An advanced IUI laboratory has opened at King George Hospital

An Advanced Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) laboratory was inaugurated at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Andhra Medical College and King George Hospital, Visakhapatnam.

Doctors termed the facility as a milestone in the history of both institutions, saying that quality reproductive healthcare services will now be available free of cost to families facing infertility. They said infertility affects one in six people worldwide, with an estimated 2.75 million people in India suffering from the condition.

The IUI procedure involves processing healthy sperm and introducing them into the uterus at the optimal time to improve the chances of conception. The facility was established with equipment and infrastructure donated by the AMCOSA Alumni Association.

Necessary statutory approvals were obtained based on the recommendations of the health authorities and the permission of the District PCPNDT Committee.
