Infertility
Friends is India's first support group for infertility. This is
a registered charitable trust, run by infertile couples, which aims
at providing infertile couples a forum where they can get together
to discuss their experiences with each other, and derive strength
from their collective experience. Infertility
Friends aims at building up a network of couples who
can support each other - after all, self help is the best help !
Infertility
Friends was started by the Malpani
Infertility Clinic, where 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.
We
have been doing IVF since 1981; and perform about 300 IVF cycles
every year. You can take a guided tour of the clinic online !

Outlook
Magazine ranks Malpani Infertility Clinic
among the top five IVF clinics in India.
Our
success rates are high and we keep our patients' stress levels
low. We believe the best patient is a well-informed one,
and the most important person in our clinic is the couple. |
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 the problem is, we need to focus on the solution
- which is a baby! This means that the right question should be
"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. We need to concentrate on treatment paths and
action plans, 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.
We
strive to provide the best quality medical care, using the latest
technology. Our equipment is state of the art and is sourced from
all over the world.
For
example, our CO2 incubators are Nuaire incubators from USA; our
stereozoom and inverted microscopes are from Olympus, Japan, and
our ultrasound scanner is from Aloka, Japan. We use IVF catheters
from Rocket of London, UK; ICSI pipettes from Cook, Australia; the
Saturn laser unit for embryo biopsy from Research Instruments, UK
; IVF culture medium from Vitrolife, Scandinavia; and IVF disposables
from Becton Dickinson, USA.
We
help the couple to formulate an action-plan which is designed to
resolve their problem as cost-effectively as possible, making
the most efficient use of time, money and energy.
 We
keep our unit efficient and patient-friendly. Thus, Dr
Anjali Malpani and Dr Aniruddha Malpani provide all
the medical care patients need personally - we do not employ junior
doctors. Since we provide all our services at a single facility,
patients know they will always find us here at all times.
