The Women's Hospital opens in South Delhi to bridge healthcare gaps
New Delhi- To address long-standing gaps in women's healthcare, a multispecialty hospital dedicated exclusively to women, The Women's Hospital (TWH), was inaugurated on Wednesday in Nehru Enclave, South Delhi.
The hospital was founded by entrepreneur Anika Parashar and has received an investment of $5 million from various investors. Spanning 30,000 square feet, this facility aims to provide integrated healthcare services to women at all stages of life, ranging from adolescence and reproductive health to menopause, ageing, and cancer care.
According to hospital data, approximately 355 million women in India menstruate; about 23 million girls drop out of school due to poor menstrual hygiene, while approximately 60,000 deaths occur annually due to cervical cancer, reports TOI.
The data further indicates that approximately 25% of Indian women suffer from PCOD/PCOS, and one in every six couples faces infertility issues.
Speaking to TOI, the founder and CEO, Anika Parashar, said, “TWH comes from a gap I have seen in over 25 years of working closely with women, families, doctors and healthcare teams. Women are often left to navigate fragmented systems, delay care, or feel unheard. We wanted to create a healthcare home where women can access specialised, preventive and holistic care without judgement”.
This hospital comes at a time when experts are consistently highlighting the need for healthcare infrastructure in India that is specifically focused on women.
Apart from women, other patients can be treated only in emergencies and will be referred to other hospitals.
The hospital features specialised clinics focused on various stages of life, including adolescence, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, menopause, chronic and metabolic health issues, cancer screening, and mental health.
It also features robot-assisted surgery, advanced infrastructure for fetal medicine, and a Korean-designed operating suite.
The centre has 34 beds, including 12 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) beds, three modular operating theatres, and three delivery suites.
