Lanka Hospitals Colombo announced the successful delivery of one thousand IVF (In Vitro Fertilization - commonly known as test-tube) babies.
Lanka Hospitals’ Fertility Centre’s success is founded on its clinical and professional excellence and success rate on par with similar outfits in the developed world.
“We at Lanka Hospitals are extremely honoured to announce the surpassing of 1000 IVF baby births. It is indeed a blessed occasion to embrace the fact that we have been instrumental in aiding many couples with the dream of offspring; realise it, with healthy, beautiful children of their own flesh and blood,” stated Group Chief Executive Officer of Lanka Hospitals, Dr. Prasad Medawatte.
Dr. Madara Ralapanawe Clinical Embryologist of Lanka Hospitals outlined the high clinical standards of the processes involved in an IVF conception at the clinic.
Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist of Lanka Hospitals, Dr. Nishendra Karunaratne said, “The success of Lanka Hospitals’ Fertility Centre can partly be attributed to the strong system support rendered to the Centre by other specialists, such as Physicians, Urologists, Endocrinologists, Geneticists, and Dieticians work in tandem to achieve the highest fertility levels of any sub fertile couple who approaches us.”
Chairman of Lanka Hospitals PLC, Dr. Sarath Paranavitane said,
“A few years ago, fertility treatment was only a dream for most couples due to the high cost involved. Lanka Hospitals embraced the concept of IVF and took the bold step to make provision to setup a state-of-the-art fertility centre.”
Lanka Hospitals celebrated the birth of its 1000th IVF baby, one of the most noteworthy accomplishments in the Sri Lankan healthcare industry, on the 18th July 2017, at the Cinnamon Grand Hotel Colombo.
