Dr. Urjitha Rajagopalan, Director,

expressed: “As more and
more couples choose assisted reproductive technologies like IVF, conversations
around infertility has become more open. Furthermore, many influential women
speak openly about their IVF journey in public; this has greatly contributed to
breaking down boundaries. Seeking treatment for infertility is no longer a
taboo but rather a courageous step towards fulfilling the dream of parenthood.
With the launch of Varam IVF, our goal is to provide compassionate and
personalised care supported by cutting-edge technology and an experienced team
of fertility specialists. The journey towards parenthood is unique for every
couple, and we are committed to supporting our patients with empathy,
expertise, and unwavering dedication."
