Fertility Care for Couples from Silchar & the Barak Valley

Couples in the Barak Valley face a particular kind of frustration with specialised care. The valley is home, but it sits tucked behind the hills, and advanced treatment often means looking beyond Silchar. Fertility care has long been one of those areas. If you’ve been quietly worrying about whether good IVF is even within reach from here, let us be honest and clear with you — because being in the Barak Valley does not put parenthood out of reach.

Honest help for Barak Valley couples

We’ll be straight rather than oversell. Advanced IVF needs a specialised embryology laboratory, and ours is at our main centre in Guwahati. So for couples from Silchar, Cachar, Karimganj and Hailakandi, accessing IVF does mean travelling to Guwahati for the key steps — there’s no point pretending otherwise. What we can promise is to make that journey as smooth and well-planned as possible: clear guidance before you travel, a treatment plan organised around as few trips as we can manage, and a team that understands what it takes for a Barak Valley family to do this.

Your options for advanced fertility care

For couples from the Barak Valley, the path generally takes one of these honest shapes:

• Start with what’s local where you can. Some initial steps — basic tests, an ultrasound, a semen analysis — may be done with a trusted local doctor in Silchar and shared with our team to plan ahead.
• Travel to Guwahati for the specialised treatment. The specialist consultation and the lab steps (egg retrieval, embryo transfer) happen at our Guwahati centre, and with good planning these can often be organised into a small number of focused trips.
• Stay coordinated remotely between visits. Much can be handled by phone and video — reviewing reports, answering questions, planning the next step — so you’re not travelling just to talk.

Getting to Guwahati from the Barak Valley

This is where honesty genuinely helps you plan. By road, Silchar to Guwahati is around 300 km, but it winds through the hills and typically takes 8 to 10 tiring hours. That’s why most Barak Valley families don’t drive — they fly. Daily flights from Silchar’s Kumbhirgram airport reach Guwahati in about 45 minutes to an hour, and fares are often very reasonable when booked a few weeks ahead. So when you plan your treatment trips, think flight, not highway — a morning flight gets you to Guwahati with the day still ahead of you, which matters when you’re already managing the ups and downs of treatment.

Treatments available through Janitva

With the lab work done in Guwahati, Barak Valley couples can access the full range of care:

• IVF and ICSI
• IUI
• Egg, embryo and semen freezing (including fertility preservation before cancer treatment)
• Hysteroscopy and related procedures
• PCOS care, male-factor treatment, recurrent-miscarriage care, and donor programmes

Janitva is govt-approved and registered under the ART (Regulation) Act, and has cared for couples across the region since 2016 — over 1,000 babies delivered to date. [Use your verified figure.]

Led by Dr. Arpita Sarmah

Your care would be led by Dr. Arpita Sarmah, Founder and Chief Consultant at Janitva IVF — MBBS, a postgraduate degree in Obstetrics & Gynaecology, and a Fellowship in ART. Having one experienced doctor oversee your whole journey matters especially when you’re travelling in, because the plan is coordinated tightly around you and your trips.

What it costs, including travel

Treatment follows our Guwahati pricing — a standard IVF cycle typically runs ₹1.25–1.75 lakh, with ICSI, medicines and add-ons changing the total (see the full picture in our guide to what IVF costs). For Barak Valley couples, build in the real extras too: flights to and from Guwahati for the treatment steps, and a few nights’ stay around retrieval and transfer. Being upfront about this from the start helps you plan properly rather than meeting costs one surprise at a time.

Take the first step from Silchar

You don’t have to commit to anything to start — the first step is just a conversation, and it can begin with a phone or video consultation so your first trip to Guwahati is only when it’s genuinely needed. Gather any reports you already have so we can advise you from the first call. You can also read more about your fertility options from the Barak Valley.
