Annual Report’ 11<br />
Strategy<br />
Being the first corporate sector private hospital in<br />
Bangladesh, we had some responsibilities in setting up<br />
competition in healthcare quality. We decided not to<br />
compete on price with the other top tier hospitals but<br />
instead to continuously improve our patient services<br />
quality in order to capture market share and ensure margin<br />
growth for our business. We strive to continuously meet<br />
and exceed our customers’ expectations. We act daily to<br />
sustain continuous process improvement in direct<br />
response to customer input.<br />
Through its JCI accreditations <strong>Apollo</strong> <strong>Hospitals</strong> <strong>Dhaka</strong><br />
conveys a strong message to the community about our<br />
confidence in the quality and safety services we provide.<br />
The JCI guidelines and proven best practices implemented<br />
here are aimed at constantly improving risk prevention and<br />
risk reduction, so that patients are put at ease once they are<br />
within the folds of <strong>Apollo</strong>.<br />
Stringent infection control practices, waste management<br />
protocol and hospital wide disaster management drills<br />
continued to be the strong and intangible feel-good-feel-safe<br />
factor for the hospital. We deliver what we commit and we<br />
commit only what we can deliver; this has been our pledge<br />
from inception; in the crowd of over-promising and<br />
under-delivering hospitals in the country, this is what has<br />
made patients more reliant to AHD.<br />
Our Commitment<br />
<strong>Apollo</strong> <strong>Hospitals</strong> <strong>Dhaka</strong> through its leadership has made<br />
conscious commitment since our inception, to provide<br />
safe, quality services to the people of Bangladesh. Now,<br />
having implemented these standards for world class patient<br />
care, we stand even more strongly committed to providing<br />
the best. We are also committed to routinely updating our<br />
protocols and practices based on the most current<br />
information available and through implementation of<br />
periodic international quality updates issued by JCI.<br />
Patient Care<br />
The hospital provides patient care in an ethical manner,<br />
and at the best quality possible, taking into consideration<br />
patient safety, patient satisfaction and efficiency in<br />
providing services. Different wide spectrum collaborative<br />
governance committees of the hospital ensure appropriate<br />
interactions between health care providers and protect<br />
patients’ rights. In addition, the Hospital reviews<br />
customers’ complaints, monitors and continuously<br />
improves the quality of the care provided while taking into<br />
consideration patients’ needs and suggestions. Utmost<br />
importance is given on patient feedback listening to<br />
patients speak; thereafter analyzing the root cause of each<br />
and every dissatisfaction and actions are geared towards<br />
maximizing customer satisfaction.<br />
