Apollo Multispecialty Hospital Launches a Department for the Holistic care of Women & Child

Bangalore, May 09, 2019:
Apollo Hospital, Sheshadripuram, one of the premier multispecialty hospitals in
India launched their "Department of Women & Child Care" recently
at Bangalore for the wellbeing of the mother and the child and the women who
are delivering. Comprising of a 43-bedded adult Intensive Care Unit and a
4-bedded Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), the hospital is well equipped
with all that is necessary at the face of an emergency and to enhance safe
delivery.
Speaking on this occasion, Ms Sangita Reddy, Joint
Managing Director, Apollo Hospitals Group said,
"As a wholly patient-centric organization, Apollo Hospitals have been at
the forefront of introducing international standard care protocols across its
medical facilities. In keeping with this ethos, the new women and child care
facility at Apollo Hospitals Seshadripuram will offer cutting edge
multidisciplinary maternity care steered by highly skilled medical
professionals dedicated to providing young mothers and newborns with
world-class care." Furthermore,
as research suggests, although that there has been a considerable drop in
India's maternal mortality rate by 22%, that is, 167 (2011-13) to 130
(2014-2016), yet we have a long way to go in terms of doing away with neonatal
and maternal deaths completely. The Union health ministry has attributed this
improvement primarily to rise in institutional deliveries across the country as
almost 80% of women are now giving birth in hospitals, both public and private.
Be
it in any kind of delivery, caesarean or normal or through IVF, there is always
an underlying risk factor both for the mother and the child in terms of
complications that might stem at any moment. Organs might fail. There can also
be a need for immediate blood transfusion owing to blood loss. Hence, round the
clock support from other departments such as Urology, cardiology, nephrology
and the presence of a ready in-house Blood Bank proves to be a saviour. In case
of hypertension, diabetes or gestational diabetes or if the baby is in the
breech position, or pregnancy with multiples or for other issues, a
multispecialty hospital becomes indispensable for an expecting mother at all
stages and beyond.

"The

valuable addition to the neighbourhood, I am sure it will provide world-class
birthing and neonatal care to the community with the highest safety
standards" added Dr Soumyalatha
S.K, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Bangalore.
