The Doctor

My dream of having children is made possible by Dr. Prashant Nadkarni. He was recommended by my gynaecologiest friend as mentioned in my earlier post.

He has had over 17 years experience in infertility and ivf. He has his own private practice in Damansara and is the Clinical Director of IVF Services in Pantai Medical Centre Bangsar.

Infertility is define as the inability to conceive after a year of unprotected intercourse or the inability to carry pregnancies to alive births.

So, if you are facing the above situation, I would suggest you make an appointment and drop by for a visit/consultantation:

KL Fertility & Gynaecology Centre

Suite 604, 6th Floor, Wisma Perintis

47, Jalan Dungun

50490 Kuala Lumpur

Tel: 03-2093 3500

However, treatment at private hospitals or practices are generally high. Average success rates of conceiving are between 15-30%.

For those who is facing financial issues, you can apply for sponsorship from TAFF. TAFF is a charity organisation headed by Her Royal Highness The Tengku Puan Pahang, Tunku Hajjah Azizah Aminah Iskandariah binti Almutawakkil Allahlah Sultan Iskandar.

Tunku Azizah had sought infertility treatments all over the world and had experienced 16 failures and 6 miscariages. She finally conceived under the medical care of a Malaysian infertility specialist, Dr.PC Wong. Tunku Azizah is now a mother of six children.

To qualify for TAFF funding, couples must be Malaysians married for more than 3 years, with a joint household income not exceeding RM4,000 a month.

Application can be made to the following:-
