Mulund – The Fertility Centre
MedAnsh Multispeciality Hospital’s
fertility clinic provides customized
ART treatment at affordable prices in a
comfortable atmosphere. It offers all
the newest reproductive techniques,
including IVF, ICSI, laser assisted
hatching, embryo freezing, egg
donation, PGD, embryo biopsy, and
blastocyst transfer.
The MedAnsh team is led by a single
doctor, Dr. Shrutika Thakkar and no
part of the treatment or diagnosis is
delegated to assistants or associates.
Being located in Mulund, a quiet
central suburb of Mumbai, means that
it is within 25 kms of the Mumbai
International Airport and within 2 kms
of a major railway station. Mulund is
one of the less polluted suburbs of
Mumbai in the close vicinity of the
evergreen Yeoor hills. This makes it the
perfect location for an IVF centre as
positive results are dependent on
having a clean and sterile environment.
Defining the True Essence of
Motherhood
Treatment at MedAnsh is customised
for each and every couple and
MedAnsh doesn’t believe in
having a ‘one protocol for all’ run of
mill like strategy. The hospital is
specially designed to optimize IVF
success rates. Adjacent pass through
from the Operating room to the IVF lab
ensures the eggs that are being
retrieved or embryos that are being
transferred are not exposed to
detrimental fluctuations in
environment. The IVF OT is a separate
operation theatre that is not used for
any other purposes except for assisted
reproduction. This ensures that the
operation theatre meets all the
sterilization and air purification criteria
essential for successful pregnancies.
As MedAnsh hospital is a complete
women care set up, the couples’
pregnancy is also managed with the
utmost of care. Most IVF set ups think
that their job ends when the couple is
pregnant and do not get involved in the
journey of pregnancy and delivery of
the baby. MedAnsh- believes in
ensuring the couple actually achieves
their dream of becoming parents. It
provides full obstetric care and
pediatric support to the couple
throughout pregnancy and post-
delivery. It realizes the value of the
precious pregnancy and does not stop
caring until the baby is in the safe
hands of its parents.‘We believe in
creating happiness for all our patients.

Inside the Laboratory at MedAnsh
MedAnsh has a certified advanced air
purification system for the IVF
operation theatre and laboratory that
cleans the air in the Lab and incubators
inside-out. The outgassing of the
materials in the Lab, the incubators and
the dishes inside the incubators are
usually the main source of chemical
contamination. It is designed to purify
not only the incoming air, but also the
VOCs and particulates originated from
the inside of the incubator, gas tank,
and the room itself.
The embryos are kept in incubators,
which are monitored on a 24-hour
basis to assure appropriate culture
conditions. The andrology laboratory is
also conveniently just outside the
IVF OT. A separate semen collection
room equipped with audio-visual aids
helps in ensuring patient comfort and
compliance.
The IVF laboratory is equipped with
the Nikon- Narishige
Micromanipulation System, which
offers ultimate performance and ease
of use, with automated pipette set-up.
This machine is useful to perform Intra
Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) in
couples suffering from male factor
infertility. New technologies have
opened up new possibilities for
therapeutic advances, which will
increase the success rates for IVF of
oocytes from women with
compromised oocyte quality. For
example, transference of fully
functional mitochondria from other
cells into mitochondria impaired
oocytes can be done. MedAnsh looks
for such new initiatives at low cost
assisted with reproductive
technologies, which needs to be
considered by healthcare professionals.
