Royal Philips and Apollo Hospitals sign a non exclusive MoU to explore initiatives aimed at strengthening stroke care and structural heart disease management in India.
The collaboration intends to combine Philips’ advanced imaging and image guided therapy solutions with Apollo’s clinical expertise to support integrated decision making across diagnosis and intervention. Any specific projects will be subject to further agreements and approvals.
India reported over 1.25 million new stroke cases in 2021, while cardiovascular diseases account for nearly one third of total deaths, highlighting the need for improved care pathways.
The MoU focuses on two areas. In structural heart disease, efforts aim to enhance procedural accuracy, optimise contrast usage and improve real time imaging guidance. In stroke care, the collaboration aims to accelerate imaging workflows, reduce door to needle time and enable intervention within the golden hour.
