  10. Altius Hospital Being the Womb for Every Woman Success comes from curiosity, concentration, perseverance and self-criticism. It is your energy and persistence that will make you conquer your goals.

  11. 10 Most Trusted IVF & Fertility Centers for 2022 W technologies today. As things have improved with time, the introduction of assisted reproductive technology like In Vitro Fertilisation and others made every couple's dream come true and gave them the happiness of being parents to their child and, finally, the opportunity to celebrate with society. ith the advent of technology, several medical systems have evolved, from the first test tube in the 70s to the assistive reproductive healthcare accessible for all. Everyone should get Quality treatment at an affordable and transparent price.” The target was set, and the journey had begun. And it was all possible because of the ability and experience of the founder. Doctor Protean Health emergencies call for skills of versatility and agility. The founder with his specialization in various laparoscopic sling procedures for nulliparous prolapse, Hysteroscopic surgeries for uterine septum, Tubal Cannulations, Adhesiolysis, and all methods of endometrial ablation, including TCRE and LASER ablation, as an alternative to hysterectomy, has led the hospital to reach up the ladder of But observing the reality, one might wonder, "Are the new- age fertility options accessible to all couples, and is the process transparent and safe for every woman?” In answering this question, many leading hospitals, in collaboration with advancing technology and skilled professionals, have tried to deliver safety and transparency in the process and have made more families happy by expanding access to fertility treatments. One such leading hospital is Altius Hospital, whose core values of transparency and ethical practices, along with warmth and compassion in providing IVF treatment, have positioned it as the most reliable name in the IVF & Fertility Centre in 2022. The hospital is touching the skies with its committed staff and technology, who are rightly led and guided by its Founder Dr. B. Ramesh, who has a special interest in Infertility treatment and IVF and has been successfully running three IVF centers in Bangalore. Let's read more about the change the hospital is driving in the healthcare sector. The Inception Story The journey of an arrow begins when an archer holds it on the bowstring and ends when it strikes the center of the archery board. The archer's goal is translated into reality by the arrow. This scenario aptly summarizes the inspiration behind the inception of Altius Hospital. The hospital was started by Dr. B. Ramesh in 2004, where his inspiration was his goal. He expresses, “over the journey of becoming a doctor, I have seen many patients missing out on best treatment option due to lack of advanced resources and treatment options.” Hence, my aim was to make healthcare accessible for all. Everyone should get Quality treatment at an a?ordable and transparent price. To tackle this challenge and while reminiscing the beginning, he continues, “Hence, my aim was to make

  12. success. “We perform SILS,” he proudly shares, “We were the first teams to perform 3D laparoscopic surgeries in India.” Service Ÿ Compassion Ÿ Elaborating further, he says, “I also treat cases of urinary stress incontinence and laparoscopic pelvic floor repair referred by Gynaecologists and other colleagues.” Integrity Ÿ The hospital, to ensure that its' short-term goals are achieved, is supported by a strong mission to always ensure that the patient experience and care are at the heart of everything the hospital serves to. Not limiting the ambitions and drive to provide quality care and to have a special interest in Infertility treatment and IVF, the founder, has been successfully running three IVF centers in Bangalore. The commitment to core values is also visible in the products and services the hospital offers. Service, Compassion and Integrity– The Heart of Altius Serving Affordability An organization takes a professional jump when it sticks to its core values. It becomes essential, especially in the healthcare niche where most of the ethical dilemmas are faced. Keeping in mind important, the hospital is driven by its core values of transparency and ethical practice, which is reachable to all sections of society. It is founded on three pillars: Talking about the services the hospital offers, Dr. B. Ramesh says, “Our USP is Advanced yet Affordable IVF Care.” The hospital's USP is driven by a motto, which Dr. B Ramesh describes as, “It is our endeavor to buy warmth

