Hyderabad: July 29, 2025
In a developing controversy, Hyderabad’s Srushti Fertility Center is facing fresh allegations amid an ongoing investigation. The center is accused of misleading IVF-seeking couples into opting for costly surrogacy procedures and collecting payments across its branches in Hyderabad, Visakhapatnam, and Vijayawada.
During the probe, officials reportedly discovered several violations, including:
- Use of expired licenses
- Unregistered medical equipment
- Medical operations conducted without proper authorization
These findings have raised serious concerns about patient safety and ethical practices in fertility treatments.
Telangana Health Department Responds
In response, the Telangana State Health Department clarified that only clinics registered under the National and State ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology) and Surrogacy Registries are legally permitted to offer IVF and surrogacy services.
The department confirmed that 381 clinics across Telangana—including two government-run ART centers in medical college hospitals—are officially registered and authorized to perform fertility-related procedures.
Public Advisory: Verify Clinic Legitimacy Before Treatment
Authorities are urging couples to verify a clinic’s credentials before undergoing IVF or surrogacy treatments. Patients can cross-check registration status using these official portals:
