There are 2 types of Surrogacy. The traditional surrogacy is where the surrogate's gametes are used with the sperms of the intending parent. We do not offer traditional surrogacy in our centre. The gestational surrogacy is where the surrogate does not contribute any of her own genetic material. In this case, the egg as well as the sperms are extracted, fertilized in the laboratory with IVF/ICSI and then implanted into the uterus of the surrogate.

We at SSFC have completed many successful surrogate deliveries. We have successfully helped Couples nationally and internationally to complete their family.
