Apollo Hospitals named Dr. Madhu Sasidhar as president and CEO of its hospital division. Dr. Sasidhar will oversee Apollo?s hospital business, which contributes more than half of Apollo's revenue. Dr. Sasidhar's appointment is part of a planned transition that has been in effect since he joined Apollo as its chief strategy office in October 2023.

As part of this transition, Dr. K Hari Prasad, the outgoing president of Apollo Hospitals, will be retiring from his position after a 27 years career at Apollo. Prior to joining Apollo, Dr. Madhu held various roles at Cleveland Clinic, including president of Cleveland Clinic Tradition Hospital. He is a practicing physician with US board certifications in internal medicine, as well as pulmonary and critical care medicine.

He completed his medical education at JIPMER, Pondicherry, and pursued further studies in Internal Medicine at St Luke?s-Roosevelt Hospital in New York City.
