As women embrace longer, healthier and more fulfilling lives, their healthcare needs are evolving too. According to Dr. Preeti Jindal, Director of The Touch Clinic, Mohali, Senior Consultant Gynaecologist at Fortis Hospital, Mohali, and an expert in IVF, robotic surgery and cosmetic gynaecology, modern medicine is no longer focused solely on treating disease—it is about empowering women to enjoy vitality, confidence and healthy ageing at every stage of life.
Dr. Preeti Jindal, who has cared for women through every stage of life—from adolescence and pregnancy to menopause and healthy ageing—has witnessed this transformation firsthand. She believes modern gynaecology now extends far beyond disease management to include preventive healthcare, fertility preservation, hormonal wellness, metabolic health, regenerative medicine, intimate wellness and healthy ageing. The objective is no longer just to add years to life, but life to years.

Routine health check-ups, cervical cancer screening, HPV vaccination, breast examinations, mammography, metabolic assessments, bone health evaluation and lifestyle counselling enable women to take charge of their health through early detection and timely intervention.

Cervical cancer is now largely preventable through vaccination, regular Pap smears, HPV testing and timely treatment, while greater awareness of breast cancer screening and genetic risk assessment has improved early diagnosis and outcomes.
