Melbourne meeting
Presentation in world surrogacy conference in Melbourne on 24 th and 25 th of May *** , by Dr .Anita mani and Dr.S.Mani from GIFT , Cochin made India widely popular as a hub for international surrogacy .
It was indeed a proud moment for dr Anita to be sitting in the panel with the greats of proffesor Shapiro (who was first in world to develop blastocyst culture from California ), Dr.Guy Ringler ( Las Vegas research center ) and interviewed by prof.Martyn ( known as grandfather of Australian fertility )
Our unique policies , which were uncompeted by even the best Centers in the world , won lots of accolades .
At gift center , only single embryo is being Transfered , to avoid the complications of multiple pregnancy like premature deliveries ,and other maternal and fetal complications .
This was in contrast to the 3 to 6 embryo transfer practised by other Centers in India and around the globe .
The policy of day 5 blastocyst transfer for all cases, is a huge advancement and helps in selecting the best embryo .Very few Centers in the world are able to do blastocyst culture routinely for every single patient .
As we offer good success with frozen embryo transfer , many Australian couple , decided to ship their frozen embryos from Australia to South India after the meeting .
Surrogate mothers are provided with excellent facilities in the form of accomodation and nutritious diet , with 24 hour medical care and good renumeration .
GIFT center provides the highest renumeration in India of 5 lacs INR to surrogate , on top of all facilities .
The unbiased interview ( by translator) of around 20 pregnant surrogate mothers of forign couple at GIFT was shown in Melbourne conference , was appreciated by the audience which consisted doctors , lawyers , facilitators , research fellows ,ethic committee members and intended parents from Australia , America , U.k.and Thailand .
Transparency and honesty are making GIFT Center stand apart from other Indian clinics , as the surrogates are allowed to meet the biological parents and they even Skype them regularly .
World class Medical facilities for a lower price of around 20 to 30 thousand US dollars is making our center attractive for the world , in comparison to American and Australian Centers , where they charges are around *** to *** thousand us dollars per surrogacy .
The facts that Kerala has a Neonatal mortality rate of 7 / *** and is comparable with western countries , and has *** % literacy rate .Caucasian audience were quite impressed by these figures very much , as they often imagined India to be full of slums !
