Turning a small town in India into a globally leading centre for surrogacy and IVF, and with patients from across the world, Dr. Nayana Patel presents the uncommon path she took in her journey as a medical professional.
Like any other practice done differently, the idea and implementation of commercial surrogacy were met with criticism and judgments of many. However, the positive outcomes outweighed the criticism.
In her own words when she first embarked upon these endeavors, "It is unusual, but it is possible". Dr. Nayana Patel, the Medical Director of Akanksha Infertility Clinic, is one of the most worldwide renowned professionals in the field of IVF and Surrogacy. She has been assisting individuals as an IVF specialist since 1991 and enriching their lives with unparalleled happiness in the form of children. Dr. Patel's initial surrogacy case was Asia's first and the world's fifth example of a surrogate grandma.
Completing her MBBS with five gold medals, beginning her career in 1991 in a tiny hamlet in Gujarat, being recognized and honored by over 20 prestigious organizations till now, and appearing in Oprah Winfrey's talk show, Dr. Nayana's achievements and her never-ending efforts to make a change goes on.
Despite all of the criticism on the grounds of commercial surrogacy, Dr. Patel has remained dedicated to her true motto "Patient To Parent" and therefore "Broken The Archetype"! This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
