From Struggle to Hope: How IVF is enabling parenthood for hundreds of couples in Nepal

Fertility struggles are deeply personal and often painful for many couples, particularly in societies where parenthood is seen as a vital part of one's identity. For Slesha and Niranjan, a couple living in the US, the dream of becoming parents seemed out of reach after years of unsuccessful attempts. The emotional toll of infertility was intensified by societal pressures and stigmas, prompting them to explore alternative solutions. Their journey, which ultimately led them to IVF treatment in Nepal, stands as a powerful testament to resilience, hope, and the transformative role of medical advancements in overcoming barriers to parenthood. It also highlights the significant progress Nepal has made in the field of IVF in recent years.
