Objective
This descriptive study aims to study the cost of IVF procedure at Assisted Reproductive Technique Centre.
Methods:
A total of 70 IVF procedures were included in the study which took place for a period of 12 months from the month of January 2022 to December 2022 and data were collected from the records maintained in the ART centre, Medical Records Department, Accounts department, pharmacy department, Purchase and stores department. This study primarily examined two aspects of the ART centre such as the physical facilities available and the staffing pattern within the IVF centre.
Results
This study found out that the total cost per cycle of ICSI was 8.3% higher than that of IVF. This discrepancy can be owing to various factors such as the higher costs of medications and the additional laboratory processes involved in ICSI. By conducting this cost analysis, the researchers provided valuable insights into the financial aspects of IVF and ICSI treatments. This study found that the total cost per IVF procedure was Rs.1, 00,743, with staff salaries accounting for 59.62% of the cost. Comparing the cost per procedure to the national average, it falls within the range. However, the study revealed that the fee for the natural stimulant 1st cycle was significantly lower than the hospital's cost per procedure. To make IVF more accessible to lower socioeconomic groups, it is recommended to increase the number of procedures rather than raising the cost.
Conclusion:
Understanding the specific cost breakdown of these procedures can assist healthcare providers, policymakers, and patients in assessing the economic implications and making informed decisions regarding fertility treatments.
