Research

While infertility is a growing issue, no data is available for the cases in Nepal. How prevalent it is in Nepal? What are the major causes? No unified answer is available due to lack of research. This adds more pressure among couples since they fail to understand that they are not the only one going through it. Also as an organization working in this field, research is essential for us to understand our situation and improve. We, at Creator’s IVF want to change that fact, one step at a time.

A panel of experts in their respective fields, the research committee at Creator’s IVF is dedicated to conduct first class research inside the organization for the benefit of all.
