Patients
are often not sure which IVF clinic to choose.
This
is an expensive decision, and they know a lot depends on it.
Most
of them naively assume that all IVF clinics are equally good. This is why they will
select one using the following criteria:
- the nearest one;
- the cheapest one;
- the one their GP refers them to;
- the one their friend has told them about;
- the one which advertises;
- the one which offers free medical camps for infertile couples
Sadly, the truth is a lot of these clinics purchase their
renown – they don’t earn it because of their professional expertise !
They do this either by buying advertisements; or buying
editorial space in newspapers, by hiring a PR agency, which ensures that their press
releases are published in the media.
Today,
unfortunately, everything in India - especially the media and the news - whether
it's a TV channel or a newspaper - is up for sale.
This
means that IVF clinics whose only focus is on making money will actually spend
a lot of money on these activities, because it helps them to attract more
patients.
The
ethical doctors who take pride in their professional skills refuse to stoop to
these low levels, which means they depend purely on their patient’s goodwill
and word of mouth to attract more patients. This is a much slower process !
Corporate
IVF clinics hire full time PR agents to make sure that their doctors keep on
appearing on TV channels as well as newspapers. And the poor patients get
fooled ! They are featured not because they’re good but because they're paying for being featured !
