The birth of Loiuse Brown in July 1978 was hailed all over the world as Brown was the first baby born through IVF treatment, also known as first test-tube baby. Due to the technological advancements, more than 5 million babies have been born worldwide through the fertility treatment-in vitro fertilization, a process in which an egg is removed from the woman's ovaries and fertilised with sperm in a laboratory, before being implanted into the uterus.

According to the fertility experts, IVF treatment in India is used to enable couples with a range of fertility problems to conceive a child, and now allows same-sex couples and single mothers to have children too.

During the initial steps of IVF treatment procedure, fertility medication is prescribed by the doctor to stimulate a woman's egg, or oocyte, production. The eggs are then retrieved from the ovaries and combined with sperm in a laboratory dish for fertilization. The embryos are then transferred into the woman's uterus.
