Mysuru, May 20, 2025 – Narayana Health Mysore launches Navodaya, an innovative nine-month package designed to support mothers and newborns through the critical stages of pregnancy and early infancy. From First Heartbeat to First Step – this comprehensive programme brings together expert medical care, educational support, and essential resources to promote healthy beginnings for both mother and child, and is available to families from today.
Navodaya is a carefully crafted package that spans the entire duration of pregnancy through the first few months of a child’s life. It offers expectant mothers a structured pathway of medical check-ups, nutritional guidance, and monitoring developmental milestones, which culminate in the joyous moment of a child’s first steps.
When this was announced, Pavankumar Paramatmuni – Facility Director, Narayana Hospital, Mysore said” “We believe that every mother deserves consistent, compassionate, and comprehensive care throughout her pregnancy. This 9-months Maternity package reflects our commitment to not only medical excellence but also affordability and accessibility. By offering structured care from the first trimester to postnatal follow-up, we aim to make every step of the motherhood journey safer and more supported.”
The Navodaya nine-month package offers comprehensive care that begins with regular antenatal check-ups and foetal health monitoring from the very first heartbeat, ensuring that both mother and baby are closely observed throughout pregnancy. It includes personalised nutritional counselling and wellness plans tailored to each trimester to support the mother’s health and foetal development.
After birth, the package provides thorough postnatal care, including newborn health assessments and adherence to immunisation schedules to safeguard the infant’s well-being. Additionally, it supports early childhood development by encouraging motor skills and cognitive growth through targeted interventions. To empower parents, the programme also features parenting workshops and community support networks designed to build confidence and foster a nurturing environment for both mother and child.
The nine-month timeline aligns with the natural gestational period, ensuring care that transitions seamlessly from pregnancy to early childhood. This is crucial for detecting and addressing health concerns promptly, promoting optimal outcomes for both mother and baby.
Dr. Aarathi Santhosh R, Consultant, Gynaecology and Obstetrics, Narayana Health, elaborated saying, “Ensuring the well-being of mother and child requires a continuum of care that begins even before birth and extends through those precious first milestones. With a focus on regular health monitoring, personalised nutrition, postnatal support, and early developmental guidance, the Navodaya nine-month package is designed to nurture healthy beginnings and empower families at every step.”
Navodaya is ideal for expectant mothers seeking a structured, evidence-based approach to pregnancy and newborn care.
