CK Birla Healthcare inaugurated its first fertility clinic, Birla Fertility and IVF in West Bengal (Ideal Plaza in Sarat Bose Road). The occasion was graced by Akshat Seth, CEO CK Birla Healthcare, Dr. (Col) Prof. Pankaj Talwar VSM, Head of Medical Services, Birla Fertility & IVF, and Dr. Souren Bhattacharya, Consultant and Centre Head, Birla Fertility & IVF, Kolkata.

The clinic will offer clinically reliable treatment at an affordable price for the patients. This launch adds to the existing presence of Birla Fertility and IVF (BFI) across Delhi, Gurugram, and Lucknow.

India is home to 23 million couples with fertility-related problems, and less than 1% seek medical evaluation for their issues, primarily due to a lack of awareness. At Birla Fertility they want to build awareness and access to reliable fertility treatment.

Contrary to popular belief, fertility is an issue that affects both men and women. In addition to IVF treatment, other fertility treatments offered are male infertility treatments, and advanced facilities for genetic screening, diagnostics, laparoscopic gynecological procedures, and donor services. They also offer fertility preservation services, which include those for cancer patients. They will also launch a pioneering program in consultation with Oncologists: Ovarian Tissue Freezing for younger cancer patients.

With cutting-edge equipment and modern facilities, this clinic will be a one-stop destination for IVF and other infertility treatments, not only for patients in Kolkata but also in other parts of West Bengal, Bihar, North East, and Bangladesh.

After Kolkata, Birla Fertility & IVF plan to expand to other major cities and towns in West Bengal to build a network of 8 to 10 centers in the State. In order to spread fertility awareness in communities across the country, they will offer free OPD consultations.
