OUR LEADERSHIP

DR EVITA FERNANDEZ,  FRCOG
CHAIRPERSON & MANAGING DIRECTOR | FERNANDEZ FOUNDATION
Dr Evita Fernandez took charge of Fernandez Hospital from the Founders, her parents, in 1985. Under her leadership, the Hospital has grown from one 40-bed unit to three hospitals with a 320-bed capacity, two outpatient clinics and a School of Nursing. With a focus on maternal and child care, the institution has expanded into healthcare for specially-abled children, medical education and research, and advocacy. In 2018, the Fernandez institutions were registered as not-for-profit entities under the newly established Fernandez Foundation. With this transformation, Dr Evita cemented her commitment to ethical, equitable healthcare for all. Dr Evita is a passionate advocate of normal birthing and is vocal about de-medicalising pregnancy and birthing. She values transparency and believes in empowering women with the right information to make choices regarding their bodies and childbirth. She is committed to making birthing a respectful and blissful experience for every woman, irrespective of their background. With this mission in mind, she brought midwifery to the private hospital sector in India. She strongly advocates midwifery, a practice that exemplifies every belief she holds. She seeks to increase access to high-quality maternal care for more women through midwifery and reduce unnecessary interventions such as caesareans.


She started the two-year in-house Professional Midwifery Education and Training (PMET) Program in August 2011. With this, she initiated the entry of more midwives into the healthcare ecosystem. In 2017, Fernandez Foundation, in collaboration with the Government of Telangana and UNICEF, launched an 18-month certification program in midwifery for nurses from the state’s healthcare system. Designed to global standards set by the International Confederation of Midwives, the course was a first of its kind in Telangana. Dr Evita is a prolific speaker. In addition to presenting numerous scientific papers at national and international conferences, she has contributed to textbook chapters. She is also the recipient of several awards. Dr Evita holds an MBBS degree from St. John’s Medical College, Bangalore and a DGO from Osmania University. She received her membership to the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, London, in 1983 and was conferred a Fellowship in 2001. She is the Chairperson and Managing Director of Fernandez Foundation and the Managing Trustee of the Dr Leslie J Fernandez Memorial Charitable Trust and the Fernandez Hospital Educational and Research Foundation.

Spend a moment to look at the reimagined Fernandez. We believe that the beginning of motherhood is a first of many more moments to come. We have reinforced our commitment to make birthing a blissful experience for every mother.

We are Fernandez. We are Built for Birthing!
