Oasis Fertility has opened a new state-of-the-art full-fledged IVF centre in Guntur. This is the third clinic in the region after Vijayawada and Vishakhapatnam. The company plans to open centres in Ongole, Eluru, Kurnool and Tirupathi by December 2021.

The centre was inaugurated by Dr Durga G Rao – Co-Founder and Medical Director, Oasis Fertility and Dr Krishna Chaitanya – Scientific Head and Clinical Embryologist, Oasis Fertility along with Dr Sujatha Vellanki and Dr Ramya Vicharapu - Clinical Heads at Vijaywada and Guntur respectively. 

According to a recent study by the National Family Health Survey, while the current fertility rate in India (2021) is 2.179 births per woman, Andhra Pradesh has a Total Fertility Rate (TFR) of 1.7. Also, the city of Guntur currently has a dubious distinction of having a low TFR of 1.5. Experts state that women’s health deterioration coupled with male fertility has been attributed to this major cause in Guntur. To add to this lifestyle factors like stress, obesity, and late marriages have been rising in Guntur city. Moreover, pesticide exposure in men seems to be engendering male fertility issues in men. 

Oasis Fertility has received growth capital in 2016 from India Life Sciences Fund II, a leading healthcare and life sciences-focussed fund, and was the first institutional investment in an IVF chain in India.
