Birla Fertility & IVF Centre in Howrah has completed two years of operations, strengthening access to structured and clinically reliable fertility care in the region. Since its inception, the centre has supported couples through comprehensive reproductive evaluation, transparent counselling, and individualised treatment planning.
Part of the CKA Birla Group, Birla Fertility & IVF operates two fertility centres in Kolkata in addition to its Howrah facility, expanding access to standardised reproductive healthcare across the metropolitan region.
The centre has witnessed a growing number of couples seeking fertility treatment later in life, particularly those in their late forties. Such cases often involve age-related challenges such as low ovarian reserve and reduced egg quality. The facility addresses these issues through early diagnostics, evidence-based clinical protocols, and clear communication about treatment options to help patients make informed decisions.
Dr. Sonali Mandal Bandyopadhyay, Centre Head of Birla Fertility & IVF Howrah, said that delayed family planning due to professional and financial priorities has become increasingly common. She emphasised that while assisted reproductive technologies offer effective solutions, biological age remains a key factor, making structured evaluation and counselling essential.
A recent case involved a couple aged 48 and 53 who approached the centre shortly after marriage. Medical evaluation revealed an AMH level of 0.01, indicating extremely low ovarian reserve. After detailed counselling, the couple opted for a donor IVF programme. Following careful medical optimisation and multiple treatment cycle adjustments, embryo transfer was performed, resulting in a healthy pregnancy.
The centre serves patients from across Howrah district and neighbouring areas including Shibpur, Salkia, Belur, Liluah, Santragachi, Ramrajatala and Bally. It treats a wide range of infertility conditions such as low AMH, tubal blockage, endometriosis, azoospermia and other age-related reproductive issues. Services include IUI, IVF and ICSI procedures, egg freezing, management of PCOD and ovarian cysts, treatment for irregular periods, fertility care related to cervical cancer, and treatment for low sperm count, varicocele and tube blockage.
In Howrah, the growth of organised fertility care services reflects increasing awareness and demand for assisted reproductive treatments in the district. Healthcare providers are witnessing more patients seeking specialised fertility services locally rather than travelling to metro hospitals. Structured treatment packages, multi-cycle programmes, transparent cost discussions and 0% EMI options are also helping improve financial accessibility, making advanced fertility care more reachable for patients from varied socio-economic backgrounds in the Howrah healthcare market.
The two-year milestone highlights the centre’s focus on clinical standardisation, accessibility and patient-centred reproductive care in the region.
