Announcement
On 2 July 2026, Santaana Fertility disclosed a strategic partnership with Magnet Hospitals, marking a new phase in its fertility chain’s journey. The press release, dated 13 July 2026, outlines the intent to scale the network to eight centres across Bengaluru.
Investment Details
The partnership is underpinned by an investment of INR 50 crore, which will be deployed to expand integrated reproductive care services and broaden patient access throughout the city.
Clinical Approach and Services
Santaana Fertility, founded on the clinical legacy of Padmashri award‑ee Dr. Kamini Rao, will continue to prioritize a personalized, evidence‑based IVF model. The network will employ comprehensive evaluations—including genetic testing, reproductive immunology assessments, and male fertility diagnostics—to identify the root cause of infertility. This approach is designed to improve first‑cycle success rates while reducing unnecessary interventions, emotional burden, and long‑term costs for patients.
Governance and Autonomy
Dr. Kamini Rao, Founder & Chairman, emphasized that the partnership will not compromise clinical autonomy; all medical decisions, ethical boundaries, and patient protocols will remain exclusively under the control of Santaana’s clinical custodians. The multigenerational clinical competency of Dr. Kamini Rao and Dr. Vyshnavi Rao will be institutionalised to ensure consistent standards of care across all centres. Additionally, the network will integrate counselling and financial guidance into its care model to support patients holistically.
