Gaudium IVF

History and background

Gaudium IVF and Women Health was founded in 2009 by Dr. Manika Khanna, a globally recognised infertility specialist and laparoscopic surgeon with more than 20 years of experience in fertility treatment. She received the Delhi Ratan Award in 2008 from the then President of India, and has been honoured with awards including the Rajiv Gandhi Excellence Award and Women Achievers' Award. Gaudium now has around 36 centres across six Indian states and centres in other countries, and reports healthy Gaudium babies in over 30 countries.

Specialities and centres of excellence

The centre provides IVF, egg freezing and embryo freezing, and is known for treating recurrent IVF failure, male-factor infertility, endometriosis and high-risk pregnancies. Dr. Khanna reports more than 10,000 IVF treatments to her credit, and the group's clinics are described as super-speciality clinics with multidisciplinary care and experienced embryologists.

Technology and facilities

Gaudium's embryology ecosystem uses AI-powered tools, including SiD for sperm assessment and ERICA for embryo evaluation, at the heart of its Signature Lab framework that combines advanced embryology with internationally benchmarked quality standards. The Delhi clinic is at M-1, First Floor, South Extension Part 2.

International patients

Gaudium has treated couples from over 30 countries. South Extension is a busy South Delhi market district with good Metro connectivity.

How AlisPro MediTours supports your treatment

AlisPro MediTours is a medical travel coordination service, not a hospital. We do not provide medical treatment, and clinical decisions always rest with your treating doctors. What we do is make the journey to this hospital easier to plan and less stressful to manage.

After you send your medical reports through our enquiry form, our coordinators share them with the hospital's international patient team and help you obtain a written opinion and an estimated cost. If you decide to go ahead, we can help with the medical visa invitation letter, flight planning, airport pickup, accommodation near the hospital, local transport, interpreter support and appointment scheduling. During your stay we stay in touch with you and your family, and after you return home we help arrange follow-up consultations and access to your records.

Costs, package inclusions and waiting times vary by hospital, doctor and treatment, so we recommend asking for a written estimate that clearly states what is and is not included.

Before you travel

Preparation makes a big difference to how smoothly a medical trip goes. Gather your recent medical reports, imaging (with the discs or digital files), a list of current medicines and any previous operation summaries, and share them early so the hospital can give a realistic opinion before you travel.

Ask the hospital or your coordinator for the expected length of stay, the likely total cost and what it includes, whether a family member may accompany you, and what follow-up will be needed after you return home. Confirm the treating doctor's name, the accreditation of the department you will use and how emergencies are handled.

Most international patients enter India on a medical visa, which normally requires an invitation letter from the hospital. Check the validity of your passport, arrange travel insurance that covers medical travel where possible, and plan for extra days in case treatment or recovery takes longer than expected. Keep copies of all documents on your phone and in your luggage.

Travel guide: Delhi

Delhi is served by Indira Gandhi International Airport, and hospitals in the capital are usually 30 to 60 minutes from the airport depending on traffic and time of day. The Delhi Metro reaches most neighbourhoods and is a fast way to travel around the city, while taxis and ride-hailing apps are widely available. Visitors staying for treatment often choose hotels or serviced apartments near the hospital in areas such as South Delhi, Saket, Vasant Kunj or Central Delhi. The weather is hottest from April to June, rainy in July to September, and most comfortable from October to March. Hindi and English are widely spoken.
