IVF or in vitro fertilisation is slowly emerging as one of the preferred answers to issues like infertility and cases of miscarriage and failure in conceiving. IVF clinics are mushrooming in most cities of the world claiming to provide top class treatment and sure shot result. However, it is absolutely imperative to understand the various features that are integral to good IVF clinics.

IVF Clinics must have the following facilities. There must be a Reproductive Endocrinologist or Reproduction surgeon. The Endocrinologist must essentially supervise at least twenty follicular recruitment cycles in a year to certify for the job. The surgeon should have specializations in areas of obstruction, uterine abnormalities and other reproductive organ disorders as they require treatment via surgery or microsurgery. Services of a Reproductive Immunologist should also be available at IVF clinics in order to treat patients with immunological barriers against pregnancy. The clinic should also be able to contact special labs which have testing capabilities of such immunological obstruction. The clinic should enjoy the services of an Embryologist who should at least have a doctorate in chemical, biological or physical science. The person should have earlier performed at least 100 IVF procedures in a year. At least one person in the department must have expertise in fields like andrology, pre-implantation, pre and post fertilisation and embryology.

The IVF clinics also need the services of a Reproductive Urologist or Reproductive surgeon. The urologist must be adept at handling male factor related problems like urinary tract disorders. The surgeon should have at least two years of training as a surgeon and must be certified to perform microsurgeries. The clinic also requires Andrologists or laboratory specialists with degrees in treatment cycle, biochemistry, physiology or endocrinology. These people generally look at sperm quality and hormonal issues and prepare the sperm for fertilisation along with the embryologist. They can also serve the purpose of urologists. The IVF clinic should also offer genetic counselling and have on board a geneticist. The geneticists look for genetic disorders in parents prior to the procedure and also offer guidance and remedies. Cryopreservation or the facility of freeing and storing embryos for further use or sale should also be available. Moreover, the clinic should also offer round-the-clock monitoring facilities and ample availability of staff at all times. Apart from this the clinic must house a laboratory that has been certified by an appropriate governing body.

Other services of IVF clinics include psychological counselling and also a rigorous process of screening when donors are involved.

Other factors that determine the choice a particular IVF clinic include factors like distance from home, the cost, the kind of counselling that is offered, the recommendations made by a certified doctor, the presence of a patient support group, the areas of specialisation of the clinic, the rate of success achieved by the clinic, the kind of advertising that the clinic indulges in and reports and reviews by earlier patients or of friends and relatives who might know of the clinic.
