Weighing a Delhi clinic from Patna?
Dr. Sunita Singh Rathore, Gynecologist and IVF Specialist, Delhi Medical Council Reg. No. 18257.
If you want another view on your reports before choosing a clinic, our Delhi doctor can look at them on WhatsApp first. You travel only if you decide to go ahead with us.
Patna's registered surrogacy clinics sit close together. On the registry list we reviewed, two had a Bailey Road address and one was in Rajendra Nagar. For a city that serves couples from across Bihar, that is a short list, so many families also look beyond the state.
A short list is not a problem in itself. What matters is that the clinic you pick holds a valid surrogacy registration, explains its costs in writing and can support you through a process that runs for many months. The table below lets you check the first point yourself. The sections after it cover the rest.

Stories from our surrogacy families
-
Shalini and Deepak travelled from Kolkata to Delhi for treatment. One coordinator kept a single checklist for their travel, certificates, IVF and delivery, so they always knew the next step.

Gurpreet and Mandeep came to Delhi from Chandigarh. They wanted a team that understood the Surrogacy Act, and careful screening of the surrogate and a complete legal file mattered most to them.

Three checks before you visit a Patna clinic
- Match the registration numberFind the clinic in the table, then search its name on the registry yourself. All three Patna entries we found begin with BR/SC.
- Ask for the surrogacy certificate, not only the IVF oneAn ART registration lets a clinic offer IVF. Surrogacy needs a separate registration under the Surrogacy Act.
- Get the estimate on paperA registered surrogacy hospital should give you an itemised written estimate before treatment. Check how many embryo transfers it covers; the law allows up to three with the same surrogate.
What the registry can and cannot tell you
The registry confirms that a clinic is registered and shows its number. It does not rate clinics, list prices or say which doctor will treat you. Being on the list is a minimum requirement, not a recommendation.
That is why the best way to choose a surrogacy clinic goes beyond the table. Meet the doctor, read the estimate and judge how clearly the clinic answers you. A clinic that is vague about costs at the start rarely becomes clearer later.
Questions to put to any surrogacy clinic
- Is the surrogate's insurance for 36 months arranged by you, and is it priced in the estimate?
- Which tests can we do in Patna, and which must be repeated at the clinic?
- Which steps need both of us to be present?
- Who helps with the medical board and appropriate authority applications?
- What happens to our frozen embryos if the first transfer does not work?
Write the answers down. Comparing two clinics is far easier when you asked both of them the same questions. If a clinic will not answer one of them in writing, treat that as an answer too.
Staying in Patna or travelling to Delhi
A local clinic means less travel and family close by. That counts for a lot over a long process. Delhi means a 12 to 13 hour train ride or a short flight for each key step, plus a few nights away.
Think about the steps that need you in person: the first consultation, egg collection and, if you wish, the embryo transfer. Between them, tests and reviews can mostly run from Patna on WhatsApp, so the distance matters less than it first seems.
Couples from Patna who choose Delhi usually do so for a particular doctor, or after treatment elsewhere has not worked. If you are unsure, start by asking for a review of your reports. Then compare a written Delhi estimate, with your own travel added, against a local one.
Family support, wherever you choose
In many Patna families, parents and in-laws are part of the decision. Bring the family member who will travel with you to the first consultation, so they hear the plan directly. It saves explaining the same steps twice at home.
Read the eligibility rules before visiting any clinic. You will then know which questions a careful clinic should be asking you.
