About Us
Welcome to Shelat Hospital
It’s the First centre in Gujarat and India to start in October 1993 with IVF (Test Tube Baby) with Extra-corporeal fertilisation outside the human body to produce a viable embryo that can grow into a human being after transfer into the uterus.
The first IVF baby in Ahmedabad was reported at the Ahmedabad OG Society in 1997, whereas the First IVF baby in Gujarat was born in Surat in December 1995 from the team led by Dr Nimish R Shelat and Dr Ranjanee N Shelat, reported by the Times of India, on record at the Surat OBGYN Society for advanced development in the state of Gujarat, which had faced the panicky epidemic just a year ago. This centre remains the epitome of scientific challenges and breakthroughs that were achieved despite all odds and did not escape due recognition. The American Biographical Research Institute Research Association (ABIRA) Conferred its most prestigious World Lifetime Achievement award in 2000 through the Govt of Gujarat, Ministry of Health, from the hands of Honourable Health Minister Shri Ashok Bhatt at the 7th National Congress of Juvenile and Adolescent Gynaecology and Obstetrics, at Surat in January 2000, to the pioneer of IVF technologies on the map of Gujarat, Dr Nimish R Shelat.
It was the ninth Centre for IVF in India at that time in 1993, apart from Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, and Bengaluru. Today, there are over 1000 IVF centres all over India. In fact, the first advanced reproductive technology carried at this centre was GIFT Gamete Intra Fallopian Transfer in 1991 with IN vivo fertilisation after egg retrieval from the ovaries was added to sperm preparation inserted into the fallopian tubes by laparoscopy.
Since the desire to procreate is universal, infertile couples have searched the known and unknown in the hope of fulfilling their frustrated desire for parenthood.
Medical statistics report that 1 out of 7 married couples have difficulty having children, some of them continuing to fail despite full traditional medical treatment. Medical science has made tremendous advances in the field of Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART), with rapid progress in this field making in Vitro Fertilisation possible, thereby opening vistas of new possibilities and cures.
