First international seminar on IVF and surrogacy

During an international seminar regarding IVF and surrogacy, Egypt's renowned Doctor Hassan Sallam said, "IVF and surrogacy are more important in your country and mine, as well as our neighbours because family name and ancestry is still present here. Running the family becomes the responsibility of the oldest person in the family, whether it's a man or a woman. In such a scenario, it's more than important that there is someone to keep the name of the family running. So I fear that this facility will be misused and it's important that rules and regulations are laid out immediately." Dr Sallam has a lot of expectations from the new Modi government, as do various other countries, that he will do great work.

According to the successful host of the first international seminar highlighting IVF & surrogacy, Dr.Rita Bakshi, "We doctors support the idea that every surrogate mother should be given at least 2.5 to 3 lacs so that she can take care of herself properly." She believes that the new Modi government will soon make rules for the betterment of surrogate mothers. About the success of the seminar, Dr.Bakshi said, "Looking at the success that this seminar has turned out to be, we're thinking of hosting it annually."     

According to well known AIIMS Doctor Alka Kripalani, 15% of the world’s population is infertile and requires help for becoming parents. We are here to discuss the PATH TO PARENTHOOD which is the theme of the conference “International Conference on reproduction, Fertility & Surrogacy”. There may be a number of reasons why a couple can’t conceive and to overcome that came the concept of IVF/Test tube baby where a woman’s eggs were taken out from her body and mixed with her husband’s sperms to make an embryo or a baby and after seeing it grown in the lab for 3 – 5 days it is put back into the woman’s uterus (if it is normal) or another woman’s uterus (SURROGATE) if it is diseased or absent."

According to her, like various other countries, it is most important for us to decrease the cost of IVF to the minimum so that poor people can also afford to have children, as well as, the success rate of IVF also increases. Only then will it be useful for so many renowned Doctors to come and talk about this topic in this seminar, we're hopeful of that."
