Chennai, October 18, 2025: MGM Healthcare’s Varam Women’s Superspeciality Centre launched the Menopause Evening Clinic on the occasion of its fifth anniversary and World Menopause Day, to provide holistic support, specialised gynaecology services, and personalised care for women navigating menopause.

As part of the launch, the new clinic will offer its essential menopause healthcare services as a comprehensive package at an affordable cost.

The launch event saw the participation of Dr. Deepa Thangamani, Secretary, Chennai Menopause Society, Ms. Niyati Mehta, Chairperson, FICCI FLO Chennai, and Dr. Jaishree Gajaraj, HOD & Senior Consultant, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Varam, among the dignitaries who took part in the event.

The event featured “Expressions of Womanhood” – a symbolic art installation capturing the collective strength and spirit of women, where participants left their handprints on a tree mural, representing unity, empowerment, and the many shades of womanhood.

A lively Fashion Show also took place, with special awards presented to the best-dressed individuals and couples. Attendees received exclusive giveaways, including a complimentary MGM Health Card worth ₹4,999.

Speaking about the occasion, Dr. Jaishree Gajaraj, HOD & Senior Consultant, Obstetrics & Gynaecology said, “Menopause marks a natural yet transformative phase in a woman’s life. Awareness, understanding, and timely care can empower women to embrace this transition with confidence and positivity. Premature menopause may happen due to stress, lifestyle habits, or medical conditions. Women can support their hormonal health with good nutrition, exercise, sleep, and timely check-ups. In India, the average age of menopause ranges between 45.5 and 47.5 years, and the number of women in this age group is projected to rise from 43 million in 2015 to over 103 million by 2026. Studies show that up to 90% of women experience menopausal symptoms such as backache, disturbed sleep, and anxiety, yet less than half seek medical help, underscoring the need for greater awareness and accessible care. At Varam, our focus has always been to provide comprehensive, compassionate care for every stage of a woman’s journey.”
