IVF has brought smiles into many home by giving them a hope of having a baby. It has served as a blessing to many, but with rising infertility rates in modern day life… even the cost of IVF treatment is getting expensive. Thus there are many couples who are unable to afford the expenses of IVF; leading to suppressed dreams and abandoned wishes.

Few Government Clinics To Lower Cost of IVF

Infertility treatments are expensive and many of the private clinics charge Rs. 2 to 3 lakhs per cycle. This amount is clearly un-affordable to a middle class couple who are striving hard to survive in this world. And even though the rates of IVF are low in India, as compared to this treatment in Western countries, this cost still ranges in the scale of lakhs. And add to that many additional expenses on medications and tests.

Add to that, only very few government hospitals offer free or subsidised fertility treatments. Like for example, the rates offered in AIIMS are 60,000 and its success rate is 30 to 35 %. And as IVF is not covered by insurance, and with no guarantee of success; many patients find themselves at the crossroads.

“Dr. Neena Malhotra of AIIMS (ART) Centre says that “Often many poor couples sell their assets and land to foot the bill of IVF”.
