Treatments
IVF and IUI for single women in India
Quick answer
Single women can access fertility treatment in India: the ART Act, 2021 defines an eligible woman as any woman above 21 who approaches an ART clinic, with services provided below age 50. Treatment uses donor sperm from a registered Indian bank, through IUI or IVF. Importing donor sperm from abroad is not allowed.
