Medical tourism in India is a leading enterprise and it is
especially popular for reproductive medicine. This is well exemplified by
patients all over the world coming to India for IVF treatments or for procedure like surrogacy.
Naturally, the Indian government is expected to uphold and advance
medical tourism as it is an extremely good source of national revenue.
Moreover, due to the considerably lower costs in India than is offered in the
West, medical tourism can establish India as a leading centre for high quality
medical facilities. On the contrary, though, the Indian government has spared
no effort to create hindrances for IVF clinics.
Numerous patients create and store frozen embryos for themselves in IVF clinics worldwide. While opting for surrogacy, these embryos need to be shipped to India to the particular IVF clinic, which will then be implanted in the surrogate’s uterus. The transport of frozen embryos is a simple and routinely performed medical procedure. Sadly, Indian IVF clinics have been prevented from doing this for months by the Indian Customs Department with the complaint that the ICMR hasn’t clearly delineated the IVF clinics which are authorized to import embryos.
