Emergency obstetric care: 24 hours, 7 days a weekSenior gynaecologist with rare triple-credential training
Dr. Shalini B is Senior Consultant in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Vivekananda Hospital, Begumpet. She has over 10 years of clinical experience and holds an unusually complete set of credentials for a Hyderabad gynaecologist: MBBS with Gold Medal distinction, DGO from Osmania University, DNB in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, both FMAS and DMAS in Minimal Access Surgery, and an Advanced Fellowship in Assisted Reproductive Technology.
The combination matters clinically. Most senior gynaecologists hold one or two of these qualifications. The full set means a single consultant can manage routine antenatal care, navigate high-risk obstetric situations, perform advanced laparoscopic gynae procedures, and provide informed infertility evaluation under one consistent care plan, instead of the patient being moved between three different specialists for the same condition.
Her primary clinical focus is obstetric care across the full pregnancy spectrum, with particular depth in high-risk pregnancies. She has personally managed over 5,000 deliveries at Vivekananda Hospital, including normal deliveries, instrumental deliveries, planned and emergency cesarean sections, and complex cases involving gestational diabetes, hypertension, intrauterine growth restriction, placental abnormalities, and twin pregnancies. The labour ward at Vivekananda Hospital is staffed 24 hours a day with a dedicated obstetric team, anaesthesia cover, and Level 2 newborn care, which is the practical reason patients with high-risk pregnancies are referred to her care.
On the gynaecological surgery side, her FMAS and DMAS training translate into laparoscopic hysterectomy, ovarian cystectomy, myomectomy, and management of ectopic pregnancy and endometriosis through minimal access technique. Day-care discharge is the norm for elective laparoscopic procedures, with most patients home within 24 hours and back to routine activity within a week.
Patients consistently describe her consultations as unhurried and clearly explained, with treatment options presented honestly including the non-surgical alternatives where they apply.
