Getting to the clinic

Booking your travel

The one thing worth knowing before you book: follicles do not grow to a timetable, so your dates can move by a day or two.

• Book flexible tickets. We would rather you paid a change fee than rushed a cycle to fit a flight.
• Do the initial tests in your own city and email us the reports before you travel.
• Talk to us on Zoom or by email first, so you arrive with a plan rather than starting one.
• There is a gap in the middle of the cycle when you are not needed at the clinic.

One patient's account

Fiona travelled from the United States after comparing us with clinics in Greece, Spain and at home. She has agreed to us publishing this. It includes the part that did not work, because a page of only-wins is not worth reading.

We found IVF costs in the U.S. to be extremely high, and our insurance didn't cover anything. After researching clinics in Greece, Spain, and India, we chose Malpani Clinic based on their prompt and thorough responses. The staff were kind, patient, and always available. Dr. Malpani and his team explained everything clearly, provided emotional support, and made us feel cared for. I became pregnant during our first IVF cycle here (though I later miscarried), and I remain hopeful. Yes, India can be overwhelming at first — poverty and hygiene standards may be different — but we quickly adjusted and developed a deep affection for Mumbai and its people.

One patient's experience. It is not a promise and it is not a typical outcome — outcomes vary with age, diagnosis and a great deal of luck.
