Performing 30-plus open heart surgeries daily means cardiac surgeons, operating theatre equipment, post-surgery ICU staff, and hospital infrastructure are utilised far more intensively than the 2 to 3 cardiac surgeries daily at premium hospitals. This volume utilisation reduces the fixed cost per surgery dramatically \u2014 enabling NH to charge Rs 1 lakh per open heart surgery versus Rs 3-5 lakh at Apollo while still delivering comparable clinical outcomes.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_NH_compare_to_Apollo_Hospitals\"><\/span><strong>How does NH compare to Apollo Hospitals?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> Apollo Hospitals (MCap Rs 1.1 lakh Cr, ROE 16%, PE 60x) is India&#8217;s largest and most premium hospital chain with national scale. NH (MCap Rs 32,650 Cr, ROE 22.72%, PE 50x) is more concentrated in cardiac care volume efficiency and affordable pricing. NH has better ROE but smaller scale. For quality national hospital investment, Apollo is preferred; for affordable cardiac hospital specialist with superior ROE, NH is the choice. Both are quality healthcare investments at different price points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Narayana Hrudayalaya share pros and cons: India&#8217;s affordable volume
