EXPERIENCE AS A MEDICAL ENTREPRENEUR IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR

Mahaveer Cardio Vascular Center (1996): Mahaveer Cardio Vascular Centre was conceived, designed and established by me in 1996 with a major thrust on providing high quality care at nominal cost. The Cardiovascular centre deals with Tertiary care referrals within the reach of a common man who cannot afford expensive treatment.

Bollineni Hospital, Nellore (2000): Armed with the experience of setting up a Subspecialty Center, I established at 150 bedded multispecialty Hospital in Nellore, a small town in the State of Andhra Pradesh located about 75 miles from Chennai. Established at a cost of Sterling Pounds 200,000, Bollineni Hospital is now a major referral center for all Basic Specialities & Subspeciaities in and around Nellore.

Bollineni Heart Center, Rajamundry (2001): Bollineni Heart Centre was established in the town of Rajahmundry in Andhra Pradesh. This is a 50 bedded dedicated, purpose built, free standing Cardiothoracic Centre with state of the art facilities.

Bollineni Diagnostic Center, Cuddapah (2003): I ventured into establishing a large Diagnostic Centre in Cuddapah, located close to the Temple town Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh. The Diagnostic Centre has all the modern facilities with the latest generation equipment relating to Diagnostic and interventional Radiology, Biochemistry and Microbiology. As a result of strict quality control coupled with effective and reliable services, Bollineni Diagnostic Centre has achieved the unique distinction to become the major diagnostic referral centre in that region within a short span of the time.

I conceived, designed and established Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS), a 500 bedded upscale multispecialty Hospital, located on a sprawling campus at Minister Road a between the twin cities of Secunderabad and Hyderabad.

This is the latest addition to the Bollineni group of Hospitals in Andhra Pradesh & I am currently the Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer of this Institute. Established at a cost of 1 Million Sterling pounds, this is one of the largest Multispecialty Hospitals in the Private Sector in the State in Andhra Pradesh. The Hospital has been set up in keeping with international standards using cutting edge technology and is managed by a group of highly qualified Doctors and Health Care Professionals. The hospital has over 30 Specialist with an excellent professional record.

KIMS - Wardhak Diagnostic Centre (2005): I have established Afghanistan’s FIRST of its kind state of the art Diagnostic Centre in the capital city, Kabul. The Centre is equipped with latest generation MRI, CT scanner and basic Laboratory facilities. The Diagnostic Unit is directly Tele linked to Krishna Institute of Medical Science in Hyderabad for expert opinion. All the Tests are subsidized, which provides an opportunity for the population in Afghanistan to have access to the best diagnostic facilities.

Nursing School & Physiotherapy College (2002 & 2006): With the singular aim of reaching out to the poor by providing FREE education & Medical care in my native town Nellore, I along with my brothers established a charitable Foundation - Bollineni Krishnaiah Charitable Trust. Through the auspices of this Trust, the very FIRST Nursing School in region was established in 2002, furthermore, in 2005, I set up a Nursing and Physiotherapy College in Hyderabad, which is attached to Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences.

Rajiv Arogyasri Community Health Insurance Scheme (2006): I was instrumental, along with a few others, to propose and convince the Govt. of Andhra Pradesh in establishing the Rajiv Arogyasri Scheme. This Scheme provides state of the art treatment for people below the poverty line in Andhra Pradesh through a public-private partnership between the Insurance companies, private Hospital and the Government. The Unique Scheme, which has been operational since 2006 has gained immense popularity and is hugely successful. Based on the benefit, popularity and wide reach of this Scheme, efforts are underway to replicate this Programme all over India.

FUTURE PLANS

India has very few for Medical Schools of International repute. It is my intention to establish a world class Medical School in the State of Andhra Pradesh with international partnership. In addition to carefully overseeing the Medical Centres that I have established over the years, I am looking foreword to working to the best of my ability in setting new benchmarks for the Healthcare industry in Andhra Pradesh.
