About Us
Bangalore Assisted Conception Centre (Pvt.) Ltd. (BACC), is a progressive, hi-tech clinic offering successful programmes in Infertility, Assisted Reproductive Technology and Genetics. It is one of the best equipped Infertility clinics in India, renowned for its sub- speciality facilities and patient care. Its gynaecological facilities are considered to be excellent. The center is now well placed to make international contributions in the areas of reproductive endocrinology, clinical trials, ovarian biology, reproductive immunology and the genetics of fertility. It is our continued effort to improve the standard of services at BACC, serve our patients better and implement new programs aimed at diversification.
Bangalore Assisted Conception Centre came into being in the year 1990 with the aim of providing exclusive care for the infertile couple. A tertiary referral Centre and one of the leading Centres offering ART, BACC has to its credit India's First SIFT Baby, South India's first Micromanipulation Baby as well as South India’s first baby born with the help of Laser Assisted Hatching. Innumerable GIFT, IVF-ET and ICSI pregnancies has ensured a success rate comparable to the leading Infertility Clinics in the world.
We opened our second Centre, “Dr Kamini Rao Hospital” in Jayanagar in the year 2008 and it is a testament to the faith that our patients have in us that the Centre has grown from strength to strength in such a short period. The IVF program in this hospital was launched in Jan 2010 with an unbelievable fifty percent success rate and our first IVF conception from this Centre will be delivered shortly in the month of Sep 2010.
At both BACC and KRH we believe in building partnerships with our patients. We take great care in providing a high standard of individual physical and psychological care whilst maintaining privacy and dignity. We value an open and ethical relationship with each patient who, we believe, is entitled to complete knowledge about his/her reproductive health. In an environment of trust and mutual respect, our patients feel free to ask questions at any time. We promise to answer all questions asked -- and even those that aren't. It's our way of building a partnership.
"In the Cutting Edge of Technology with Dr. Kamini Rao at Bangalore Assisted Conception Centre"
Ideally located in the heart of Bangalore – Bangalore Assisted Conception Centre (BACC) is an Infertility Clinic with a difference. The clinic’s uniqueness lies in its willingness and capability to treat upscale corporate patients and at the same time provide the same quality care to lower not-so-fortunate patients. BACC’s customized care and private & confidential approach provides many a couple with relief from existing social stigmas and resultant stress. The Centre headed by Dr.Kamini Rao, caters to patients from all over the country and also boasts of a large clientele from abroad. The clinic’s broad service portfolio includes assisted reproductve technology or infertility treatment, preimplantation diagnosis of genetic disorders, fetal therapy as well as routine Gynaecology & Obstetrics. Bangalore Assisted Conception Centre touted to be one of the most prominent and successful Infertility Clinics in India has recently undergone a sea change with the upgradation of its amenities and acquisition of modern medical equipment bringing it on par with the best high-tech clinics in the world.
Infertility is a hi-tech speciality, facilities for which are available only in selected institutions all over the world. Bangalore Assisted Conception Centre, an ISO 9001:2000 certified Centre enjoys an esteemed reputation as a super-specialty institution and is a one stop shop for Infertility treatment. It has set benchmarks in the field of Assisted Reproduction and is already the infertility center of choice for patients from many parts of the world. Its gynaecological facilities are considered to be excellent and it is renowned all over for its specialized facilities and patient care. With many earlier ‘firsts’ to Dr.Kamini Rao’s credit – India’s first SIFT baby, South India’s first ICSI baby - a little over a year ago another first was added to the growing list. Dr.Kamini Rao’s belief in herself and her team, bears testimony to her rising success rate, a rate that is comparable to the best Infertility Clinics worldwide.
In present times the concept of Health Tourism is booming all over the globe. People from Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and other SAARC countries have been coming to India for medical treatment for a long time and have been extremely satisfied with the quality of care they are getting from here. In the past five years this trend has even set in with patients from other countries -- especially from the African, European and Middle East countries -- also to come to BACC for their healthcare needs. In fact the number of patients from the UK itself seeking treatment at BACC has gone up by four times in the last one year.
Dr.Kamini Rao in trying to anticipate future developments in the field of Reproductive Medicine acknowledges that, “ The hardest thing is to predict where we are headed ”. She believes that, “ We are going to see a lot of activity in Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis ”. By taking one or two cells from the eight cell embryo, fluorescent in-situ hybridization (FISH) probes or similar molecular biology techniques can be used to screen for disorders such as cystic fibrosis or Duchenne muscular dystrophy. This would be a revolution in the field of genetics. Both the scientific community and the general public alike, are enthusiastically confident that one day the field will revolutionize the treatment of certain diseases like Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Dr.Kamini Rao aims to be in the forefront with cutting edge technology in the field of research. It is in this regard that she has set up a laboratory for biochemical and metabolic screening of the new born, where she plans to carry out research in the field of Stem Cells and Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis. However, at the same time, Dr.Kamini Rao advises caution, “ Researchers who work in these areas need to be very responsible and work within ethical boundaries, with the knowledge of what is right and what is wrong for mankind ” she emphasizes.
