Mahajan Imaging & Fortis La Femme join forces to transform women and child healthcare in India

New Delhi: Mahajan Imaging & Labs has entered a strategic alliance with Fortis La Femme, India’s leading hospital dedicated to women’s and children’s health, to create a new benchmark in integrated diagnostics and healthcare for women and children.

Sharmila Tagore, Veteran Actress & Padma Bhushan Awardee, inaugurated the revamped Radiology Department by Mahajan Imaging & Labs at Fortis La Femme, New Delhi, establishing it as a Centre of Excellence in High-Resolution Fetal Imaging. The department features vibrant, patient-friendly interiors and state-of-the-art technologies, reimagining clinical experience by prioritizing comfort, dignity, and care while ensuring more precise maternal and pediatric diagnostics.

Mahajan Imaging & Labs extends its comprehensive diagnostic network—MRI, CT, PET-CT, Nuclear Medicine, Pathology, Genomics, and Full-Field Digital Mammography across Delhi-NCR, offering families seamless access to world-class diagnosis. Combined with Fortis La Femme’s expertise in maternity, gynecology, fertility, pediatrics, neonatology, preventive health, and surgery, the alliance creates a 360° ecosystem for women’s and children’s health, focused on early detection, precise diagnosis, and personalized treatment.

Despite progress, women and children in Delhi-NCR continue to face pressing health issues:

• Cancer among women in the region is projected to rise 19.3% by 2026, increasing from 12,772 cases in 2021 to 15,244 cases, with breast and cervical cancers remaining the most prevalent.

• Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) affects an estimated 14% of women in Delhi.

These trends highlight the need for enhanced diagnostic access, preventive screenings, and personalized care, goals that this alliance aims to achieve.

Speaking at the event, Sharmila Tagore emphasized the role of empowerment in healthcare and said, “At the core of Mahajan Imaging & Labs’ work is women empowerment, because when women are supported, informed, and cared for, entire communities thrive. Over the years, women have begun to feel more confident and comfortable getting tested at the Mahajan Imaging & Labs, a trust built through empathetic staff, a welcoming environment, and an unwavering commitment to dignity and privacy. However, challenges remain, and access to quality diagnostics is not just important; it is lifesaving. Having worked in the area of women empowerment for many years, I believe that this partnership between Mahajan Imaging & Labs and Fortis is not just delivering healthcare, but is creating change.”

Ritu Mahajan, Co-Founder and Executive Director, Mahajan Imaging & Labs, added, “This partnership is not just about advancing technology; it is about reshaping the very foundation of healthcare for women and children. Every test, every diagnosis, and every preventive check carries the potential to change a life, prevent a tragedy, and build trust where fear or hesitation once existed. Our mission goes beyond hospitals and machines; it is about creating a society where women feel empowered to prioritize their health, where children have the chance to grow strong and thrive, and where access to quality, compassionate care is a right, not a privilege. We are delighted to strengthen our long-standing association with Fortis through this new partnership with Fortis La Femme.”

Highlighting Mahajan Imaging & Lab’s women-led culture, she noted, “We have created an ecosystem where women feel safe. Of our 750 team members, nearly 30% are women, 65% of our senior leadership are women, and 50% of our doctors are women.”

Garima Prasad, Facility Director, Fortis La Femme said, “Women’s and children’s health is not just a medical priority; it is the foundation of a stronger, healthier nation. Through this alliance, families gain more than access to world-class diagnostics and specialized care; they gain trust, reassurance, and the certainty that every step of their healthcare journey is guided with expertise and compassion. By bringing these services under one roof, we are not only treating patients, but we are also building healthier communities and empowering future generations.”

This collaboration, marking the third alliance between Mahajan Imaging & Labs and the Fortis network, sets a new benchmark in integrated healthcare, ensuring that women and children receive holistic support that combines advanced diagnostics with specialized clinical care. By joining forces, Mahajan Imaging & Labs and Fortis La Femme are creating a patient-centric, preventive, and precise healthcare model designed to empower women, safeguard children, and strengthen communities.
