11 Reasons to Choose Us

ISO 9001:2008

A state-of the-art IVF laboratory: The planning and construction of a successful IVF laboratory is extremely

important .We have created an ideal culture environment for the best support of all our oocytes and embryos.

Direct online monitoring 24/7 for continuous control of culture parameters: We have developed a high tech

monitoring system for all the important culture parameters which guarantees stability of the culture system

and hence the safety of our in vitro growing embryos.

Continuous professional development: Our team of highly trained scientists ensure quality treatment; frontiers

to new developments are experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of all types of

fertility disorders.

Tailored approaches to meet each patient’s needs: We strongly believe in and provide customized care is crucial

in order to serve the individual needs of our patients

A successful program for mild stimulation: We emphasise on egg quality rather than quantity. This is achieved

with loe–dose stimulation regimes.

Special program for treating azoospermia: Micro-TESE surgical technique for testicular biopsy in combination

with laboratory expertise provides improved chances for spermatozoa retrieval and pregnancy achievement.

Exceptionally successful cryopreservation program: Our lab has developed a highly successful vitrification

protocol which guarantees high survival rates for both oocytes and embryos.

Counselling service: You can avail free professional and confidential counselling service any time before,

during and/or after your treatment.

A high standard pre-implantation: For many couples, the genetic screening of the embryos before transfer is

of utmost importance. We apply all the latest genetic techniques which allow the transfer of healthy embryos

with high implantation potential!

Balanced relaxed and modern environment: We have created a comfortable environment where you will feel

safe and well taken care of.

Our state-of-the art laboratory has been organized in compliance with international specifications.

A combination of strictly controlled laboratory conditions, the use of new generation culture media and

improved technology equipment guarantees ideal conditions for in vitro growth and development of human

eggs and embryos.

Our in depth knowledge and expertise on pre-implantation development and continuous search for new

approaches has been our driving force from the very beginning. This together with our excellent success rates

in ART pregnancy and ‘take home baby’ ratios is the strongest proof of excellent quality services.

The laboratory operates under a strict quality control system in order to provide ideal conditions for the human

embryo culture. The specific features include:

A 24 hr online monitoring of all culture parameters, inside the incubator s (pH, temperature and

humidity), to ensure embryo microenvironment stability.

A specifically designed air condition and air filtration system to maintain stability in temperature and

humidity in the laboratory working area, isolating it from extreme outdoor weather conditions. Negative

pressure principles used for this system keep particles and microbes away from the working area, thus

safeguarding the biological material being processed. A 24 hour real time monitoring system is also

included to alert the staff for even the smallest fluctuations of these parameters.

External generator and UPS support to maintain uninterrupted operation in case of power cut.

Witnessing system and double check control of all patient and spouse names, for all eggs and embryos

processed and for all procedures taking place in the laboratory.

Quality Control and viability testing of all consumables.

Our Laboratory

In terms of advanced ART services, Srushti Hospitals is always one step ahead. A combination of new

and innovative services creates favourable conditions for better results. For us, each case is unique

and equally special. We approach it with dedication and heartfelt care for you.

Co-Culture with homologous endometrial cells: This method aims at enriching the culture medium

used for embryo development in the laboratory. Cells from the endometrium are harvested from the

female partner during a menstrual cycle prior to the IVF treatment. The cells are processed and

cultured under aseptic conditions in order to produce a modified layer which will be used for

co-culture on the day following oocyte harvesting. This method mainly helps couples who encounter

unexplained implantation failures as well as embryo quality problems in previous IVF attempts.

Data collected to date indicate that endometrial cells significantly improve the environment in which the embryos grow, by removing toxic metabolic products excreted by the embryos themselves, and by enriching the environment with important nutrients.

Preserving women’s fertility: Today, cryopreservation of oocytes is a feasible reality. Results show

more than 95 % of cryopreserved oocytes survive the freezing process and can be fertilized post thaw

to produce viable embryos. Women who can benefit from this method include those who have been

diagnosed with a malignant disease, those who postpone the initiation of their family until they are

professionally independent or those with a family history of early menopause.

IVF & Acupuncture: Infertility often creates stress, which can play a negative role in the probability of

a healthy conception. Acupuncture has been used for centuries for its ability to reduce stress and may

help to improve the success of both natural fertility and assisted reproductive programs. Acupuncture

can also be of assistance to patients in helping them to relax and to be prepared physically and

mentally before and during their fertility treatment. It could also alleviate the side effects caused by

some of the medication taken, improve response to hormonal stimulation, increase blood supply to

the uterus and ovaries and calm the uterus for implantation.

Innovative Services

The decision to start a family changes a couple’s life forever. Everything else pales in comparison to the ecstasy

and bittersweet anxieties of parenthood. A diagnosis of infertility can come as a shock to many couples and the

subsequent treatment can awake a surge of powerful feelings which can hinder treatment. Srushti’s extremely

competent counselling department helps aspiring parents cope with negativities and stress and gives them the

ability to tolerate ongoing treatment. The counselling service offered by an English speaking psychologist offers

individuals and couples a forum for discussion. All patients of Srushti Hospitals have access to the counselling

service free of charge.

Our Premises

We just celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary this year; I mean, REALLY celebrated because this year

our dreams came true with the birth of our daughter. Last year, we had almost given up hopes of having

a child of our own, having had three failed attempts in the UK and two in Spain (where, unfortunately, the

doctors could not speak a word of English!) Feeling vulnerable in a foreign country and not understanding

what people are saying to you can be very stressful.

After being in touch with Srushti Hospitals we were soon booked for our 1st (free of charge!) consultation

via Skype before deciding what we wanted to do. Upon making the decision to go forward, Srushti

Hospitals immediately began providing us with the information that we needed to begin our journey.

From the beginning, we felt the staff had a true understanding of what we were going through. It was

overwhelming at first but the English speaking coordinator was there every time to answer all of

our questions.

Let us face it: going through IVF can be stressful. However, the team at Srushti took such good care of us

that it helped in reducing our stress a lot and made us feel welcome. We thank you Srushti. Our deepest

and most heartfelt appreciation goes out to you for helping us hold our own bundle of happiness!
