Shillong, April 24: Bethany Hospital, Shillong, marked the state’s first successful conception through Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) and Frozen Embryo Transfer.

This milestone achievement conducted was entirely within Bethany Hospital’s Centre for Reproductive Medicine.

The revolutionary procedure of Assisted Reproductive Technology with ICSI was performed for a couple grappling with infertility for a decade. Despite facing a minor uterine defect, Bethany Hospital’s expert team employed cutting-edge techniques to overcome these obstacles. Following the correction of the uterine defect through hysteroscopy, the frozen embryo transfer was conducted post-thawing. Notably, all procedures, from ovarian stimulation to frozen embryo transfer, were meticulously carried out at Bethany Hospital, Shillong.

ICSI is an Assisted Reproductive Technology procedure in which a single healthy active sperm is directly injected into an egg to achieve fertilization. ICSI is an advancement over IVF. In IVF, the eggs are mixed with sperms in a dish to achieve fertilization and for this, a lot of healthy motile sperms are needed. ICSI is a revolutionary development discovered in 1992 to help men with low sperm count and compromised motility.

The antenatal care and delivery of the baby was performed by the state’s Dr. Clarinda E Khongwar (Obstetrician) with Dr. Rida P Nongrum (Obstetrician) and Dr. Rebecca Fanai (Anaesthesiologist). Additionally, Dr. Uma Ghosh (Paediatrician) provided expert newborn care following delivery, ensuring the well-being of the newborn.

The achievement at Bethany Hospital not only signifies a significant advancement in reproductive medicine within Meghalaya but also offers hope to countless couples grappling with infertility, underscoring the hospital’s commitment to excellence in healthcare delivery.
