This is not a small clinic. It runs as a full fertility system backed by a 300+ bed hospital infrastructure, more than 200 healthcare professionals, and an advanced IVF laboratory built to international standards.
The centre is led by Dr. Nirmala Sadasivam, a Dronacharya Award (2025) recipient with three and a half decades of IVF practice, alongside Dr. Sri Revathy Sadasivam, an MRCOG (London)-qualified gold medallist.
