Dr. Nymphaea Walecha — Director & Unit Head of Obstetrics & Gynaecology in Delhi NCR

Dr. Nymphaea Walecha is Director and Unit Head of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh, in the Delhi NCR, with more than 21 years of experience across obstetrics and gynaecology and infertility and IVF.

She manages uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, abnormal uterine bleeding and endometriosis, the last recorded as both treatment and surgery. Her operating list covers hysterectomy performed by open, laparoscopic and robotic routes, myomectomy and laparoscopic myomectomy, ovarian cyst surgery and endometriosis surgery. She holds an MBBS and an MS in obstetrics and gynaecology.

Fertility is where the rest of her record sits, and it sits there consistently. She won the second best clinical paper award at the World Congress of the International Federation of Fertility Societies in 2016, and has received the Abdul Kalam Azad Award for excellence in fertility care.

Her positions in professional bodies follow the same line. She is Vice President of the Delhi Gynaecologists Forum, Web Editor of the Indian Fertility Society, and Joint Secretary of the Fertility Preservation Society of India, so two of her three offices are held in fertility organisations rather than in general gynaecology ones.

Her written output is recorded as multiple national and international research publications together with book chapters.

Taken together the record describes a unit head whose theatre work spans the full range of uterine surgery, from open to robotic, and whose academic standing and society roles are concentrated in fertility and fertility preservation.
