Good news for HDFC Bank customers! Free 24x7 access to emergency Apollo Hospital, other benefits too; check full details

In a first-of-its-kind initiative in the country, HDFC Bank and Apollo Hospitals have joined hands to launch the HealthyLife Programme, a healthcare solution which makes healthy living accessible and affordable on Apollo’s digital platform, Apollo 24x7. The programme is created exclusively for HDFC Bank customers who will get round the clock access to emergency Apollo Doctor at No Cost on Apollo 24x7 along with a plethora of benefits such as choice of payment options and ease of finance for treatments at all Apollo Hospitals.

Speaking on the initiative Aditya Puri, Managing Director, HDFC Bank said, "The two biggest challenges in a medical emergency or keeping healthy are access to trusted, quality healthcare and easy finance at scale. The coming together of these two leading players aims to address precisely this through the combined reach of the two organizations. About 40 per cent of India is only about 30 minutes away from an Apollo pharmacy while over 85 per cent of the districts in the country are served by an HDFC Bank branch. The two organizations have the potential to initially serve 65 million existing HDFC Bank customers along with the new ones who will be onboarded along the journey of this partnership." 

He added, “There is nothing more precious than life and health.  A healthy India is the first step towards a really wealthy India. To me it is like a mini health mission that will revolutionize access to quality healthcare for millions of our countrymen. They can get medical services at a place and time of their choice. We are inspired by the prime minister’s clarion call on Independence Day to provide healthcare services for all through the National Digital Health Mission. I am extremely happy and proud to launch this.”
