With alarming infertility statistics and the increasing demand for IVF in the country, it all boils down to making ART and IVF facilities more accessible and affordable. Dr (Prof.) Pankaj Talwar, VSM, Director, Medical Services, Birla Fertility & IVF, CK Birla Group, shares his insights with a renowned newspaper, The Times of India on ‘How IVF stands tall in India with increasing success rates’. He explains that In vitro fertilization (IVF) has been a game-changer for India, and this year marks 44 years since the first IVF baby was arrived, showcasing the changing history of infertility medicine.
He emphasizes on that fact that India is fast climbing the global infertility chart. Also, looking at the population demographic, even though 65% of people are under 35, infertility is a much bigger challenge than we perceive now. The rising prevalence of late parenthood has increased the incidence of infertility due to declining egg quality among women, thus making it difficult to conceive. This is prompting couples to opt for advanced treatment options, thereby, creating huge market opportunities.
