Neyyattinkara Couple Welcomes Baby After 14-Year Wait Through IVF at SAT Hospital; Writes Emotional Letter to Minister Veena George

Thiruvananthapuram: A fourteen-year wait has finally come to a joyful end for a couple from Neyyattinkara, Thiruvananthapuram, as they welcomed their newborn baby. Their heartfelt letter of gratitude to Health Minister Veena George, thanking the Reproductive Medicine Department of Thiruvananthapuram Medical College’s SAT Hospital for helping realise their biggest dream, added even more sweetness to the moment.

The couple first approached SAT Hospital six years ago. The institution, which has become a source of hope for hundreds of ordinary families, gave them renewed confidence as well. Earlier this year, the woman conceived through IVF embryo transfer treatment, and the baby was born in September. The couple described the moment of holding their child as an indescribable joy filled with the light of hope.

SAT Hospital continues to offer the best fertility treatments at costs affordable to the general public. Through IVF treatment, the institution has already helped bring more than 500 babies into the world. It is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities on par with major corporate hospitals.

The hospital provides hormone therapy, surgeries, IVF, and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). It also offers options for preserving eggs, sperm, or embryos for cancer patients before chemotherapy or radiation. Additionally, a fertility preservation program is available for individuals affected by cancer or other illnesses. Besides affordable treatment costs, the couple said the medical team explained reproductive health and technical aspects clearly, making the experience unlike that of a typical government hospital — as they wrote in the letter to the minister.

The outpatient service operates from Monday to Saturday. Both partners must attend together for treatment, and all procedures — including counselling — follow strict guidelines.
