Mumbai (By Jyoti Shelar/ Mumbai Mirror) : In a first,
Maharashtra has got its own set of guidelines to regulate surrogacy in the
state. A twomember team comprising top gynaecologists, appointed by the
Maharashtra Medical Council (MMC), has formulated state-specific surrogacy
guidelines and the draft was submitted to the council for scrutiny last week.
The team comprises
eminent gynaecologist Dr Sanjay Gupte from Pune and gynaecologist Dr Bipin
Pandit from Mumbai. The decision to form the guidelines was triggered in April,
after the Foreign Regional Registration Office (FRRO) pulled up city's top
three surrogacy clinics for flouting visa norms related to couples seeking
surrogacy.
