Motherhood Hospitals, India’s premier network dedicated to women and children’s healthcare, today announced its landmark entry into Eastern India with the inauguration of its state-of-the-art hospital in Kolkata. The network has provided care to more than a million women and children across the country. Located strategically at Rajdanga, Kasba in South Kolkata, this facility is the 25th hospital in Motherhood’s rapidly expanding network across 12 cities and is poised to become a centre of excellence for specialised care, significantly enhancing medical services for women and children in Kolkata and surrounding cities.
The hospital will provide a full spectrum of services, from advanced obstetrics (including high-risk pregnancy management), complex gynaecological surgeries, and cutting-edge fertility treatments (IVF), to neonatology (including a Level III NICU for critically ill newborns) and paediatrics. This integrated approach aims to address the complete lifecycle of women’s health and child development under one roof, delivered with Motherhood’s hallmark compassionate and patient-centric philosophy.
Mr. Vijayarathna Venkatraman, CEO of Motherhood Hospitals, emphasised the group’s vision: “Our Kolkata launch is a pivotal moment. We are not just opening a hospital; we are bringing a promise of world-class, empathetic healthcare from our roots in South India tailored to the unique needs of women and children in Eastern India. This state-of-the-art facility, equipped with advanced technology and staffed by leading medical experts, embodies our commitment to setting new benchmarks in clinical excellence and patient experience. Kolkata is the first step in our dedicated expansion plan for Eastern India, with more cities to follow.”
The inauguration ceremony featured a compelling panel discussion titled “Women’s Health: Fuelling India’s Rise.” The panel delved into a deep conversation on how women’s health is critical in building a nation’s economy. Investing in women’s health is not merely a social imperative but a potent catalyst for India’s economic growth.
Dr. Gita Ganguly Mukherjee, Former Professor and Head, Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, R. G. Kar Medical College & Hospital said, “When women are healthy, their ability to participate in the workforce expands and their productivity soars. It’s therefore essential to address increasingly common health issues such as PCOS, endometriosis, fertility issues and genital tuberculosis. By ensuring access to quality reproductive and maternal care services, we directly empower a more energetic, capable, and reliable workforce. Moreover, this commitment to maternal health has a profound ripple effect, leading to healthier children and fostering a positive intergenerational cycle that builds the robust human capital crucial for the future. Likewise we have to also provide the best care to our newborns through state of art technology and clinical care in NICU’s “
Speaking on this special occasion, Ms Tanusree Shankar, eminent Indian Dancer, Choreographer, and Actor, shared a message to all the new mothers, “Motherhood is a beautiful journey, yet comes with lots of challenges – sleepless nights, bodily changes, responsibilities doubling up. Yet remember your compassion is a superpower, and your nurturing makes a real difference in the world. Be kind to yourselves, in calm moments and during chaos. Raising children is a very big, important job with endless value.”
The panel also discussed the critical role of early intervention in identifying women’s health issues, especially related to reproductive health, multidisciplinary teamwork in managing high-risk pregnancies and critically ill newborns, and the imperative for evidence-based, patient-centric care to improve outcomes.