  13. Clinically – NK cell Biopsy, BAPC: BM-derived stem cell injection Hysteroscopically. and compassion to IVF treatment with honesty and transparency.” Ÿ The endeavor has drafted a linear growth curve for the hospital as it is up to date and on par with all other infertility centers. The founder proudly says, “we have 60% successful pregnancy rates. An added advantage is that we have a Laparoscopic facility which gives the upper hand on better treatment for all the Infertility patients.” Micromanipulation (ICSI) Ÿ Laser Assisted Hatching Ÿ Embryo Biopsy Ÿ Time Lapse Imaging, PGD, PGS etc Ÿ This has distinguished its place in the market and made it achieve a branding of being reliable in the fertility centers. But some more factors and efforts have helped it reach this position. The remarkable progress with the adoption of the latest technology is seen in the amazing clinical pregnancy success rate of 50 percent and the total pregnancy success rate of 70 percent. The Add-Ons: Pendent and Or1 Altius Hospital is one of India's best leading centers with Gynaec Laparoscopic surgery, Infertility & Urogynaecology treatments. It is a 50 Bedded Hospital with High Tech State-of- art specialty center. Talking further about his pride in the hospital, Dr. B. Ramesh says, “Our hospital is renowned as the Third Operation Theatre in the country to have OR1 system (first in Karnataka). With IVF treatment, we are also Number 1 in Laparoscopic surgeries; we provide advanced treatment facilities, i.e., V NOTES, SILS, 3 D Lap, etc.” Being abreast with the latest architectural design innovations, the hospital has all equipment and monitors suspended from the ceiling by pendents and cables. Gas connections to the equipment run through the pendent. The advantage of pendent system is saving floor space and concealing all the cables and connections. Pendent with the equipment can be moved to 360 degrees throughout in operation room. Further elaborating on the benefits of the OR1 system, he explains, “With OR1's help, the entire control of Medical Devices, Lighting, Room, Cameras, and Tele-conferencing from a Central Station inside or outside with the sterile area communication BUS system (SCB) can be monitored continuously & smoothly.” It is our endeavor to buy warmth and compassion to IVF treatment with honesty and transparency. The Doctor and his Tools The world is surviving on machines, quite literally, and hence every health organization needs to include upgrading and evolving technological solutions in the dynamic healthcare space. At Altius, this has been done through the following fertility solutions to facilitate the latest fertility treatments. These include:

  14. Patient's Tales Patient's Tales Mrs. Nandini, “A?er trying for many years spontaneously, we conceived through IVF treatment under Dr. B. Ramesh and since then we have been under his constant supervision along with his team. We had a very happy nine-month antenatal journey and delivered in safe hands.” Mrs. Madhushri, “Today I've been blessed with my pregnancy positive news and all thanks to the entire team at Altius Hospital. I had come to them with a failed IVF cycle at another center. I was emotionally sha?ered when I came. From my first consultation at Altius to the entire treatment of my IVF cycle – I've realized how di?erent and diligently Dr. Ramesh has handled it. A thorough investigation was done for my previous failure and the entire team of doctors and embryologists kept me updated regularly on the processes. And today I'm so grateful to them for this positive news. I would also like to thank the sisters and counselor and wish the best for the team at Altius.”

  15. Ideating Future Change Venturing into the minutia of technological advancements, the solutions of machine learning and artificial intelligence are proving to be like a trump for a hospital in patient care. Along similar lines, talking about this, Dr. B. Ramesh shares, “We have a data computerized system which gives us correct analysis and tracking of patient's history and progress. Artificial intelligence is yet to be implemented, which we are going to soon apply in our near future to improve our success rate. Machine learning will update us in our academics to give us progress in our treatment protocol.” We were the first teams to perform 3D laparoscopic surgeries in India. It is not just technology but human cognitive skills too that enhance operations in any industry. The efficiency of these skills, along with words of wisdom from the experienced, turn a commoner into a leader. Scaling heights While being in the present is good but being constant is not. The present should be dynamic, which would help one achieve future heights. Shaping the present of the hospital while being dynamic, the founder envisions the future of the hospital as, “Now with years of experience in the subject, I want to promote all the recent advances used in western countries to be easily available for our patients. I want to establish a well-trained team of doctors to make my Altius Hospital the best Healthcare center. To train all the young doctors with the advanced facility so that they will take it forward to the higher step.” Venture with Wisdom When one ventures into a sector or plans to venture, several apprehensions follow, which makes one doubt one's capacities, making them straddle the career boat. Words from a veteran surely help in such times. As a leader in the healthcare industry, Dr. B. Ramesh's advice to budding entrepreneurs is, “Success comes from curiosity, concentration, perseverence and self-criticism. It is your energy and persistence that will make you conquer your goals.”

