Kare Centre is Thrissur's ISO 9001:2015 certified IVF and fertility hospital — where every consultation is documented to protocol, every lab procedure follows a verified checklist, and the clean-room IVF laboratory never leaves the building. Chaired by Dr. Krishnan Kutty.
"Every protocol documented. Every outcome tracked. That is what a certified standard means in practice."
9001:2015 certified — every consultation documented, every protocol independently verified.
Clean-room IVF laboratory inside Kare Centre. No outsourcing, no handover, no gap in control.
ART pathways — IVF, ICSI, IUI, TESA, vitrification, donor programmes and surrogacy coordination.

Most fertility clinics claim quality. Kare Centre is one of the few that can prove it. ISO 9001:2015 is not a plaque on the wall — it is a live quality-management system that governs how every consultation is documented, every lab protocol is reviewed, and every outcome is tracked.
At the heart of Kare Centre is a modular, clean-room IVF laboratory that stays inside this building. Every retrieval, every fertilisation, every embryo transfer happens under conditions that are monitored, logged, and held to a standard that can be shown — not just described. There is no outsourcing, no partner lab, no handover.
The full ART toolkit is here — IVF, ICSI, IUI, TESA, vitrification, donor programmes, and surrogacy coordination — inside a quality system built specifically to protect the only outcome that matters: a healthy pregnancy.
From a single diagnostic visit to a multi-cycle ART programme — every plan is written, costed, and walked through with both partners. Alternatives are always named.
The complete cycle — controlled ovarian stimulation, monitored retrieval, embryology in our own lab, and transfer with sustained luteal support.
A single, carefully selected sperm placed directly into each egg under the microscope. IMSI adds high-magnification morphology selection.
A first, low-intervention step — washed and concentrated sperm placed in the uterus at the optimal hour of ovulation.
Day-care retrieval directly from the testis or epididymis when ejaculate is unavailable. Paired with ICSI.
Vitrification for fertility preservation — for medical reasons, for surplus embryos in a fresh cycle, or for life timing.
Coordinated donor-egg, donor-sperm and surrogacy cycles, with full counselling and regulatory adherence to the ART (Regulation) Act, India.
A complete diagnostic workup — hormone panel, ovarian-reserve assessment (AMH, AFC), tubal patency, semen analysis, and where indicated, hysteroscopy or laparoscopy.
Diagnostic and operative laparoscopy & hysteroscopy — endometriosis excision, fibroid management, tubal surgery, adhesiolysis. Day-care where possible.
Outsourcing embryology to a partner lab adds a handover — and every handover is a point where control of your cycle leaves the building. Our clean-room IVF laboratory is inside Kare Centre. The embryologist who handles your eggs and embryos works under the same roof, under the same ISO 9001:2015 quality system, as the clinician who leads your care.
No two paths are the same — but every path follows roughly this rhythm, and every step is something we walk together.
An unhurried visit. Your story, your history, your questions. Every detail is documented under the ISO 9001:2015 protocol — so the next visit picks up exactly where this one ends.
Hormone panel, ovarian-reserve markers (AMH, AFC), tubal patency studies, semen analysis. Imaging where needed. All results logged to your clinical file.
A written, costed plan walked through with both partners. Alternatives are named. The lowest-intervention path that still works is the one we begin with.
Whether IUI, IVF, ICSI or a day-care procedure — performed inside the Kare Centre clean-room lab, under the same quality system that governs every step of your care.
First-trimester scanning here. Then either continued shared-care through delivery, or warm handover to your chosen obstetrician with full, documented records.
A six-week visit. Sometimes a photograph for the wall. Sometimes a conversation about the next one.
Dr. Krishnan Kutty chairs Kare Centre on a conviction that most clinics treat as optional — that the quality of every fertility programme must be auditable, repeatable, and independently verified. ISO 9001:2015 is the proof: not a plaque on the wall, but a live quality-management system that governs how every consultation is documented, every protocol reviewed, and every result tracked.
The clean-room IVF laboratory at the heart of Kare Centre is not outsourced. It is inside this building. Every retrieval, every fertilisation, every embryo transfer happens under conditions that are monitored, logged, and held to a standard that can be shown — not just claimed.

We had been through two cycles at another clinic before coming to Kare Centre. What was different here was the transparency — every step was explained, every result was documented. We finally felt like we understood our own treatment.
The ISO certification seemed like a small thing before we arrived. After seeing how systematically every procedure is managed here, we understood why it matters. Our daughter is proof of what that standard means in practice.
Knowing the embryology happens inside the same building — that no part of our cycle is handed to someone we haven't met — was the thing that made us choose Kare Centre. That and the fact that they could show us the lab.
Every visit was unhurried. Every question was answered. The documentation they gave us after each appointment was more thorough than anything we had received at any clinic before.
If your question isn't here, it deserves a longer reply than a webpage. Please call us — or book a first visit and we will spend the time.
From the first day of stimulation to the pregnancy test is about four to six weeks. Add two to three weeks before that for the planning visit and any baseline scans. We do not rush the preparation phase — it is the part of the cycle that most affects the outcome.
Success in IVF is meaningfully different for every couple — age, ovarian reserve, cause of infertility, sperm parameters and uterine factors all reset the number. Dr. Raghavan will walk you through realistic per-cycle and cumulative odds for your specific situation during the planning visit. We do not publish a single headline number because no headline number is honest.
Costs vary by treatment (IUI is the most affordable, IVF with ICSI sits in the middle, donor and surrogacy programmes are the most involved). We hand you a fully itemised, written estimate at your planning visit — no hidden additions later. Discussing money openly is part of the work; please ask.
Bring any prior reports — semen analyses, hormone tests, scans, prescriptions, operation notes. If your menstrual cycle is regular, we don't need a particular day; if it is irregular, please mention this when booking. Come together if possible. We meet both partners on the first visit.
Fertility treatment is not covered by most Indian health-insurance policies; a small number of corporate plans do include it — please bring your policy document and we will check coverage. We offer staged-payment plans for IVF and ART cycles. EMI through partnered card programmes is available.
Yes. The clinic is owner-doctor led by design. Every consultation, every retrieval, every transfer, every laparoscopy is performed and supervised by Dr. Raghavan personally. There is no rotating roster.
We sit down afterwards — not on the phone, in person — and review every step honestly. Sometimes the answer is to adjust the protocol and try again; sometimes it is to investigate further; sometimes it is to consider a different pathway altogether. The next step is always a shared decision.
Yes — a substantial part of our practice is patients from across Kerala, the Gulf, and South India. We coordinate visit clustering so most of the monitoring scans can happen in a focused 10 — 14 day window.
Share what feels relevant — we'll reach out within one working day to confirm a time. If something feels urgent, please call us directly: 0495 274 1816.
