Fertility Without Borders: Seeking Treatment Abroad

Guest: Dr. Rima Rajkhowa MD FRCOG

In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Rima Rajkhowa MD FRCOG, Consultant Gynaecologist and Medical Director of Gynaecology and Fertility Services at The Medical Travel Company. With over 25 years’ experience leading fertility and assisted conception services across the NHS and private sector, Dr. Rajkhowa brings valuable insight into the growing trend of patients travelling abroad for fertility treatment.

We explore what’s driving this shift, the challenges and opportunities it presents, and what patients need to know before making such an important decision. Dr. Rajkhowa also highlights how waiting lists, rising costs, and cultural considerations—particularly within South Asian and ethnic communities—are shaping people’s choices and experiences.

Tune in to learn:

· Why patients are looking overseas for fertility care

· What to consider when choosing a clinic abroad

· The steps involved in working with an international provider

· The benefits and challenges of using donors

A must-listen for anyone navigating fertility treatment or supporting someone on their journey.
