Dr. S. Shantha Kumari

Dr. S. Shantha Kumari is a Senior Consultant in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Yashoda Hospitals, Somajiguda, Hyderabad. With more than 26 years of dedicated clinical experience, she is one of India's most respected women's health specialists — known for combining deep medical expertise with a calm, patient-centred approach that puts women and their families at ease.

Her academic credentials tell a compelling story. Beyond her MD and DNB, Dr. Shantha Kumari holds fellowships from two of the most prestigious medical institutions in the world — the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland (FRCP) and the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in the UK (FRCOG). She is also a Fellow of the Indian College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (FICOG). These qualifications reflect not just years of study, but a career built on continuous learning and internationally recognised standards of care. She has served as President of the Federation of Obstetric and Gynaecological Societies of India (FOGSI) — the country's largest professional body for specialists in this field — and has been a regular voice at over 400 national and international conferences.

In practice, Dr. Shantha Kumari handles a wide range of conditions — from uterine fibroids and endometriosis to ovarian cysts, abnormal uterine bleeding, and menopause management. She is experienced in laparoscopic (minimally invasive) surgical procedures, which typically mean smaller incisions, less discomfort, and faster recovery for patients. Women dealing with complex or long-standing gynaecological concerns often find that her methodical, evidence-based approach gives them clarity and confidence in their treatment plan.

For international patients, Dr. Shantha Kumari represents a rare combination: world-class training, decades of hands-on experience, and an institution — Yashoda Hospitals — that is well-equipped to support patients travelling from abroad. GAF Healthcare works closely with her team to ensure your appointment, medical records, and travel coordination are handled smoothly from the very first step.
