In the recent past, more women than men have been diagnosed with cancer, notably with cancers in women accounting for the highest incidence. A new study from ICMR's National Cancer Registry Programme (NCRP) has revealed that breast and cervical cancers are the most common types of cancers among Indian women.

Dr. Prathap C Reddy, Founder-Chairman, Apollo Hospitals Group, said: "Apollo Athenaa represents a new horizon in women's healthcare, where cutting-edge science meets compassion, and every woman is assured of dignity and timely care. It reflects our enduring belief that India can lead the world not just in medical innovation, but in reimagining healthcare as a force for hope and humanity."

Ms. Bansuri Swaraj, Member of Parliament, New Delhi, said, "As cancer is rising at an alarming pace, the Government of India has introduced robust policies and strategic interventions to enhance prevention, early detection, treatment, and patient care nationwide. Our government is also consistently prioritising women's health. Apollo's transformative initiative and setting a global benchmark in women-centric cancer care will complement the national health mission."

Ms. Preetha Reddy, Executive Vice Chairperson, Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Ltd, said: "Apollo Athenaa is not just a hospital—it's a movement, a symbol of progress, empathy, and commitment to women's health. By focusing exclusively on cancers affecting women, Athenaa offers personalised care that respects dignity, enables early detection, improves outcomes, and restores hope."
