Third party reproduction

GG Hospital

Third Party Reproduction

Our centre offers the following donor programmes to fulfill the needs of the couple.

Therapeutic Donor Insemination (TDI)

All our donors undergo mandatory screening for viruses and samples are adequately matched to suit the couple. We have an endogenous semen banking facility.

Donor Oocyte Programme (DOP)

We procure oocytes from female donors who are deemed fit and have no identifiable disorders. 

Sometimes donors are also the patients undergoing ART who wish to opt for the egg sharing programme either for monetary or humanitarian purpose.

DONOR EMBRYO PROGRAMME

We offer donor embryos for those couples who are unable to use their own gametes owing to genetic conditions or incompatibility, repeated failures with own and with combined female and male factor infertility. Couples who have become pregnant and donate their frozen embryo straws are also part of the source of these embryos.

Surrogacy

"SOMETIMES WHEN MAKING SOMETHING SO PRECIOUS, BEAUTIFUL AND UNIQUE, IT TAKES AN EXTRA HELPING HEART”

Thus the process of Surrogacy takes on a whole new meaning at GG to serve those intending parents with utmost honesty, sincerity and understanding. Yes, surrogacy is more commercial than altruistic, but the women who step forward to do it are those who deserve that helping hand to edge them forward and empower them for a better future by way of monetary support. As clinicians and scientists we will further evaluate these women to assess their mental and physical health before undertaking the program.

Indian laws have now taken a stand to ban commercial surrogacy for non-Indian origin intending parents with a view to curb or prevent exploitation of women who enter this pact with poor understanding of the process and risking their lives. The Supreme Court has banned commercial Surrogacy for Foreigners/NRIs/OCI/PIO as of now and is yet to pass a final legislation. Hence we are now bound to serving couples that reside within India.

It is mandatory that rules be followed stringently while planning a surrogacy program with respect to obtaining special visas for the purpose. We are tied to an NGO that has taken on the sole purpose of screening and procuring egg donors and surrogates who qualify for the same.