Diagnostic tests may also help health practitioners direct specific medications to patients who are likely to benefit from them, reducing or eliminating ineffective treatments. Some medical device and diagnostic companies are developing POC tests for cancer, tuberculosis and stroke markers, among others. These diagnostics could help with chronic disease prevention, early detection and management. When test results are provided to patients while receiving care, it speeds up diagnoses, increases care efficiencies and potentially lowers costs associated with delayed treatment. Analysts predict that the market for point-of-care diagnostics will exceed $3 billion by 2021, up from $2.13 billion in 2015. Considerable advances in genetic testing are expected to help scientists and clinicians improve their comprehension of genetic indicators for disease susceptibility and patients' likely response to treatment. The first human genome was decoded in 2001 by researchers working on the Human Genome Project, which took 15 years and cost $3 billion. Trackers and Biosensors Genetic testing has a wide range of applications in population health screening and identifying at-risk populations where early intervention would be advantageous. Identifying subpopulations that may respond better to treatment could aid in getting the right drug to the right patient at the right time. As a result, inefficiencies could be reduced, and patients receiving treatment could receive more consistent responses. Biosensors embedded in rapidly shrinking wearables and medical devices enable consumers and clinicians to monitor and track more aspects of patient's health, allowing for earlier intervention and even prevention in a much less intrusive manner into patients' lives. Activity trackers, monitors and sensors embedded in clothing, accessories, and implantable medical devices are evolving to monitor and detect increasing health indicators. Immunotherapy These trackers and sensors could track changes inside a patient's body medication levels, blood/hormone/protein levels, and device performance in addition to monitoring exercise, nutrition, and vital signs. Patients are more likely to accept these devices as they become smaller and less intrusive. Some predict that wearables will become so small that they will "disappear" from consumers' minds. Immunotherapies can significantly improve cancer patients' survival rates while preventing the adverse side effects and associated healthcare costs associated with traditional chemotherapy. Immunotherapy refers to drug classes that enhance the body's capacity for building immune responses. It could treat allergies, inflammatory diseases, bacterial infections, cancer, and neurological disorders. Biosensing advancements could improve patient engagement, medication adherence, disease monitoring and health outcomes. Clinicians and researchers could use the collected data to intervene earlier and more frequently and to better understand treatment effectiveness. Oncology has seen successful applications where therapies can counteract how tumors inhibit the immune function and instead help the immune response to attack tumor cells effectively. Checkpoint inhibitors, like PD-1 and PDL-1 inhibitors, and adoptive t-cell therapy, like CAR-T, interest researchers. To conclude, Immunotherapies are currently showing promising results. CAR-T therapy for blood cancers has demonstrated response rates of 70-90 percent. The innovations mentioned above can potentially transform the healthcare system as a whole. However, depending on its core strategies, offerings and goals, organizations would be impacted to varying degrees. Healthcare executives should concentrate on innovations that can improve their business models. Point of Care Diagnostics (POC) POC diagnostics enable easy and swift testing at the point of care, resulting in more efficient, cohesive and cost-effective patient care. POC diagnostics can be used by patients in the doctor's office, ambulance, home, or hospital. Blood glucose, pregnancy, and HIV tests are currently available at home. - Shreyasi Shelke 24|www.insightscare.com December 2022

They concentrate scarce resources within well-planned referral networks to respond efficiently to population health needs. Today, hospitals are playing an increasingly important role in people’s lives; with great pollution levels and changing lifestyles, more and more people are falling prey to diseases and requiring adequate medical care. fertilization process by adopting the most advanced reproductive technology and changing many lives. Enlighten our readers about Ashakiran Hospital’s offerings and what aspects make it stand out in the healthcare industry. The cost at which we offer IVF cycles is very minimal; we have even offered free cycles to patients with the orange card or below the BPL line and keep it a point to offering at least one free cycle a month after going through all the documents of the patient and after ensuring that it is a very genuine case. We have also offered free semen storage for army personnel because of their commitment to our country, which is much greater than ours as doctors. Hospitals matter to people and often mark central points in their lives. They also matter to health systems by being instrumental in care coordination and integration. They often provide a setting for the education of doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals and are a critical base for clinical research. With ever-evolving technological marvels, how is your organization providing the most recent fertility treat- ments, especially when it comes to catering to the healthcare space's dynamic needs? Back in 1975, Ashakiran Hospital was established in the heart of Pune with the sole purpose of delivering standard- ized healthcare. In 2000, the health institution made its first foray into the realm of IVF. As you rightly said, healthcare is moving in leaps and bounds and progressing towards establishing a better standard of care. Keeping up with this space, our lab has recently installed the benchtop incubator, which gives you a 100% blastocyst rate, which is nothing but a D5 embryo. We also have the latest laser hatching facility, which is used for implantation failure cases or in difficult circumstances when you feel that the blastocyst may not hatch. Under the adept leadership of Dr Ashish Kale, Ashakiran Hospital has built its top-notch IVF facility with the express purpose of offering affordable IVF to all needy people around the nation. Moreover, the health center adheres to ensuring the excellent quality of its care in every way, including through the use of facilities like D5 embryo transfer, laser hatching, and gamete freezing. We have used microfluidics to the best of its ability to get a good sperm count and low motility in cases of OATS, which is oligosasthenoteratozoospermia Below are highlights of the interview with Dr Ashish that represent how Ashakiran Hospital is improving the 26|www.insightscare.com December 2022

