CK Birla Healthcare expands into Kolkata, West Bengal with the launch of its state-of-the-art Birla Fertility & IVF chain

Kolkata : CK Birla Healthcare launched its first comprehensive fertility clinic, Birla

Fertility and IVF in West Bengal (Ideal Plaza in Sarat Bose Road). The clinic will offer clinically reliable

treatment, a price promise and empathetic and trustworthy care to its patients. This launch adds to the

existing presence of Birla Fertility and IVF (BFI) across Delhi, Gurugram and Lucknow.

With a legacy of over 50 years of delivering high quality healthcare, the CK Birla Group currently has

hospitals across Kolkata, Jaipur, Gurugram and Delhi. Supported by state-of-the-art medical

infrastructure and technology, these hospitals have pioneered several firsts and set many milestones in

India’s healthcare landscape over the last five decades. The CK Birla Group already operates two iconic

healthcare institutions in Kolkata: CMRI- The Calcutta Medical Research Institute and BMB- BM Birla

Heart Research Centre, the first cardiac superspeciality hospital in the East India. With Birla Fertility and

IVF, their newest brand and venture, the Group aims to be a global leader in fertility care with a vision to

transform the future of fertility through outstanding clinical outcomes, research and innovation.

Speaking on the occasion, Avanti Birla, Founder, said “We are committed to delivering quality and

patient-centered healthcare. Birla Fertility will strengthen this commitment further by supporting every

couple in their journey, with clinical excellence and compassion. Fertility treatment is not just about

 IVF,

it’s about a more holistic approach to promote good fertility health and treatment. “All Heart. All

Science” means clinical excellence and compassionate care.”

Commenting on the launch of the new facility, Akshat Seth, CEO CK Birla Healthcare said, ‘’While India

is home to 23 million couples with fertility related problems, less than 1% seek medical evaluation for

their issues, primarily due to a lack of awareness. At Birla Fertility our endeavour is to build awareness

and access to reliable fertility treatment. After Kolkata, we plan to expand to other major cities and

towns in West Bengal to build a network of 8 to 10 centres in the State. In order to reiterate our

commitment in spreading fertility awareness in communities across the country, we will offer free OPD

consultations.’’

Dr. (Col) Prof. Pankaj Talwar VSM, Head of Medical Services, Birla Fertility & IVF added,” Contrary to

popular belief, fertility is an issue which affects both men and women, and our brand focus will be on

creating awareness around this. In addition to IVF treatment, we offer a comprehensive portfolio of

fertility treatments. This includes male infertility treatments, and advanced facilities for genetic

screening, diagnostics, laparoscopic gynecological procedures and donor services. We are also very

pleased to be able to offer fertility preservation services, which include those for cancer patients. Next

in our line of treatment options will be the launch of a pioneering programme in consultation with

Oncologists: Ovarian Tissue Freezing for younger cancer patients.
