Fetal Medicine
Maternal & Fetal Care in Bhubaneswar
About This Speciality
Fetal Medicine is a sub-speciality that focuses specifically on the health of the developing baby and the wellbeing of the mother through pregnancy — with particular expertise in high-risk pregnancies and advanced fetal imaging. At Ahana, our Department of Maternal Fetal Medicine is led by Dr. Shweta Somasikta Pani.
For patients who have conceived through IVF or who carry a higher-risk pregnancy, Dr. Pani's expertise provides a level of surveillance that goes well beyond routine obstetric care. Her role is to identify, monitor, and manage complications early — before they become crises.
