Dailymirror.com,Kolkata, April 16, 2026: Indira IVF Hospital Limited, India’s leading fertility clinic chain, has announced a strategic association with Abha Surgy Healthcare Private Limited. By acquiring a stake in the Kolkata-based entity, Indira IVF aims to bolster its specialized reproductive services across West Bengal and the broader Eastern Indian region.

The partnership merges Abha Surgy Centre’s deep-rooted regional legacy with Indira IVF’s extensive technological infrastructure and national scale.

Addressing a Demographic Shift in West Bengal
This expansion comes at a critical time for the state. Recent data highlights a significant decline in reproductive rates, making structured fertility care more essential than ever:

Declining TFR: West Bengal’s Total Fertility Rate (TFR) plummeted to 1.3 in 2023, down from 1.7 in 2013.

National Ranking: The state now holds one of the lowest fertility rates in India, falling significantly below the replacement level of 2.1.

Urban & Rural Lows: West Bengal currently records the lowest urban TFR and the second-lowest rural TFR in the country.

A Legacy of Patient-Centric Care
Abha Surgy Centre is led by Dr. Bani Mitra, a veteran with over 30 years of experience in gynecological and fertility care. The center has earned a reputation for clinical excellence and community engagement, notably through initiatives like the Anyatama – Anya Naarir Golpo awards.

“Abha Surgy Centre brings a regional legacy and a patient-centric approach that aligns closely with our values,” said Dr. Kshitiz Murdia, CEO of Indira IVF. “Together, we see an opportunity to strengthen how fertility services are delivered in Eastern India in a manner that is thoughtful and accessible.”

Synergy and Future Outlook
The collaboration is designed to enhance the patient journey by integrating Indira IVF’s advanced R&D and standardized clinical protocols with the personalized touch of a regional pioneer.

Key Objectives of the Association:

Enhanced Reach: Leveraging Indira IVF’s vast network to make advanced IVF treatments accessible to more couples in West Bengal.

Technological Integration: Bringing state-of-the-art laboratory tech to Abha Surgy’s established clinical practice.

Evidence-Based Care: Maintaining high success rates through consistent, data-driven medical standards.

Ms. Surabhi Mitra, Promoter of Abha Surgy Centre, noted that the association marks a “new chapter” that will allow the center to support more individuals on their path to parenthood by combining their local trust with Indira IVF’s national strengths.

With this move, Indira IVF continues its aggressive national growth strategy, focusing on regions where the demand for specialized fertility intervention is rapidly evolving.
