What shaped your interest in women’s healthcare needs? What led you to establish Motherhood Hospital?

After completing my academics, I was introduced to a family of gynecologists, which provided me with early exposure to women’s healthcare. Over time, this experience shaped my vision of delivering holistic, patient-centered care for women and children in metropolitan areas at an affordable cost.

A few years later, I got married into a family deeply rooted in the healthcare profession, with several gynecologists among relatives. Working closely with medical professionals revealed a critical gap, limited focus on hospital management and comprehensive patient experience.

Recognizing this need inspired me to develop strong healthcare leadership and management skills, with the goal of bridging clinical expertise with efficient and compassionate care delivery.

My personal experience during my first pregnancy was also instrumental in my journey. At the time, my husband, Dr Anand Patel, and I were practicing in a remote area. I had to travel to Ahmedabad for my own scans.

That personal experience planted the first seeds for what would eventually become Motherhood Women’s & Childcare Hospital and IVF Centre. Together, my husband and I turned that vision into reality, launching the first Motherhood Hospital in Ahmedabad on 21st October 2012.

Introduce us to Motherhood Hospital and its various areas of specialization.

We established Motherhood Women’s & Child Care Hospital as a 45-bed facility, complete with a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and advanced services including IVF, gynecology, a high-risk pregnancy unit, a fetal medicine department, and a pediatric unit.

My own childbirth experience, where the mother and baby were treated in separate hospitals, deeply influenced my vision—I was determined to create a single, comprehensive center where women and children could receive seamless holistic care under one roof.

From the very beginning, my goal has been to provide holistic, ethical, transparent, and affordable healthcare for every woman. Our care philosophy addresses the entire spectrum of a woman’s life— from puberty to menopause, ensuring that every stage is supported with the right medical expertise, compassion, and advanced technology.

Highlight some of the key technologically advanced treatments and procedures that Motherhood Hospital is known for?

At Motherhood Women’s & Child Care Hospital and Motherhood IVF Center, we combine advanced technology with holistic care to offer specialized treatments for women and children. In the field of IVF, we stay updated with the latest research and genetic studies, leveraging stem cell therapy, PRP for ovarian health, embryo quality analysis, and AI-based semen analysis.

We are also leaders in fetal medicine and gynecological surgery, housing the advanced Karl Storz Image 1S 4K 3D Rubina laparoscopy system, the first in the city and only the 15th in India, which allows us to minimize blood loss and perform precise gynecology, infertility, and gynae-oncology surgeries.

Our AI-based Voluson S18 Expert Pro sonography, also first in Gujarat, helps prevent major complications during pregnancy.

Additionally, we pioneered procedures such as Microwave Ablation, sonography-guided laparoscopic surgery, and vaginal exosome therapy to improve women’s gynecological and sexual health. Beyond high-tech treatments, we provide comprehensive care through GICU for mothers, newborn care, and holistic.