  26. The Adept Leader Dr. Ashish Kale founded Asha IVF Centre in 2009 a?er training at world-class facili?es such as the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, USA, and NUH in Singapore. Instead of staying there, he le? behind a lucra?ve career to return to Pune and share whatever knowledge he had gained from these world-class centers. He established IVF centers in the city of Pune, and from there the journey of expansion started. He is now leading over 10 IVF centers in India, where he imparts his clinical knowl- edge. He was also the driving force behind the establishment of Arunachal Pradesh's first IVF lab. This was the first of its kind, and he delivered Arunachal Pradesh's first test tube baby. Dr. Ashish is also an elected execu?ve member of many na?onal and interna?onal organiza?ons like ISAR, the Indian Society of Assisted Reproduc?on; he is the clinical secretary of the same associa?on; and he is also the elected execu?ve member of the Maharashtra state chapter of ISAR, IAGE. He is also heading the NATIONAL FAMILY WELFARE COMMITTEE OF FOGSI, which is an associa?on that represents around 23,000 gynecologists all over the country. worked very hard to tune down these protocols to the pockets of the people here in Pune, while not compromising on the results or the protocols. He prac?ces various unique protocols in his IVF center, which have increased the success rate to the tune of 60 to 70%. He is also one of the leading pioneers in D5 embryo transfer, laser hatching, cryopreserva?on of gametes, social freezing of eggs, and the freezing of semen and eggs in cancer pa?ents. He did not stop there; he has mul?ple na?onal and interna?onal publica?ons to his credit. His original studies, the most recent of which is the progesterone primed ovarian s?mula?on protocol, have dras?cally reduced the cost of these IVF cycles. He has published this study in an interna- ?onal journal, and this is now accepted worldwide, hes not only a good clinician but an academician of excellence. When Dr. Ashish returned from the United States, he came back with the sole inten?on of providing these world-class facili?es to his people in Pune at a very low cost; he 28|www.insightscare.com December 2022

  27. We were among the first IVF centers to do a large study on the use of this artificial intelligence, ERICA, to select the embryo with highest potential of implanting after embryo transfer, and we were successful in giving pregnancy to about 90% of the cases. This system used more than 500 variables at one time to scan the embryo. This result increased from a baseline success rate of 60% because of the implementation of artificial intelligence. However, this system still has a little while to come into routine practice because of the cost involved, the accessibility, the ability and the acceptance. What would be your advice to budding entrepreneurs who aspire to venture into the healthcare sector? Always follow your conviction. Be very ethical in your practice, adapt to newer technologies, and always practice evidence-based medicine that is layered with your experi- ence. This is definitely a very rewarding sector. The joy that you can give to these childless couples is unmatched. Believe me, when any couple gets this good news after spending years going through treatments, the joy knows no boundaries because in our country, we still believe in families, and it is still a closed culture. Accepting this treatment still has a long way to go and needs a lot of awareness to be created. Dr Ashwini Kale, Chief Embryologist How do you envision scaling your organization’s operations and offerings in 2022 and beyond? We have moved towards doing a single embryo transfer, which ensures pregnancy in the patient even after we transfer one embryo, and this also gives the patient a chance to store more embryos for a future embryo transfer attempt or even for a second pregnancy. Well, after COVID hit in 2020, we were all stagnant and taken for a toss. I was also thinking that where this will leave the health sector and its up for grabs, but two years after COVID, I see that this field is expanding massively. Because we now see a lot of patients suffering from subfertility, the demand for infertility centers has also increased. Couples especially female partners are now more open about their problems; they have better access to healthcare workers, and it is a very good sign when people approach us at the right time because, when we have time on our hands, we can give them the best treatment. In fact, this has given us a chance to reflect on how the world has moved to an online platform, which has reduced distances. I myself manage more than half of my centers online now, so it has become very easy to expand to reach out to the centers across the globe and to deliver the same kind of treatment everywhere. Being an experienced leader, can you share your opinion on how adopting modern technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) is impact- ing the healthcare industry and how your organization is adapting to this change? We have Artificial Intelligence in IVF or test tube babies as well, where the Artificial Intelligence software actually chooses the best of the embryos, giving you a high implantation rate and a higher clinical pregnancy rate, and there is also a sperm nanobot that has recently entered the picture, which selects the best possible sperm among millions of sperm with a higher possibility of fertilizing the egg and giving you a good embryo that is going to be implanted. 29|www.insightscare.com December 2022

