About our Assisted Reproduction & Genetics Clinic

JD Healthcare's Department of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics and Research Centre has been functional since October 1990. During this period we have had the privilege to treat more than 6000 couples from 35 different countries resulting in the birth of over 1600 babies.

We have state-of-the art facilities for In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), Micromanipulation (ICSI), Laser Assisted Hatching (LAH), Semen and Embryo Cryopreservation and a fully functional Andrology Laboratory for diagnostic and therapeutic tests. Facilities for Genetic tests utilize an automated Karyotyping Workstation for chromosome analysis and Fluoresecnce in situ hybridization (FISH) and advanced equipment for molecular genetic tests like the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Prenatal, Postnatal and Preimplantation Genetic Diagnostic tests (PGD) are carried out in our laboratory.

Couples with female or male infertility are counseled for both medical and surgical causes of infertility. We offer treatment for ovulatory disorders and other endocrine problems which cause infertility. Endoscopy & surgical management of infertility is also carried out. We have a large series of more than 2000 cases of endoscopy including operative laparoscopy and hysteroscopy.

The science of Assisted Reproduction has moved forward by leaps and bounds. Since its inception in 1990 the Department of Assisted Reproduction & Genetics has endeavored to help infertile couples, to have normal babies. We pledge to continue our research to enhance medical technology in order to help couples realize their dream of having a healthy child.
