Pune-based woman and child speciality hospital ONP Tulip has launched the city’s first surrogacy centre.

The hospital that is well known in the field of IVF and high risk obstetrics will offer guidance and medical, legal and administrative support for the entire surrogacy process, Dr. Amita Phadnis, Director, ONP Tulip, said.

“We screen the potential surrogate woman to ensure that she is medically and psychologically fit to go through the pregnancy. Our selection criteria are strict and the potential surrogate woman has to undergo a lot of medical fitness tests, before her selection is approved. Most important, she should voluntarily make a decision of surrogacy,” Dr Neena Sathe, MD, who is spearheading this work at the hospital, said.

The hospital has already achieved two successful deliveries through surrogacy. ONP Tulip maintains a surrogacy registry of candidates from Pune and all over Maharashtra.
