IVF Treatment in India for Patients from Mauritius

Hoping to start a family is one of the most personal journeys a person can take.

And when that journey becomes difficult, the waiting, the uncertainty, the unanswered questions, can feel overwhelming. At MedProject, we’ve walked alongside hundreds of patients from Mauritius who found themselves exactly there, looking for answers regarding fertility treatment and not knowing where to start.

If you’re based in Mauritius and exploring IVF treatment in India, you’re not alone. Thousands of patients from Mauritius and across Africa travel to India every year for fertility treatment, and MedProject helps them navigate every step of that journey, from the first medical opinion to the final follow-up.

This guide covers everything you need to know: why India, which hospitals, what it costs, how the visa works, and what happens when you arrive.

Why Do Patients from Mauritius Travel to India for IVF?

The honest answer is a combination of quality, access, and cost.

IVF treatment in Mauritius is limited in availability and significantly more expensive than in India. Indian fertility clinics, particularly those in Delhi NCR, Mumbai, and Bengaluru, use the same technology, the same protocols, and in many cases the same internationally trained specialists you’d find in Europe or the UK, at 50 to 70 percent lower cost.

Medical tourism in India has grown significantly over the last decade precisely because of this combination. World-class care at a fraction of the price, with shorter waiting times and dedicated international patient support built in.

Beyond cost, the waiting times in India are dramatically shorter. When you’re going through fertility treatment, time matters in a way it rarely does elsewhere. India’s leading IVF hospitals can often schedule your first consultation within days of receiving your reports.

According to the Indian Society of Assisted Reproduction (ISAR), India has over 2,000 registered IVF centres, making it one of the largest fertility treatment ecosystems in the world.

And then there’s the support. MedProject assigns every patient a personal coordinator who manages your entire journey from Mauritius to India and back. You are never figuring this out alone.

What Is IVF and Who Is It For?

IVF, or In Vitro Fertilisation, is a fertility treatment where eggs are retrieved from the ovaries, fertilised with sperm in a laboratory, and the resulting embryo is transferred to the uterus.

It’s recommended for patients dealing with:

• Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes
• Low sperm count or motility issues
• Unexplained infertility
• Endometriosis
• Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
• Recurrent pregnancy loss
• Age-related fertility decline

India’s top fertility hospitals offer the full range of assisted reproductive technology, including IVF, ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection), IUI, egg freezing, embryo freezing, donor egg programmes, and surrogacy consultation where legally applicable.

IVF Success Rates in India

Success rates vary based on age, diagnosis, and clinic, but India’s leading ART clinics consistently report IVF success rates of 50 to 65 percent per cycle for women under 35. For women between 35 and 40, rates typically range from 35 to 50 percent per cycle.

These numbers are comparable to top fertility clinics in the UK and US, at a fraction of the price.

The International Federation of Fertility Societies (IFFS) recognises India as one of the most accessible destinations globally for assisted reproductive technology, citing both clinical quality and affordability as key factors.

What matters just as much as the headline number is the clinic’s approach to your specific case. That’s why MedProject always arranges a specialist consultation and a personalised treatment plan before any decision is made. You’ll know exactly what to expect before you travel.

Cost of IVF Treatment in India for Patients from Mauritius

This is one of the most common questions we receive, and we believe in being transparent about it from the start.

A single IVF cycle in India typically costs between INR 1,20,000 and INR 2,00,000 (approximately MUR 55,000 to MUR 92,000), depending on the hospital, the specialist, and the specific protocol recommended for your case.

When you compare this to the cost of IVF in Mauritius or a referral to South Africa or France, the savings are significant, often enough to cover your flights, accommodation, and two cycles for the price of one elsewhere.

MedProject provides a full cost estimate before you travel, covering treatment, accommodation near the hospital, and any additional support you need. No hidden figures. No surprises.

The Medical Visa Process for IVF Patients from Mauritius

To travel to India for IVF treatment, you’ll need a Medical Visa (M Visa). If your partner is travelling with you, they can apply for a Medical Attendant Visa (MX Visa).
