Best Surrogacy Centres in Visakhapatnam: Quick Answer
Visakhapatnam (Vizag) is the fertility hub for north coastal Andhra, and couples come in from Srikakulam, Vizianagaram, the Godavari districts and southern Odisha. The city had one of the state's earliest IVF clinics: Krishna IVF, whose first IVF babies were born in 1997. These five publish enough to compare.

How We Scored Visakhapatnam’s Centres
We use the same five measures for every city. Each point comes from something the centre publishes on its own website, or from the national ART registry list. Group-wide figures (for example, a chain’s total pregnancies) count one band lower than figures for the centre itself or its lead doctor, so a big chain does not win on size alone. We do not accept payment for placement.

Before You Choose a Surrogacy Centre in Visakhapatnam
Most of these clinics sit within a few kilometres of each other around Ram Nagar, Siripuram and Waltair Uplands, so you can see two in one day. Only Krishna IVF lists surrogacy locally (Iswarya covers it on its group website), so ask every centre plainly whether it runs altruistic surrogacy itself or refers you elsewhere.
- Check the centre’s ART registration and ask for its separate surrogacy clinic registration.
- Ask what its success rate measures (pregnancy test, pregnancy per transfer or live birth) and for which year.
- Ask how many surrogacy cases it has completed, not just IVF cycles.
- Get a written, itemised quote and ask which hospital handles the delivery.

Frequently asked questions
Which is the best surrogacy centre in Visakhapatnam?
On our published scoring, Oasis Fertility – Waltair Uplands scores highest in Visakhapatnam (58/100). A large chain with two Vizag branches and a senior regional head; its 69% figure has no stated measure.
How many of these Visakhapatnam centres are registered at Level 2?
5 of the 5 centres are listed at Level 2 on the national ART registry list we use. Surrogacy needs a separate registration, so ask each centre for it.
How much does surrogacy cost at these Visakhapatnam centres?
A complete altruistic surrogacy journey costs about ₹18–24 lakh, based on our estimates for these centres. Always ask for a written, itemised quote.
Are these success rates verified?
No. They are what each centre reports on its own website, and they measure different things. We score how clearly a centre explains its figure rather than the number itself.
Why does a big chain rank below a local clinic?
Group-wide numbers count one band lower than a centre’s own figures, and centres lose points when they publish no surrogacy service or no success rate. Size alone does not decide the rank.
