CDSCO Tightens Regulations on IVF Consumables and Clinic License Renewals
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) has mandated that IVF consumables be supplied only to clinics registered under the ART and Surrogacy (Regulation) Acts, aiming to enhance patient safety and curb illegal practices. Additionally, assisted reproductive technology and surrogacy clinics must renew their registrations online every three to five years, with fees doubling for late applications. These measures seek to improve regulatory oversight, facility standards, and accountability across fertility services in India.
