Pre-implantation Genetic Testing (PGT) is an advanced technology available at Amma Hospital & IVF Centre that helps couples reduce the risk of genetic or chromosomal problems before pregnancy even begins. During IVF, embryos are carefully grown in the lab and a tiny sample of cells is tested to check for abnormalities such as inherited diseases, missing or extra chromosomes, or genetic conditions that may affect the baby’s health. Only healthy and best-quality embryos are then selected for transfer, giving couples a higher chance of successful pregnancy, reducing the chances of miscarriage, and helping prevent serious genetic disorders. PGT is especially useful for couples with previous miscarriages, older maternal age, known family history of genetic problems, repeated IVF failures, or when they simply want more reassurance about the baby’s health. With experienced specialists, advanced lab facilities, and compassionate care, Amma Hospital & IVF Centre supports parents through every step — guiding, counselling, and providing safe, scientific, and trustworthy fertility solutions.
PGT is available in different forms depending on the couple’s needs. PGT-A helps detect chromosomal abnormalities, PGT-M helps identify single-gene disorders that run in families, and PGT-SR checks for structural changes in chromosomes. Our fertility team evaluates each couple’s history and suggests the right type of testing. This personalised approach allows us to design the safest and most effective fertility treatment plan for each couple. For many couples, the journey to parenthood may feel confusing or frightening — especially after miscarriages or failed treatments. At Amma Hospital & IVF Centre, counselling plays an important role along with technology. Our doctors clearly explain each step, clarify doubts, and support couples emotionally throughout the process. With transparency, ethical care, and modern genetic screening, we aim to give every couple the best opportunity to welcome a healthy baby into their family.
