Apollo Hospitals Dhaka, being in the business of hospital service marketing where one needs to wear the shoes of the customers, feels that the demands of business environment are neither small nor simple. At Apollo Hospitals Dhaka, business development is everyone's business. We promote total quality management in every aspect of our service, promising and delivering a total atmosphere of support and comfort. We believe no amount of skilled health care professionals and cutting-edge technology will be successful unless it is delivered within a complete package of dedication, commitment, loyalty, care, and quality. Our business vision focuses on four things: patient care, patient safety, patient rights and responsibility, and patient confidentiality. We believe providing premium quality service to our patients is not something what the patients should ask for, it is what they deserve. All of us at every level of the hospital have kept 'patient' at the forefront of our existence and have worked hard to ensure we deliver what we commit.

For any organization, Business Development Department is considered the revenue earner of the organization. This is true for Apollo Hospitals Dhaka as well. Business Development Department aims and secures the business of the hospital by being the primary and focal point-of-contact for people in the community requiring healthcare solution in regular and odd hours, and by ensuring timely delivery of necessary healthcare from the right corners through a series of teamwork concerning different areas of the hospital.

SEMINARS, FACILITY TOURS & FOCUSED MEETINGS

Business Development Department creates a firm bridge of communication, bond, reliance, and trust between physicians in the community and the hospital's facilities, special services and Consultants. It works to cater to the knowledge and need of the physicians of the country so that the patients they refer are properly taken care of at the hospital. Country-wide seminars are arranged by Business Development Department, where Consultants from Apollo Hospitals Dhaka are taken to enlighten the local community physicians about the updates and advanced treatment that are being practiced in our hospital. Our Consultants talk about the hospital’s latest technologies, advanced practices and facilities available. We arrange Facility Tours in our hospital for doctors of all categories so that they get familiar with our tertiary care services. We invite the Key Opinion Leaders (KOL) and Key Account Prescribers (KAP) of the physicians' community to visit our hospital premises, as we consider their opinions of high importance for the uplifting of our services, and because they are the ones who are sending patients to us to maintain and enhance continuity of care. They meet our Consultants and share their experiences and knowledge in clinical practice. Moreover, during Focused Meetings arranged in local communities between our Consultants and local community physicians, knowledge-based experience sharing helps to build a good relationship, connection and bondage between Apollo Hospitals Dhaka and referral physicians in the community.