With increasing trust and a strengthening bond of Sahyadri hospitals towards the community and Pune being a hub for medical tourism and tertiary care, the footfalls have been increasing resulting in higher occupancies. We have been in constant exercise to build up our capacities and scale up our facilities. Beyond 2022, we will continue to adopt newer technologies and expand our facilities. But the most important aspect of our service will remain compassion and our relationship with patients and their families. What is the current scenario of IVF and how is the hospital contributing to enable enhancements in the niche? IVF is not the only treatment. It is one of the infertility treatments. It is now a known fact that Infertility amongst both men and women is rising at an alarming rate in India. While young India strives to achieve more and more, they leave some of the most important decisions of their lives for the future and that's when the problem begins. Blame it on—rapid urbanization, their faulty lifestyles like binging junk food too often, not enough sleep, lack of exercise, alcohol, smoking, increasing financial needs of the young couple which leads to postponement of decisions to become parents, peer pressure—the fact remains that in all of this rat race, people seldom understand that time doesn't wait for anybody. The fact also is that women have to bear the brunt of social stigma. Looking at this picture and putting the causes into perspective, State-of-the-art fertility centres are the need of the hour.

Robotics Robotics is the most exciting and rapidly growing field in healthcare, with developments ranging from robot companions to surgical robots to pharmaceutics, disinfectant robots and exoskeletons. Genome Sequencing The entire Human Genome Project cost the US government approximately $2.7 billion, an absurdly large sum. Especially when you consider that DNA sequencing giant Illumina unveiled a new machine in January 2017 that the company says is "expected one day" to order up your entire genome for less than $100. Robot companions can also help alleviate loneliness, treat mental health issues, and even assist children with chronic illnesses. Existing examples include the Jibo, Pepper, Paro and Buddy robots. Some have touch sensors, cameras, and microphones to allow their owners to interact with them. For example, Ikki, an Australian startup, assists children with chronic illnesses by monitoring their medications, temperature and breathing rate while entertaining them with music and stories. Last year, Illumina's CEO reiterated that the company is still working towards that goal. It indicates that a genetic test may be less expensive than a general blood test. These tests have a lot of potential! One can learn about your drug sensitivity, multifactorial or monogenic medical conditions, and family history. Technology in Surgery Furthermore, various fields, such as nutrigenomics, a cross- field of nutrition, dietetics and genomics, are already leveraging the benefits of genome sequencing. Some companies, including the California-based startup Habit, offer personalized diets based on genetic codes. Over the years, surgery has seen some of the most significant advancements in health-tech efficiency and progress. Robots are assisting with a wide range of operations as you read this, from minor non-invasive procedures to open-heart surgery. Revolutionized Drug Development These robotic surgical assistants come in all shapes and sizes, from a tiny bot that crawls across the surface of the heart to a massive arm that serves as an extra set of hands during procedures. Currently, the process of developing new drugs is both time-consuming and costly. However, methods ranging from artificial intelligence to in silico trials can be used to improve drug development. Such new technologies and approaches already exist and will continue to dominate the pharmaceutical landscape in the coming years. However, robots are not the only technology infiltrating the operating room. Virtual and augmented reality assist doctors and surgeons in performing critical tasks such as practicing new surgical techniques and more thoroughly explaining procedures to patients. In silico drug, trials are another promising healthcare technology. Individualized computer simulations are used in developing or regulatory assessments of a medical product, device, or intervention. While current technology and biological understanding do not allow for fully simulated clinical trials, significant progress has been made in this field with organs-on-a-chip, which are already in use. To sum up, Technology has transformed healthcare, which is expected to continue in the coming years. There is no limit to how far technological evolutions in the healthcare industry can go as long as healthcare organizations and professionals keep their minds open and build the necessary infrastructure and systems.

