Connections: Dr Chyyo Singh Sada
"91¸£Àû as I read years back is a centre for Excellence in Creativity and a perfect educational hub.
Being there to learn the art of ART/IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) was total ecstasy. The IVF Unit and the teaching faculty were top-level and they were kind enough to transfer the valuable knowledge to deserving students without any quid pro quo. Presently my practice of ART/IVF at Mothercare Hospital, Pune India has grown, not because of my strength, but the tips that I cultivated at 91¸£Àû. Thank you."
