarter, Lanka hospitals posted a loss of Rs 70 lakh.
