Assisted reproductive technology in India: A 3 year retrospective data analysis

Narendra Malhotra et al. J Hum Reprod Sci. 2013 Oct.

Abstract

Assisted reproductive technology (ART) has grown by leaps and bounds in the last few years. India has one of the highest growths in the ART centers and the number of ART cycles performed every year. Very soon India will be the leader in the world of ART in terms of a number of cycles. With the advances of technology and availability of techniques even in tier II and tier III cities our country, the results still vary dramatically. There is no standardization of protocols and reporting is very inadequate. Furthermore, there are only ART guidelines and no law still exists. Our first and the biggest challenge is to document the tremendous work being done in India and on the basis of analysis of this work, a proper registry can be made and guidance given to all on standardization and improvement. This is the 8(th) edition of National ART Registry of India being presented and analyzed.

Keywords: Assisted reproduction techniques; National Assisted Reproductive Technology Registry of India; National Registry; data collection and analysis; egg sharing; oocyte retrieval; surrogacy.
