IVF Cost
IVF treatment is costly worldwide. Due to its complexity and requirements the price of IVF treatment can vary from $15,000 to $25,000 depending upon the inclusion/exclusion of medicines. Comparatively, the cost of IVF is less as compared to foreign countries such as UK, USA, UAE. The less price of IVF treatment in Pakistan doesn’t indicate that the quality will be low as compared to other countries. There’s no compromise on quality at all. In fact, patients from abroad has come to ACIMC Pakistan for their treatment and got successful results.
In Pakistan, IVF Cost in Pakistan is between 6 to 8 lac rupees. In the country, this is not an affordable figure for many. Hence, a variety of packages are available to cater the needs. A general laboratory cannot perform the tasks as efficiently as a specific one for that purpose. Same is the case with IVF Centres. Therefore, opting the right IVF centre is essential for desired results.
The price of IVF treatment may vary depending upon the situation of each case. IVF treatment becomes more difficult with the increase in age. Sometimes, when the cause of infertility is unknown, it may become difficult. Whereas, sometimes infertility can be treated with appropriate medication only. All of these factors along with medical background of couples concerned plays a role in the cost of IVF treatment.
Camps are set-up for free testing and consultancy for those who are facing fertility issues. The testing and consultancy is helpful in determining what a couple should opt for their treatment or whether it can be cured with medicines only. Awareness aids people in knowing their issues and how to deal with them in the best way possible.
