The problems which bad IVF clinics cause.



In an ideal world, all IVF clinics would be equally good.
They would have high quality control standards; would be open and transparent; follow global best practices; respect their patients;  and share medical records routinely and proactively with their patients , so that whether or not patients got pregnant, they would have peace of mind that they have received good quality treatment.
Tragically, this just does not happen in India today , and sadly the government hasn't done a good job with regulating IVF clinics.
This means the quality can be extremely patchy, and while we do have some world class IVF clinics, we have some terrible ones as well.
This is why it's so important that patients be proactive and learn to figure out the difference between a good and a bad IVF clinic.
The good news is it's easy to do so , because all you need to do is demand photos of your embryos.. The bad news is that bad IVF clinics refuse to share these, and thus end up damaging the reputation of the entire IVF profession, because patients get upset when the doctor hides information from them.
And once patients have burned their fingers with one IVF clinic, they're very reluctant to go to a second one , because they think all IVF clinics are equally bad, and will cheat them.

What to find an IVF clinic which respects your time and intelligence ?
