Services

VHS – ABHIMANYU BLOCK – MATERNITY AND CHILD HEALTH SERVICES
The Obstetrics and Gynaecology – MCS Department was started in 1990 with assistance from the Indian Population Project (IPP). It has a cardiotochograph and foetal Doppler which has helped in the more efficient monitoring of women in labour. Specialised minimally invasive laparoscopic surgeries have been introduced for gynaecological patients on a regular basis. With the help of the Ultrasound Department, procedures such as ultrasound guided aspiration of ovarian cysts.

This is a baby-friendly initiative hospital, and all mothers are being counselled and encouraged to practice breast feeding which is very essential for the health of the baby. Regular post-partum check-ups are being conducted.

Infertility Clinic: Infertility Clinic was started during the year 2015-16. Dr. Sathya Balasubramanyam, an honorary consultant, heads the department and is a qualified infertility specialist. Intra-Uterine Insemination (IUI) is provided at a very low cost. We hope to establish a full-fledged fertility unit to help childless couples from all the strata of the society.
