Pune: Marking International Women’s Day with a strong focus on women’s health and community wellbeing, Vencer Hospital has launched a special Women’s Day Health Campaign from March 5 to March 15.
The initiative by Vencer Hospital combines preventive healthcare services for women at the hospital with outreach programs for adolescent girls in government schools across the region.
Through this campaign, Vencer Hospital aims to encourage women to prioritise their health while also addressing critical issues such as menstrual hygiene awareness among young girls.
As part of the hospital-based initiative, Vencer Hospital is offering special health check-up benefits for women patients during the campaign period.
These include a 50 percent discount on blood tests, a 30 percent discount on DEXA scans to assess bone mineral density, and a 30 percent discount on sonography.

The objective of the Vencer Hospital initiative is to promote early detection of health conditions and encourage women to undergo routine health screenings that are often neglected due to busy lifestyles or lack of awareness.
In addition, on the occasion of Women’s Day, Vencer Hospital has announced a special offer for teachers in recognition of their contribution to society.
All women teachers can avail a 50 percent discount on blood tests, a 40 percent discount on DEXA scans, and a 40 percent discount on sonography, along with a free eye check-up during the campaign period.
Through these benefits, Vencer Hospital aims to acknowledge the role teachers play in shaping communities while also supporting their health needs.
Doctors at Vencer Hospital emphasise that preventive healthcare is particularly important for women, as many conditions such as osteoporosis, hormonal imbalances, and lifestyle-related disorders remain undiagnosed until they become serious.
By making diagnostic services more accessible through the campaign, Vencer Hospital hopes more women will take proactive steps toward maintaining their health.
Alongside the hospital-based program, Vencer Hospital is also carrying out community outreach activities in government schools operated by the Zilla Parishad and Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC).
As part of these visits, the Vencer Hospital team is distributing sanitary pads to girl students and conducting awareness sessions on menstrual health and hygiene.
These sessions conducted by Vencer Hospital aim to address myths surrounding menstruation, promote safe hygiene practices, and encourage young girls to speak openly about their health concerns.
The hospital believes that such early awareness initiatives can help create a healthier and more informed generation.

Vencer Hospital: Helping Students Understand Importance of Menstrual Health
Many adolescent girls, particularly in government schools, still lack access to accurate information and basic menstrual hygiene resources. Through these interactions, Vencer Hospital hopes to build confidence among students and help them understand the importance of menstrual health as a vital part of overall wellbeing.
Dr. Sharoon Shitole, Managing Director and CEO of Vencer Hospital, said the campaign reflects the hospital’s commitment to supporting women both within and beyond its premises.
“As a woman, I feel deeply connected to initiatives that support the health and dignity of other women and young girls. At our hospital, nearly 80 percent of our workforce is women who contribute every day to caring for our patients and community.
Through this Women’s Day initiative, we wanted to go a step further – encouraging women to prioritise preventive healthcare while also reaching out to young girls with awareness and support that can positively shape their future.”
By combining accessible healthcare services with grassroots outreach programs, the hospital hopes this Women’s Day initiative will inspire more women to take charge of their health while helping young girls grow up with greater awareness, confidence, and access to essential hygiene resources.
