People and Place both matter for a exhilarating experience. Apollo Heart Centre can be a model for the world in this context. The place: ambience interiors, facilities etc may well be the best that I've seen in India atleast. People/Staff are key to the experience. Clearly they are v.well trained to make even octogenarians feel at home. I was there to get a whole body check for my father who is 83 and left the place with a feeling that I may not be needed to accompany him for the next years check..God bless Apollo Hospitals and the staff!🙏
