Surrogacy is a method of assisted reproduction where a woman (the surrogate) carries and delivers a child for a couple or individual who is medically unable to do so. At PRAVI Global IVF, we offer legal, ethical, and medically supervised surrogacy services under the guidelines of the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, 2021 (India).
