Karnataka Medical College and Research Institute (KMC‑RI) IVF centre PPP

project in planning

The project involves the establishment of an in‑vitro fertilization (IVF) centre at Karnataka Medical College and Research Institute (KMC‑RI), Hubballi, Karnataka, India, designed to provide affordable fertility treatments to patients, particularly those from economically weaker sections. The centre will operate under a Public‑Private Partnership (PPP) model, where the private partner will manage day-to-day operations, including the use of modern infrastructure and medical equipment installed in the hospital’s OBG department. The initiative covers clinical services, laboratory facilities, and support for IVF procedures, with the goal of reducing the typical cost of ₹2.5–3 lakh per treatment, thereby making assisted reproductive care more accessible to the public.
