AHMEDABAD: Trust deficit between India and Pakistan has not stopped women from Lahore or Sindh coming to Ahmedabad with hopes of becoming a mother. Scores of Pakistani couples come to Gujarat to have babies through the in-vitro fertilization (IVF) method.
Sahista, a 34-year-old woman from Lahore, waited for years to have a child. When she learnt about IVF clinics in India, she came to Ahmedabad where one of her relatives stay. She was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome. Her doctor advised her to opt for IVF. "We did an embryo transfer. Sahista conceived and returned to Pakistan. Two months ago, she became a mother. She sent us picture of her family with the newborn," said Dr Manish Banker of Pulse Women's Hospital.
Radha and Om Prakash Maheshwari, a couple from Hyderabad in Pakistan, too, came to Ahmedabad with the hope of having a baby. "We have been married for over eight years but did not have a child. We underwent treatment by doctors all across our country but it didn't yield any result. Then, our relatives in Ahmedabad told us to come here," said Om Prakash. The couple consulted doctors. "In two months, we have got results," he said.
