Ankura Hospitals for Women and Children has expanded its footprint into Central India with the inauguration of a new 120-bed super speciality hospital in Vijay Nagar, Indore. The launch marks the healthcare network’s first hospital in Madhya Pradesh and further strengthens its presence across the country.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by Indore Mayor Pushyamitra Bhargav.
With the addition of the Indore facility, Ankura Hospitals now operates 18 centres across Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha and Madhya Pradesh, offering a combined capacity of more than 1,500 beds.
The new hospital has been established to address the growing need for advanced maternal, neonatal and paediatric healthcare in the region. Until now, many patients requiring specialised treatment for high-risk pregnancies, premature newborns, congenital disorders and other complex paediatric conditions had to travel to larger cities outside the state. The new centre is expected to make advanced tertiary care more accessible to families across Central India.
The hospital provides comprehensive services covering obstetrics and gynaecology, high-risk pregnancy care, neonatology, Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), paediatrics, paediatric surgery, Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), foetal medicine, fertility and IVF, women’s health services and round-the-clock emergency care. It also features advanced labour and delivery suites, modular operation theatres, diagnostic facilities and dedicated critical care units.
Speaking at the inauguration, Dr Krishna Prasad Rao Vunnam, Founder, Ankura Hospitals for Women and Children, said, “The inauguration of our Indore hospital is an important milestone in Ankura’s growth journey. As one of India’s fastest-growing women and child healthcare networks with more than 14 hospitals, our vision is to make specialised healthcare accessible to every mother and every child. Indore is an important healthcare hub for Central India, and this expansion reflects our long-term commitment to bringing world-class maternity, neonatal and paediatric care closer to families. Through advanced technology, experienced specialists and evidence-based clinical practices, we aim to provide the highest standards of care while reducing the need for patients to travel to larger metropolitan cities for specialised treatment.”
The facility brings together a multidisciplinary team of obstetricians, gynaecologists, neonatologists, paediatricians, paediatric surgeons, foetal medicine specialists, anaesthesiologists and critical care experts. They are supported by experienced nurses, respiratory therapists and neonatal care professionals to deliver coordinated and comprehensive care for women, newborns and children.
The hospital is expected to emerge as a key referral centre for patients from Indore and neighbouring districts, including Ujjain, Dewas, Dhar, Ratlam, Mhow, Khandwa, Khargone, Neemuch and Mandsaur, providing easier access to advanced treatment closer to home.
Ankura Hospitals’ expansion into Madhya Pradesh reflects its continued focus on strengthening specialised healthcare services for women and children across India. By bringing advanced clinical expertise and modern infrastructure to Indore, the new facility is expected to improve access to high-quality care while reducing the need for patients from Central India to seek treatment in distant metropolitan centres.
