Hyderabad: In a first, an all-women hospital, totally run by women, was inaugurated in the city on Monday. Located close to the fast-growing Central Business District of Hyderabad, Femcity is a 60-bed women and child multi-specialty hospital.

We have 33 departments led by women doctors who are aware that women’s health needs are unique and fundamentally different from those of men,” said Dr Naseem Majid, COO, Femcity Women’s Hospital.

With the launch of the facility, women from localities like Shaikpet, Tolichowki, Mehdipatnam, Masab Tank, Manikonda, Jubilee Hills, Madhapur and Gachibowli will have access to women healthcare professionals round-the-clock.

The hospital has four main verticals of healthcare to cater to the needs of women – namely wellness (includes physiotherapy, pilates, yoga, dental, dermatology, cosmetology, health check-up), medical and surgery (general medicine, endocrinology, neurology, diabetology, general surgery, psychiatry, psychology, laproscopy, breast surgery, weight loss, ENT, vascular surgery, urology, pulmonology, orthopedics, gastroenterology, radiology, interventional radiology, oncology), maternity and gynecology (obstetrics-gynecology, infertility, foetal medicine) and paediatrics (neonatology, paediatrics and paediatric surgery).

Femcity also has a separate division to cater to the healthcare needs of children from newborns to 15 years. “The hospital has integrated play therapy with the state-of-the-art treatment modules which help in faster, effective and comfortable cure to ailments of children,” a statement from the hospital said.
