45 Years of Science. Built on Trust.

Established in 1981, Metropolis Healthcare is one of India’s leading diagnostics companies, serving millions of patients through a growing network built on clinical expertise, advanced laboratory infrastructure and a patient-first approach.

Today, our expertise spans pathology, molecular diagnostics, genomics, cytogenetics, oncology, preventive healthcare and wellness, supported by an expanding presence across India and international markets.

Empowering Adolescents

Adolescence is a critical stage in shaping lifelong health, wellbeing and opportunities.

The programme brings together adolescents, parents, Panchayats, ASHAs, Anganwadi workers and government health programmes to strengthen community participation and ownership.

1.3 lakh+ adolescents reached 6,300+ Kishori Manch groups 2,900+ Girl Champions

The Too Shy To Ask platform extends this support into the digital space, providing adolescents with trusted, confidential and age-appropriate information on reproductive and sexual health, combining digital access with community outreach.
