Indian Clinic Brings Hope to Childless Couples and a New Start for Surrogates

June 24, 2014

(Bangkok Post) – To the outside world, the dusty town of Anand in eastern Gujarat state is known primarily as the hub of Amul Industries and, like everything in Gujarat, emblematic of former chief minister and now Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s successful development model. However, for childless couples from around the world, Anand is just a pit stop on their dream to acquire a baby. Each year hundreds of them flock here from as many as 34 countries, winding their way through the traffic-choked, dusty lanes to reach the Akanksha Infertility Clinic, where one baby a day is born on average.
