Ankur Healthcare Private Limited, India’s premier center for Andrology and Reproductive Medicine announces Asia’s first centre to offer University recognized post graduate courses in Andrology & Men’s Health and Reproductive Medicine. These courses are recognised by Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS).

The courses are for 18 months and are scheduled to begin in January 2011. Eligibility for Andrology course is MCh/DNB in Urology or MS in General Surgery. While for Reproductive Medicine it is MD/DNB in Obstetrics and Gynaecology. The cost of the course is Rs.20,000 and during the period there will be a stipend paid to the students.

Commenting on the courses, Dr. S S Vasan, Managing Director, Ankur Healthcare Private Limited said, “Andrology and Men’s health in general is a vast field of medicine which is in a very nascent stage in India. Today there are very few qualified professionals practicing Andrology. Our endeavour through these courses is to encourage more doctors to take up this profession as it offers tremendous potential.” “Infertility in India is a cause for concern. Research studies indicate there is a 50% increase in infertility in Urban India. It is important to have more qualified professionals both in Andrology (which focuses on male infertility) and Reproductive Medicine (female infertility),” added Dr. Vasan.

Ankur Healthcare Private Limited is a pioneer in innovative healthcare in Andrology, Men’s Health, Reproductive Medicine and NeuroUrology and Incontinence. The Hospital offers treatment for infertility tailor made to meet the needs of the individual so that a person is confident of receiving the most advanced and effective infertility treatment. Ankur has always been at the forefront to adopt cutting edge technologies, methods and procedures in Andrology and Reproductive Medicine.

The Hospital was founded by Dr. S S Vasan and Dr. Bina Vasan. Dr. Vasan is the first qualified Andrologist in India. He has pioneered Andrological diagnosis for male fertility problems. He has established the only comprehensive Andrology Laboratory in India at Ankur. Dr. Bina Vasan is the only clinician in India to have basic science and a medical degree which provides her unique insight in both clinical and laboratory management in Reproductive Medicine. She has worked extensively in polycystic ovaries and also in hormonal regulation in infertility.
