IVF, Surrogacy & KYC – Importance of Verification in Fertility-care

December 20, 2022

4 minutes read

According to Ernst and Young, India’s fertility market and IVF procedures saw a 20% increase during the last five years. But what is such news doing on a fintech page? Shouldn’t this be on a health blog?

Well, as technology spreads across all platforms, it also enhances healthcare. This time, it’s in ways where we not only preserve but create life. But it has many bureaucratic hurdles. Currently, the government has made verification of participants mandatory for any such medical procedures.

Where verification is necessary, Digitization becomes inevitable.

IVF And Surrogacy In India

Compared to the approximately 2.5 million cycles per annum globally, only 0.2 to 0.25 million IVF cycles are performed annually in India. But the future looks vibrant for the sector as the Indian fertility Industry was valued at more than $746 million in 2021. It is projected to reach $1,453 million by 2027 with 5-6 lakhs IVF cycles. In short, the IVF market is growing fast.

On the other hand, estimates show that more than 25,000 children are now being born through surrogates in India annually in an industry worth $2 billion. Hence both alternatives are in high demand in the country.

Why Do IVF And Surrogacy Need Digitization?

Aadhaar card and other identification documents are mandatory to avail of any service at ART/IVF centers. In addition, donors must also be registered with the Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques Act (PCPNDT) Cell. Such requirements enhance genuineness in parents who approach clinics for IVF and surrogacy.

But the primary issue with such measures is the hurdles it creates for potential parents. If anything, such procedures make the entire process onerous.

Digitization and technological resources can resolve this with simple and seamless digital tools. Moreover, it can make the process faster and easily accessible. Hence, the adoption of newer methods enhances medical procedures.

How To Digitize IVF And Surrogacy

If any person is looking for IVF, surrogacy, or any other form to have a child and wants to undergo the process, they need to share the Aadhar and PAN, and hospitals must verify the document.

In such scenarios, we can use the Application Programming Interface(API)I resource to process the soft copies of the required documents. APIs can collect and verify if couples seeking IVF are genuine and donors and surrogates and not volatile. With consent, it can also confirm if the parties involved have had any previous medical conditions that must be disclosed.

Additionally, it can be used not solely for Aadhaar verification but also for PAN and other document verifications to create a better picture of the involved parties for the associated hospital or clinic.

Where To Find Help To Digitize

If you are seeking IVF/surrogacy services, opt for the ones offering digitized interaction, as this usually helps maintain a safer approach. In addition, it ensures fortified data and reduces fraudulent practices.

We can make all your verifications seamless and automated.
