| Malpani Infertility
Clinic offers IVF (
In Vitro Fertilisation ) Treatment to infertile couples
from all over the world. Like
most infertile couples, you know that IVF can maximise
your chances of getting pregnant. However, if you are
worried that it is too expensive for you to be able
to afford, we have good news for you.
At the Malpani Infertility Clinic,
Dr. Aniruddha
and Dr. Anjali Malpani provide
state-of-the-art IVF treatment at affordable prices
in a comfortable atmosphere. We offer all the newest
reproductive techniques, including IVF, ICSI, laser
assisted hatching, embryo freezing, egg donation, PGD
, embryo biopsy, and blastocyst transfer.
If you have done IVF at another clinic,
have you got upset that a different doctor attended
your procedures each time? Are you forced to talk to
a number of different nurses, with no real direction
? Are you having trouble getting the feedback or explanations
you need ? At Malpani Infertility Clinic, all the treatment
( including the consultation, all the ultrasound scans,
egg collection and embryo transfers are done personally
by either Dr Anjali Malpani and Dr Aniruddha Malpani).
The buck stops with us - and we don't delegate any part
of your delicate and critical IVF treatment to anyone
else !
We have been doing IVF since 1991;
and perform about 300 IVF cycles every year.

Philosophy
We adopt a success-oriented approach
towards infertility. This is very different from the
traditional medical approach, so it needs to be described
in detail.
Many infertile couples want to know
- "What is the diagnosis, doctor? Why am I not
getting pregnant?" Or "Why did the IVF cycle
not work?" However, we feel this is the wrong question
- and if you ask the wrong question, you get the wrong
answer!
Rather than focusing on what your
problem is, you should focus on the solution - which
is a baby! This means that the question you should be
asking is "What can we do to maximise our chances
of getting pregnant?"
Instead of spending time, money and
energy on diagnostic testing, it makes more sense to
select treatment options which maximise the chances
of getting pregnant. You should concentrate on treatment
paths and action plans - the next step forward, rather
than worry about diagnostic labels.
Fortunately, today with IVF technology,
we are better at solving problems for infertile couples
rather than diagnosing them. This often means that while
we may not be able to explain why embryos did not successfully
implant after IVF, the chances of success by repeating
the treatment cycle remain excellent.

Coming to Malpani Infertility
Clinic for IVF treatment
Coming to Bombay (Mumbai) for
IVF is extremely easy.
Bombay (Mumbai) is a major metropolis, and has its own international airport. You can book your
tickets online, and find the best deals by asking Indian
travel agents in your city. Another option is to check
out
www.bootsnall.com
. A return air ticket to India from the US costs about US $ 1000- 1500. Your husband can accompany you, or you can hand-carry his frozen sperm in a dry shipper ( which you will need to borrow from your local infertility clinic) or in a
dry-ice box packed with dry ice.
The clinic is in the
heart of south Bombay,
and is an hour's ride away from the airport. IVF
treatment is done on a day-care basis, so you do not
need hospitalisation at all. There are many
hotels
nearby and we can help you arrange accommodation in
close proximity to our clinic. You only need to make 4 -
6 visits to the clinic during the entire cycle, and
after the embryo transfer, you can fly back home.
Over half our patients come to us from out of Bombay;
and a quarter of all our patients come from overseas, so
we are very experienced in meeting your special needs.
To make the process as easy as possible for you, we have
developed protocols that allow you to interact easily
with us by email. You can have all your preliminary
testing and care performed by your own doctor in your
own town. This means that with well-planned scheduling,
you only need to spend about 10 to 20 days at our clinic
to complete an IVF cycle of treatment.
Traveling to do IVF may
make it less stressful for you. Getting prepared for the
cycle is more stressful (things to do to get ready for
the trip, etc.), but the cycle itself may be less
stressful. You can do a lot of sightseeing and you may
obsess less about the cycle that way than you would have
if you were home and working. Also, you have fewer
responsibilities to worry about and can concentrate on
your cycle.
Over the last 13 years, we have treated
patients from all over the world
- USA, UK, Australia, Middle East , Kenya, Nigeria and
Singapore. Our patients have been surprised and pleased
at the convenience that our system offers them . In
fact, many feel that it is easier to be treated at
Malpani Infertility Clinic, than to take treatment in
their own home city . In addition, taking off 10 to 14
days in a relaxed setting, where you can bond with your
partner and with us can only help promote an optimal
outcome. You can also fly down to see the Taj Mahal, or
get an ayurvedic massage in Kerala to melt your stress
away.
