GMC’s free IVF treatment boon for Goans

Goa is the first state to provide IVF facility at no cost. This treatment will help childless couples have a baby and fulfill their dream of becoming parents. The Chief Minister and Health Minister initiated the facility with the help of CSR funds.   

Goa has set an example for other states to follow with this initiative, which will help poor and needy couples who cannot afford the high cost of treatment. It is a boon to those couples who have been unlucky enough to not have a baby. Over 100 couples have already registered for the treatment, giving hope to those who were depressed about not being able to have one.   

The facility is set to become one of the most recognised treatment centers in India for assisted reproductive technology (ART). I hope that the people of Goa will take advantage of this facility, as many have a dream of becoming parents but are unable to do so due to the cost involved and the need to travel outside the State. Thank you to our government for providing this facility in Goa at no cost.
