Dr Nandita Palshetkar - IVF Specialist in Mumbai, India


 

Best IVF Treatment Doctor in India


The Trusted IVF Clinic in India That Makes the Journey from Fertility to Parenthood Easy

“We never know the love of the parent till we become parents ourselves.” —Henry Ward Beecher.

Being a parent is scary and beautiful at the same time. It gives rise to a bundle of emotions – a sense of happiness and satisfaction unique to the procreation process.

However, millions of couples are deprived of this emotional experience because of increasing infertility experienced by couples today.

It is estimated that 15 percent of couples will have trouble conceiving. (Source: UCLA Health, 2020)

30 percent of infertility cases are female-specific, 30 percent are solely due to the male. Another 30 percent is because of both partners, while the remaining 10 percent of cases happen due to unknown or undetected causes. (Fertility Answers, 2020)

The fertility rate for India in 2020 was 2.200 births per woman. It represents a decline of 0.9 percent from 2019 figures. The fertility rate for 2021 is 2.179 births per woman representing a 0.95 percent decline from 2020.

Infertility and infertility-related complications like miscarriages can severely impact couples’ overall health and quality of life. They may experience psychological and interpersonal agony that can affect every aspect of their lives and perhaps that of the extended family as well in some cases.

IVF or In Vitro Fertilization has emerged as one of the most effective ways of treating infertility. In India, the success rate of IVF treatment is on par with the United States and other leading countries.

Dr. Nandita Palshetkar is one of the most reputed names in IVF treatment in India. She is one of the leading pioneers of IVF clinics that specialize in Assistive Reproductive Technologies (ART). She has played a lead role in helping over 25,000 infertile couples to have their own baby. With an assured IVF success rate of 35 to 40 percent in starting cycles in women under 35, Dr. Nandita Palshetkar is clearly emerging as one of the most dependable resources for women battling infertility issues.

A Winning Combination Of Unrivaled Expertise And Advanced Technology


Dr. Nandita Palshetkar ranks among the best-known and trusted names in IVF treatment in Mumbai. She combines her many years of medical expertise with the latest technologies available in the IVF domain to achieve a high success rate in infertility treatments.

 

  • Dr. Palshetkar holds the envious record of being the first in India to establish assisted laser hatching process.

  • She has helped establish the first egg and ovarian tissue bank in India.
  • She has also created a new technology called IMSI, which helps improve male fertility results.

 

Making IVF Affordable and Accessible

IVF is not within the financial reach of every couple in India as it entails high costs. To help even those couples who are not financially stable, Dr. Nandita Palshetkar has worked hard to make IVF treatments more affordable. She strives to ensure that this facility is available to all couples looking to have a baby of their own, regardless of their financial status.

Dr. Nandita Palshetkar has put in many years of relentless efforts and hard work to achieve global recognition as one of the best infertility specialists. She is committed to ensuring that the benefits of IVF treatments in India reach everyone who needs it.

She has conducted many training programs over the past 15 years. These programs have helped more than 5000 gynecologists across India understand infertility issues better. They have gained immense knowledge and expertise about infertility management through these programs.

Dr. Palshetlkar also attends training programs, medical conferences, and seminars worldwide to remain updated and current with the latest methods and technologies emerging in the IVF domain. She has also done significant research work in the OBGY field.

  • She's Ambassador – MOGs in association with PVR and IDA
    Health education of girls has often taken a back seat globally, and we are not any different. The seeds in my mind tocontribute towards empowering the girls through health education were sown when I read disturbing media reports in leading publications. That was the time I was also the President of M.O.G.S., which since its inception in 1934 has pioneered many educational initiatives and constantly endeavours to act as catalysts of positive change in the society.
    This was the time, I reached out to PVR Nest and we together conceptualized “She’s Ambassador” program, which is dedicated to the adolescent girls of this great city.
    Through this first ever health and leadership initiative, it is our sincere endeavour to develop the capacities of adolescent girls to act as “Health Ambassadors” within their communities and enact a positive social change on how health of girls is perceived.