A complete
IVF cycle
at our clinic costs only US $ 2500 - and this is
all-inclusive of all medical procedures, including lab
tests, scans, egg pickup and embryo transfer. The
approximate total costs of all the medicines used for
superovulation for one complete cycle is about US $ 800
more. A complete cycle of IVF with ICSI costs US $ 3000.
The total costs of all the medicines used for
superovulation for one complete cycle is about US $ 800
more. A complete cycle of PGD costs US $ 5000. The
approximate total costs of all the medicines used for
superovulation for one complete cycle is about US $ 800
more. . A complete cycle of donor egg IVF costs US $
5000 only ( including payment for the egg donor). Embryo
adoption costs US $ 4000 only.
We provide a package
deal which includes ALL costs, rather than add on costs
for individual services ( such as consultations, scans,
blood tests and so on) which many other clinics do !
This helps patients to know what their TOTAL cost will
be upfront. We have no hidden expenses.
As an added service to our patients, we now accept
payment at the clinic using international credit cards
( Visa, MasterCard or American Express). Travelling all the way to India for
IVF treatment can be a difficult decision for many couples
- especially those who have never been to India before.
Here are some guidelines from one of our patients from
the US, Fiona , which may help you to make a well-informed
decision.
" I found out about the Malpani
Infertility Clinic by searching the internet. My husband
and I had found out about the costs of IVF in Louisiana,
USA and due to the fact that our health insurance does
not cover anything related to infertility so we knew
that it would be expensive. It wasn't about not being
able to afford it but more about not wanting to pay
so much money to basically line the doctors/hospitals
pocket. Coming from the UK, we find the American health
system, in terms of cost, a bit of a nightmare. My research
then started on countries that we knew offered IVF at
reduced costs, such as Greece, Spain and India. I sent
off emails to various clinics within these three countries
and judged them by the response I received. I was amazed
by the apparent lack of response from many clinics,
and some provided such poor information that I didn't
bother with them any further. The Malpani Clinic was
prompt, informative, friendly and very patient. Further
investigation by various reports on the internet reassured
me of their good reputation and an internet friend of
mine based in Mumbai also assured me of their credibility.
My expectations of Indian doctors
was quite high. We have many doctors in the UK and USA
that have come from India or Pakistan and that were
also educated in their home countries so I figured that
if my research was thorough then I would not be disappointed.
My husband and I are an educated and professional couple
so our view on such things may be different. I would
not be surprised by people not knowing this and viewing
such countries as 'third world' as such by nothing more
than their own ignorance.
I am presently living in New Orleans
in Louisiana. I moved here about 4 years ago from the
UK, where I was born. I studied in Aberdeen for my BA
Degree in Business Studies, which when completed I used
for a couple of jobs within the Oil Industry. Two years
prior to my departures to the U.S. I changed careers
and became a College Lecturer in Business Administration,
a job that I just adored. My British fiancée
got a job in the U.S. and I moved with him where we
married shortly after, I am presently studying for my
BSc in Geosciences. I have been trying to conceive for
30 months and have had many consultations with specialists
in New Orleans. This has involved the following: HSG,
2 IUI's and a laparoscopy. I became pregnant with my
first IVF performed by the Malpanis but unfortunately
lost it but am hoping that my next attempt is successful.
Yes , Westerners do have a poor opinion
of India but that is due to what they see on the television,
they are not educated about India via any other medium.
But saying that, I would say that I personally was shocked
by some of what I saw on my visit; after my treatment
we toured for 2 weeks around Rajasthan and Delhi and
were horrified by some of our sights. For example, the
train station at Delhi was in my mind atrocious with
an overpowering smell of urine, piles of excrement on
the tracks and rats in plain view. We are probably an
over-zealous nation (UK and USA) with our control of
germs, we like things clean and out of sight so to see
the things I mentioned are very off-putting. And then
there is the poverty, and I can see how for some it
would be very distressing.
I must say that I got used to it and
now have a great affection for Mumbai and its people.
As for the Clinic I cannot praise it enough after all
it aided me in achieving my goal. It does sit within
a non-descript looking building but once in the office
you notice how nicely furnished and clean the surroundings
are. The staff are courteous and kind; the Malpani's
are wonderful - they explained everything I need to
know as many times as I needed to know it. They comforted
me when I was feeling unwell and lonely, in times going
beyond the call of duty. It is these things that are
missing in Western medicine, and I hope that it is not
lost in India's effort to become a medical provider
to more people around the world. "
India can be an exciting place to
visit ! We promise to make your trip productive and
fruitful ( pun intended) !
Here are some useful tips for travellers
to India.
