A dedicated clinic for Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) has been inaugurated in Thane on Wednesday, May 6, 2026.
The Maharashtra Health Department has officially launched these clinics across the state to improve woman's healthcare.
The initiative aims to address the rising hormonal challenges faced by women, particularly young unmarried women in urban areas and those in their reproductive years.
The clinic was inaugurated under the guidance of the Civil Surgeon of Thane District Hospital. The event saw participation from the Additional Civil Surgeon (ACS) and the Resident Medical Officer (RMO-OR), both of whom provided critical insights into the management of PCOD.
During the ceremony, gynaecologists and senior nursing staff addressed the gathered women and patients, emphasising the importance of early intervention.
Following the inauguration, the clinic immediately began its operations, conducting physical examinations for attending patients and providing them with necessary medications and counselling on the spot. This initiative marks a proactive step by the state to ensure that specialised hormonal care is accessible to all women.
The newly established clinic will operate every Wednesday alongside the Menopause OPD.
It is designed to provide a holistic approach to managing PCOD.
A variety of specialised services will be provided. They include:
Expert Screenings - Health check-ups conducted by expert gynaecologists.
Pathological Testing - Necessary medical tests to identify hormonal imbalances.
Integrated Treatment - A combination of medical intervention and clinical counselling.
Mental Health Support - Counselling sessions to address the psychological impact of hormonal disorders.
