About our department

The IVF Clinic of the Department of Assisted Reproduction and Genetics, Jaslok Hospital and Research Centre, Mumbai, India, has been functional since October 1990. We have had the privilege to render fertility treatment to infertile couples from every state of India and from 40 different countries resulting in the birth of over 2300 babies.

A survey to help patients find the best fertility center in IVF was conducted by India's leading weekly News Magazine - OUTLOOK in July 2002. The opinion of 679 doctors around the country was taken. Jaslok's IVF services were rated as the best in Mumbai and as one of the best in the country.

Dr. Firuza Parikh has been selected by doctors and patients interviewed by THE WEEK (May 6, 2007) which is one of the leading News Magazine in India as a pioneer in the field of IVF and Assisted Reproduction.

Our IVF Clinic has state-of-the art facilities for In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), Laser Assisted Hatching (LAH), Semen banking, Embryo Cryopreservation and Cumulus Aided Transfer (CAT- a technique pioneered by Dr. Firuza Parikh for the first time in the world) 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. Endoscopic procedures & surgical management of infertility are 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 couple, 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.
