Rajasthan Suspends IVF Centre Registrations Over Alleged Sex Selection Advertisement
Rajasthan's Health Department took action against Neelkanth Fertility and Women's Care Hospital after a newspaper advertisement featuring blue-coloured baby socks or a foetus was seen as promoting illegal sex selection. The State government suspended nine registration certificates of the hospital's assisted reproductive technology and surrogacy clinics across multiple cities. The action follows the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act, 2021, which prohibits sex selection, with authorities emphasizing strict compliance with the law.
