Posted on by City Today News (City today.media)

Expert consultations, free fertility tests and science-backed guidance brought directly to communities

Bengaluru, 7 January 2026:
Oasis Fertility, one of India’s most trusted names in reproductive medicine, has brought its nationwide fertility awareness campaign — Oasis Janani Yatra — to Bengaluru, marking its next milestone at HSR Layout. After successfully covering several regions across Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Tamil Nadu, the initiative continues its mission of taking credible fertility education, early screening and expert medical guidance directly to people across Tier I, II and III regions.

The Bengaluru leg of the Janani Yatra was inaugurated in the presence of Dr. Mangala Devi, President, Bangalore Society of Obstetrics & Gynaecology (BSOG), along with other dignitaries, who lauded Oasis Fertility for its community-centric approach to reproductive health education and early intervention.

With fertility challenges on the rise due to changing lifestyles, delayed parenthood and limited access to scientific information, the Janani Yatra addresses a critical gap in awareness. The specially designed mobile unit offers free fertility consultations, complimentary AMH and haemoglobin tests, free semen analysis, and safe, hygienic sample collection facilities, ensuring couples receive timely, accurate and compassionate guidance at the very first step.

From Bengaluru’s HSR Layout, the Janani Yatra will travel to Attibele, Hoskote and Hosur in the coming days, expanding its outreach and bringing essential fertility screening services closer to more communities.

Speaking at the event, Dr. Mangala Devi, BSOG President, said, “In my clinical practice, I have seen how lack of awareness delays diagnosis and adds emotional stress for couples aspiring to become parents. The Oasis Janani Yatra is a pioneering effort that addresses this challenge head-on by delivering science-led, compassionate reproductive care at the community level. It sets a strong example for the healthcare ecosystem.”

Dr. Durga G. Rao, Medical Director and Co-founder, Oasis Fertility, stated, “Advancements in reproductive science have transformed fertility care. Through the Janani Yatra, we are ensuring that accurate, evidence-based information and early medical guidance reach couples at the grassroots, empowering them to take informed steps on their journey towards parenthood.”

Highlighting the broader demographic context, Mr. Pushkaraj Shenai, CEO, Oasis Fertility, said, “With India’s fertility rate steadily declining, timely access to reproductive care has become more important than ever. Our goal is to extend the ‘Good Hands of Science’ through expert counselling, early diagnostics and guided support, enabling couples to make confident, informed decisions.”

Echoing this sentiment, Dr. Chinmayie, Senior Fertility Consultant, observed, “The strong response to the Janani Yatra reflects how much couples value the right information and empathetic guidance. This initiative helps bridge long-standing gaps in awareness around fertility challenges and advanced treatment options.”

Dr. Rekha Vishwanath, Consultant – Fertility, added, “The Janani Yatra will play a vital role in helping couples in and around Bengaluru understand their reproductive health better and feel empowered to choose the right path towards parenthood.”
