CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Gunasheela Surgical and Maternity Hospital, a pioneer in obstetrics, gynaecology and reproductive medicine in India, celebrated its Golden Jubilee, marking 50 years of dedicated service in fertility and women’s healthcare. The milestone event was graced by Dinesh Gundu Rao, Hon’ble Minister for Health and Family Welfare, Government of Karnataka, who inaugurated the Axon Child Development Centre, a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to holistic child growth and development. He also launched the hospital’s advanced Face Recognition System, which enhances security and accuracy in IVF treatment by ensuring error-free patient identification. The Minister further unveiled the new look of the hospital, symbolising its continued commitment to innovation and patient-centric care. Shri Ravi Subramanya, MLA of Basavanagudi Constituency, also attended the occasion and extended his best wishes.
The newly launched Axon Child Development Centre is designed as a holistic child growth and development facility, nurturing the physical, cognitive, emotional, and social potential of every child in a safe, inclusive, and stimulating environment. With this initiative, Gunasheela expands its role beyond fertility care to child wellness, supporting families at every stage – from conception to the healthy growth and development of their children.
Hon’ble Health Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao congratulated the Gunasheela team for their five decades of excellence and urged them to continue their mission of providing advanced fertility and gynecology services for couples and women across Karnataka.
Founded in 1975 by the late Dr. Sulochana Gunasheela, a visionary gynaecologist, and Dr. Mavahalli Gunasheela, a skilled surgeon, the hospital became a pioneer in Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). In 1988, Gunasheela achieved a historic breakthrough with the birth of South India’s first test tube baby, cementing its reputation as a trailblazer in fertility care.
Speaking at the celebrations, Dr. Devika Gunasheela, Managing Director and Fertility Specialist, Gunasheela Surgical and Maternity Hospital, said, “Fifty years ago, my mother, the late Dr. Sulochana, began a mission that changed the destiny of thousands of families. From the birth of South India’s first IVF baby in 1988 to the present day, Gunasheela has stood for hope, innovation, and compassion. We continue to adopt new technologies on time, tackling fertility and pregnancy issues effectively, so that every couple can hold onto the dream of parenthood. With the inauguration of Axon Child Development Centre – we are extending this vision even further, supporting not only couples on their journey to parenthood but also families in ensuring the healthy growth and development of their children. In this way, Gunasheela provides comprehensive solutions for women’s health, reproductive medicine, and child wellness under one trusted roof.”
