Centre for Genetic Health Care

Centre for Genetic Health Care is a Mumbai-based clinical genetics and diagnostic services provider founded by Dr. Hema Purandarey and described as India’s first private genetic healthcare facility. The center focuses on genetic counselling and laboratory testing, especially reproductive, prenatal, pediatric, and cytogenetic services. In 2018, MedGenome took over the management and operations of the center, after which it was operated as MedGenome Centre for Genetic Health Care. Its service menu has included karyotyping, fluorescence in situ hybridization, chromosomal microarray testing, prenatal diagnostic procedures, and related genetic consultation services. The entity appears to function as a commercial healthcare diagnostics center rather than a drug-development biotech company.
