World-Class Facilities at the Heart of Mumbai
Spanning two floors, the facility comprises six dedicated clinic rooms on the ground floor and a fully equipped diagnostic center on the first floor. The center features some of the most advanced urogynecology technologies available in India, including:
- Video-Urodynamics
- Bluetooth-enabled Uroflowmetry
- 2D/3D Pelvic Floor Ultrasound
- Endoanal Ultrasound
- Anorectal Manometry
- Fluoroscopic Defecography
- Laser Treatment Units
- Urostym Pelvic Floor Therapy System
- Office Cystoscopy
The infrastructure is designed with privacy, empathy, and clinical excellence in mind.
Visionary Leadership and Long-Term Impact
“This center is not just about treatment – it’s about transformation,” said Dr Aparna Hegde, Associate Professor (Hon.), Cama & Albless Hospital and Founder of ARMMAN. “We aim to redefine pelvic health care in India through research, training, and clinical excellence, empowering the next generation of urogynecologists.”

Dr Tushar Palve, Vice Dean of Government Medical College and Medical Superintendent of the hospital, added, “We are deeply thankful to CitiusTech for partnering with us to serve the most underserved sections of society. This is a model we hope others will emulate.”
CitiusTech also contributed design, procurement, and project execution support, reinforcing its commitment to building sustainable healthcare infrastructure. “This project showcases how technology, compassion, and collaboration can reshape public health,” said Manoj Balwani, Head of Admin, Procurement, Immigration and Travel at CitiusTech.
A Scalable Public-Private Model for Women’s Healthcare
Conceptualized by Dr Hegde and formalized through a 2018 MoU with the Department of Medical Education, Government of Maharashtra, the project received final approval in 2023. It targets conditions such as pelvic organ prolapse, urinary and fecal incontinence, perineal trauma, UTIs, and bladder pain syndrome—conditions that affect nearly 25% of Indian women but often go undiagnosed or untreated.
By combining medical innovation, academic rigor, and corporate commitment, the CitiusTech-backed Urogynecology Department at Cama & Albless Hospital represents a replicable model for improving women’s healthcare access across India.
