At Prarambh IVF, we strictly adhere to the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act, 2021, and the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, 2021. Our goal is to provide ethical, transparent, and legal fertility treatments to our patients in Ahmedabad.

  • Married Couples: Infertile couples where the woman is aged 21–50 years and the man is aged 21–55 years.
  • Single Women: An unmarried, widowed, or divorced woman between the ages of 21–50 years is legally eligible to avail ART services.

3. Ethical Guidelines & Rights

  • Informed Consent: We ensure every patient receives clear, written information in their preferred language about the procedures, risks, costs, and chances of success before any treatment begins.
  • Confidentiality: As per the Act, your identity and medical records are kept strictly confidential and shared only with the National Registry as required by law.
  • Rights of the Child: A child born through ART is legally deemed the biological child of the commissioning couple/woman and is entitled to all legal rights and privileges.
