Times Future of Maternity (TFM) Awards 2026 is now accepting nominations. This national initiative recognizes measurable progress in maternal and newborn healthcare across India and celebrates excellence across hospitals, healthcare professionals, technology innovators, public health programs, and consumer solutions.
The awards ceremony will be held on 28 March 2026 at Shangri-La Hotel, New Delhi, as part of the TFM 2026 program. The event will witness the gathering of leaders from India’s maternity healthcare ecosystem.
Recognizing Excellence Across the Maternity Journey
TFM 2026 features 35 award categories across five main pillars, covering the entire maternity journey—from fertility care and IVF to antenatal services, high-risk pregnancy management, childbirth, postnatal recovery, neonatal health, maternal mental well-being, and emerging wellness solutions.
The awards also spotlight leaders and institutions delivering high-quality, consistent healthcare in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, alongside metropolitan areas.
