SCI IVF Hospital

History and background

SCI IVF Hospital is a fertility centre in Greater Kailash, Delhi, founded by Dr. Shivani Sachdev Gour and Dr. Vishal Dutt Gour as part of SCI Healthcare. Dr. Gour spent four years as a clinical research fellow in IVF at Hammersmith Hospital in London and worked as a gynaecologist and obstetrician at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh. In 2005 she became a member of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (UK). The centre says it has helped patients from more than 55 countries reach parenthood.

Specialities and centres of excellence

SCI IVF Hospital adheres to global clinical standards and offers IVF, ICSI, IUI, egg and embryo freezing, donor programmes and genetic testing under one roof, together with male and female infertility treatment. It reports success rates of 75 to 80 percent depending on patient age, medical condition and treatment type, and says rates can be higher for women younger than 35 using their own eggs. As with any clinic, success rates depend on the individual, so patients should ask for figures relevant to their own age and diagnosis.

Technology and facilities

The centre has an embryology laboratory and offers personalised treatment plans, following the ethical standards set out by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and the applicable Indian laws.

International patients

International couples can plan consultations remotely and then travel for a defined treatment window. The centre is close to Greater Kailash and Kailash Colony hotels and Metro.

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.
