Every year, thousands of couples travel to India for IVF and fertility treatment. They come from the UK, the USA, across Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia, and East Asia. And a growing number of them find their way to Gurgaon — specifically to Dr. Sonu Balhara’s ART Fertility Clinics.
Dr. Sonu Balhara — DNB in Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 25+ years of experience, former Senior Consultant at Artemis Hospital Gurgaon — has personally treated patients from Iraq, Iran, Sudan, South Africa, Nairobi (Kenya), England, Oman, Muscat, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Nigeria, Congo, Mauritius, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Bangladesh, Japan and Singapore. She has also travelled to several of these countries for medical conferences and patient consultations — bringing her expertise directly to the global stage.
One of her international patients, Preston Isaac from Nigeria, wrote: ‘My wife walked out of the hospital by herself and smiling… I can confidently recommend this doctor any day, my rating of her is most satisfactory.’ This kind of trust — built across continents — defines her practice.
Why Do International Patients Choose India for IVF?
1. Cost — The Decisive Factor
A full IVF cycle at ART Fertility Clinics, Gurgaon costs approximately INR 1.5–2.5 lakh (USD 1,800–3,000). The same cycle costs GBP 5,000–8,000 in England, USD 15,000–20,000 in the USA, and AED 25,000–40,000 in Oman or Gulf countries. For patients from Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Congo, Liberia or Afghanistan — where domestic fertility care infrastructure is limited — the combination of affordability and expertise is unparalleled.
2. No Waiting Lists
In England, NHS fertility treatment involves waiting lists of 12–24 months. In Gurgaon, treatment at Dr. Sonu Balhara’s clinic can begin within days of arrival.
3. World-Class Technology and Expertise
ART Fertility Clinics, Gurgaon uses the same IVF technology, laboratory standards, and embryology protocols as top clinics in Europe and North America. Services include IVF, ICSI, PGT-A genetic testing, blastocyst culture, vitrification (egg freezing), donor egg, donor sperm, hysteroscopy, laparoscopy, and fertility preservation. Dr. Sonu Balhara’s 25+ years of clinical expertise and nationally recognised research record (Silver Medal AOGD 2003; papers at IFS 2011, IFS 2012; Speaker Gynecon 2011 AFMC Pune) place her among India’s most academically credentialled fertility specialists.
4. Cultural and Emotional Comfort
For patients from South Asia (Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Tajikistan) and the Middle East (Iraq, Iran, Oman), treatment in a familiar cultural environment — with a physician who understands family expectations, emotional pressures, and communication styles — makes a profound difference in the treatment experience.
How the International Patient Journey Works
Step 1: Video Consultation
The process begins with a video consultation with Dr. Sonu Balhara. Medical history, previous treatment records, and investigation reports are reviewed before any travel is planned.
Step 2: Tests in Your Home Country
AMH, FSH, LH, AFC scan, semen analysis — many initial investigations can be completed locally and shared digitally.
Step 3: Travel to Gurgaon
Most IVF cycles require 2–3 weeks at the clinic. ART Fertility Clinics is located in Sector 38, Gurugram — well-connected and close to quality accommodation options for travelling patients. Dr. Sonu Balhara also runs her personal clinic at House No 1, D Block, Greenwood City, Sector 46, Gurugram for evening consultations.
Step 4: Remote Follow-Up
After the embryo transfer, patients return home and continue progesterone support. Dr. Sonu Balhara’s team provides remote monitoring, prescription support, and pregnancy test follow-up via video consultation.
