Bangalore, 27th July 2023: Indira IVF, India’s largest chain of infertility treatment hospitals, pledges to train 300 and 350 embryologists and fertility specialists, respectively, needed by 2028. This initiative has been taken up to match the demand and supply gap for such professionals in the future, owing to the increase in the requirement of assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatments in the next five years.

At present, India has roughly 1,350 trained embryologists whereas the demand was for 2,800 in FY23 as per estimates considering 1 embryologist per 100 cycles. In terms of fertility specialists, India has 1,950 gynaecologists that perform IVF treatment whereas the industry will need an approximate 3000 in the coming years. Estimates suggest that there are 40,000 gynaecologists in India in 2023.

Speaking on the initiative, Dr Nitiz Murdia – Managing Director and Co-Founder of Indira IVF said, “The infertility treatment sector in India is currently on a growth path. In India alone, an estimated 280,000 IVF cycles have been performed in FY23; this number is expected to notch as high as 5,20,000 IVF cycles in FY28. This calls for a clear demand for trained professionals – both embryologists and fertility specialists – who can ensure patient satisfaction with the best possible outcomes. We would need approximately 6,250 embryologists and 3000 gynaecologists performing IVF by 2028 to meet the increasing demand, which is 4-5x and 1.5-2x respectively of the current demand.”

Dr Kshitiz Murdia – CEO & Co-Founder of Indira IVF added, “The Indian infertility treatment industry can strategically match the demand of embryologists and fertility specialists through effective targeting and training. For instance, India currently has over 35,000 gynaecologists who can be trained to become specialists while leveraging post-graduate students in life sciences and clinical embryology to become expert embryologists.”

“Thus far, we have already trained 150+ andrology technicians, 200+ embryologists and 350+ fertility specialists at our state-of-the-art training centre in Udaipur, Indira Fertility Academy. The Academy has access to world-renowned scholars and educators from the fertility treatment world and beyond, bringing together inspiring faculties from across the globe to train learners in IVF. The laboratory is equipped with a cloud-based simulator that takes the learner through 1,500 modules and varied scenarios, equipping them to navigate real-life scenarios just like an expert with 10 years of experience would,” Dr Kshitiz Murdia added.

Indira Fertility Academy (IFA) is the academic wing of Indira IVF, set up with a vision to develop and groom talent for infertility treatment. The Academy is based in Udaipur, Rajasthan and is recognised by Merck Foundation and the British Fertility Society.

However, through the innovative approach adopted by Dr. Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury, Gaffur’s health took an unexpected turn for the better, defying the odds of his initial prognosis.

Laxmi’s story echoed similar sentiments, as she had undergone 2-3 dialysis sessions at Maharana Bhupal Hospital in Udaipur before embracing the groundbreaking treatment that led to her incredible recovery.

Vikas Gupta, a patient at BL Kapoor Hospital in New Delhi, expressed his gratitude while sharing his experience. Gupta underwent ten cycles of immunotherapy as part of the innovative treatment approach introduced by Acharya Manish Ji. Remarkably, Vikas Gupta’s journey was devoid of any discomforts, a testament to the effectiveness and patient-centric nature of the groundbreaking therapy.

Bebi Manik Deshmukh, who had ovarian cancer, connected via a Zoom call to narrate her inspiring story.

Delhi, 26th July 2023: In an era where primary healthcare systems worldwide are striving to accommodate an aging and chronically ill population, technological advancements play a crucial role in enhancing accessibility, affordability, accountability, transparency, and quality of healthcare services. Connect and Heal is at the forefront of this transformation, addressing the urgent need to improve access to healthcare services and reduce mortality rates. Through its innovative approach, the company brings diagnostics, ambulance services, clinics, hospitals, and pharmacies under one umbrella, thus eliminating the need for patients to interact with multiple stakeholders separately. This simplifies the overall healthcare journey while reducing complexity and costs.

A recent report by EY reveals that 75% of India’s population living outside urban areas faces limited access to hospitals and healthcare facilities. In this context, Connect and Heal offers various groundbreaking services, including teleconsultation, to overcome infrastructural challenges and reduce patient waiting times, effectively bridging the accessibility gap. By embracing emerging technologies such as digital health applications, telemedicine, and secure information exchange, Connect and Heal ensures that clinicians and patients alike benefit from these advancements while prioritizing patient data protection and privacy.

We understand that personal health information is highly sensitive and can be exploited for identity theft, fraud, and other malicious activities. As a result, we have employed advanced encryption techniques to protect the confidentiality of the information. We also maintain strict access controls, allowing only authorized personnel to access patient data on a need-to-know basis. Additionally, we regularly update our security protocols to stay ahead of emerging threats and adhere to industry best practices. By prioritizing data protection, we aim to prevent scenarios where specific disease or terminal illness details are leveraged for coercion or extortion. Our commitment to maintaining the privacy and safety of patient data is unwavering, ensuring a secure environment for our valued patients.
