Kochi: Britain-based
Bourn Hall, the world’s first in vitro fertilization (IVF) clinic
established by pioneers Professor Robert Edwards and Doctor
Patrick Steptoe in 1980, Thursday launched its first Indian centre
in Kochi.
The new assisted conception clinic here will provide a range of
fertility treatment services to the same high ethical and quality
standards set by Bourn Hall Clinic in Britain, said Mike Macnamee,
chief executive, Bourn Hall Clinic.
He said bringing the Bourn Hall treatment services here, is a step
forward towards the dream of our founders, of making fertility
treatment widely available to all who need it.
“Infertility is a universal problem. We will open more clinics in
India in the next few years. Our second clinic will be in Delhi,”
said Macnamee.
Also present at the launch of the Kochi clinic was Peter Brinsden,
group medical director, Bourn Hall International and president of
the British Fertility Society.
It was Edwards’ pioneering work with Steptoe that led to the birth
of the world’s first “test-tube” baby Louise Brown July 25, 1978.
In 2010, Edwards was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for the
development of the IVF technique.
