Fortis launches woman-only hospital in Bengaluru

The Fortis Healthcare Limited (Fortis) on Wednesday launched La Femme, a women-only comprehensive healthcare facility in Bengaluru.

This is the second such centre established by the Hospital after New Delhi.

Women achievers including Jija Hari Singh, former director general of police, writer Anita nair, fashion designer Deepika Govind and bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty Kundra walked the ramp to commemorate the launch of the new centre.

Fortis La Femme has been conceptualised keeping in mind contemporary women and the multiple roles they play. Beauty and cosmetology, dental care, birthing, antenatal care, post-natal care, genetic and foetal medicine, neonatal care and infertility treatment are among the facilities that have been made available.  Kundra, who felt that there was a need for women to dedicate more time to taking care of their health, said that a book on fitness which she had authored would be released soon.

“This is a one-stop destination for several treatments. I would like to give birth to my second child here,” the actor said. Recalling her stay in the city during the early days, Kundra said that she liked the old Bengaluru more.

Bhavdeep Singh, CEO, Fortis, said, “Fortis La Femme, Bengaluru, extends the brand, taking forward the legacy of its facility in New Delhi, which has earned a formidable reputation for itself in addressing every dimension of healthcare for women. This centre clearly recognises that a woman needs specialised medical care in a nurturing and comforting environment and we will go the extra mile to deliver that promise.”