  36. 10 Most Trusted IVF & Fertility Centers for 2022 Solo Clinic IVF of medicine and, ultimately, the world of all those who could not conceive. A Trusted Solution in Treating Infertility T oday, In-vitro Fertilization or IVF, is a household name. This treatment has revolutionized the world Below are the excerpts from the interview What are the key services that Solo Clinic IVF offers to its clients? Fertility clinics play an essential role in the modern healthcare system. By helping single people and couples identify fertility issues and find creative solutions, fertility clinics help people achieve their goals of living a happy life. Our key services at Solo Clinic IVF focus on the following: During IVF, the female partner is stimulated to produce more eggs simultaneously. When a majority of these eggs mature, they are retrieved to culture for three to four hours before proceeding to IVF with washed sperms. These sperms are then released, and fertilization takes place naturally. When you visit a fertility clinic, a specialist who is an expert in the area of fertility helps you with effective treatments that reduce the complexity and solve the problems. These clinics offer specialized, onsite facilities that provide fertility treatments, testing and support from highly trained professionals. While couples often consider making lifestyle changes to improve their chances of pregnancy, shared decision-making, along with accurate diagnosis and therapy, proves to facilitate the achievement of their fertility goals during the treatment. ICSI is adopted when an infertile couple needs help with seminal problems. In this case, a single sperm is directly injected into a mature egg of the female. These sperms are magnified 400 times and then selected based on their normal morphology before injecting them into the egg. Solo Clinic IVF has been a prominent healthcare organization in treating infertility and a trusted leader since 1992. It is one of Asia's leading infertility investigators with the widest range of fertility solutions provided all under one roof.

Together they address various infertility concerns that both male and female partners may have, making Solo Clinic IVF an all-in-one solution to their concerns. In India, male infertility accounts for 40 to 50% of the total male population, affecting 7% of all men. This rise in concern may be due to changes in lifestyle, environmental toxins, heat exposure, and stress that has brought gained the attention of researchers and infertility specialists in the matter. What technological advances does the clinic has incorporated in supporting its operations and treating patients effectively? At our Clinic, technology plays a significant role in conducting infertility operations. Thus, the clinic ensures that all of its technology is advanced and upgraded to meet its patient's unique needs. For instance, IMSI is the latest technology in the field of Assisted Reproductive Techniques that enables embryologists to magnify sperm as high as 7200 times. This magnification procedure enables them to select morphologically normal sperm, improve pregnancy outcomes and reduce abortion rates.

In our first meeting, she made us feel so comfortable and explained the entire process to us step by step in detail. After that meeting, we were very confident and decided to proceed with the treatment.

She came like a messiah in our lives; we have fallen short of words to thank her." - John Manavalan, In Vitro-Embryo Transfer In my opinion, pregnancy is a far more complex process as it involves several internal factors to determine a woman's ability to conceive. While at times, infertility symptoms may be very clear, at other times, a doctor may recommend you an endoscopic test. One of the most common signs of infertility is the inability to ovulate. This affects 40% of the women and they may face trouble conceiving. Other signs may be related to the menstrual cycle, like painful or irregular periods. In addition, hormonal imbalance may also indicate potential issues related to fertility. Lastly, what is your advice to couples who are currently experiencing infertility? However, I would suggest that it is common for couples to experience infertility without experiencing any signs or symptoms until they start trying. Fortunately, there are several proven, safe and effective treatments, such as in- vitro-fertilization (IVF), that can be carried out to overcome infertility issues and conceive. I would suggest that it is important to remember that fertility treatments such as IVF may not always be possible. Hence it is crucial to listen and understand everything that the specialist has to say before making a decision. 43|www.insightscare.com December 2022
