India is experiencing a significant rise in high-risk pregnancies, with nearly half now requiring specialized care. The nation aims to reduce its maternal mortality rate from 88 to 70 deaths per 100,000 live births by 2030. Zydus Hospitals in Ahmedabad has established a leading department for high-risk pregnancies and IVF, equipped to manage complex cases.
The department handles numerous high-risk pregnancies annually, addressing conditions like placenta abnormalities and pre-existing maternal health issues. Recent cases highlight the critical nature of such pregnancies, including a patient with placenta accreta spectrum requiring a hysterectomy and significant blood transfusion. Another case involved successful management of a multiple gestation pregnancy with an ultra-preterm delivery of twins.
Zydus Hospitals provides comprehensive care with an in-house blood bank, specialized ICUs, and round-the-clock specialists. Their efforts extend to other centers in Western India, aiming to bridge the gap in advanced gynecological and cancer care. This commitment ensures better outcomes for women facing complex pregnancy challenges and various gynecological conditions.
