Dr Indira Hinduja – India’s First Test Tube Baby Doctor
डा इंदिरा हिंदुजा - पहली महिला टेस्ट ट्यूब बेबी डाक्टर
6 अगस्त 1986 को भारत में पहली टेस्ट टय़ूब बेबी (पहली या दूसरी यह हमेशा विवादस्पद रहेगा ) हर्षा के जन्म का श्रेय डा इंदिरा हिंदुजा के नाम है पर वो पहली महिला डाक्टर थी जिन्होंने इस कारनामे को अंजाम दिया था । इंदिरा आहूजा ने जिस दौर में टेस्ट टय़ूब बेबी को उत्पन्न किया, उस दौरान विकसित देशों के लिए भी यह प्रयोग आसान नहीं था। उनके इस काम से देश के हजारों निसंतान दम्पतियो को एक आशा की किरण नजर आने लगी थी. | टेस्ट ट्यूब बेबी की तकनीक को इन-विट्रो फर्टिलाइजेशन (आईवीएफ) कहते हैं।
यहाँ यह बताना भी जरूरी है कि कोलकाता में रहने वाले डॉक्टर सुभाष मुखोपाध्याय ने वर्ष 1978 में 3 अक्टूबर को (विश्व की पहली टेस्ट ट्यूब बेबी लुईस के जन्म के सिर्फ 67 दिन बाद ) भारत की प्रथम टेस्ट-ट्यूब बेबी और दुनिया की दूसरी टेस्ट-ट्यूब बेबी 'दुर्गा' को सफलतापूर्वक अस्तित्व में लाये थे , लेकिन उनका यह हैरतअंगेज कारनामा पश्चिम बंगाल की सरकार को उस समय कतई रास नहीं आया था। इस टेस्ट-ट्यूब बेबी के जन्म लेते ही डा. मुखोपाध्याय की यह उपलब्धि नैतिक विवादों में घिर गई थी। पश्चिम बंगाल सरकार ने तो डा. मुखोपाध्याय के इस दावे को मानने से साफ इनकार कर दिया कि उन्होंने इस उपलब्धि के जरिए भारत में इतिहास रच दिया है। यही नहीं, डा. मुखोपाध्याय को इसके चलते सामाजिक बहिष्कार जैसी स्थिति का भी सामना करना पड़ा। उस समय भारत सरकार का रुख भी सही नहीं था क्योंकि उसने डा. मुखोपाध्याय को अंतरराष्ट्रीय सम्मेलनों में भाग लेने की इजाजत नहीं दी थी। ऐसे में तंग आकर डा. मुखोपाध्याय ने वर्ष 1981 में 19 जून को आत्महत्या कर ली।
लेकिन फिर भी डा इंदिरा हिंदुजा के काम को कम करके नहीं आँका जा सकता | एक तो डाक्टर सुभाष के काम को इस तारिख के बाद ही मान्यता मिल पाई थी दूसरे वो ऐसे काम करनी वाली पहली महिला थी |
Dr Indira Hinduja – India’s First Test Tube Baby female Doctor
On August 6th 1986 , Dr Indira Hinduja has created what perhaps is the biggest gift for childless couples — India’s first test-tube baby, Harsha Chevda. What she started in 1986, has led today to a plethora of invitro fertilisation (IVF) clinics across Mumbai. But Dr Indira Hinduja, who first made it all happen, has rightfully earned herself a place in Indian medical history. Most cannot forget that sense of wonder when they heard about the birth of Harsha. For Dr Hinduja, it was a culmination of a three-year-long painstaking research in IVF and embryo transfer. Dr Hinduja has successfully delivered more than 1244 test-tube babies in India.
Other ground breaking techniques in her name are the Gamete Intra Fallopian Transfer (GIFT) technique (first birth in 1988) and an oocyte donation technique for menopausal women and premature ovarian failure patients (first birth in 1991).
Dr.Indira Hinduja was born at Shikarpur, (Pakistan) and during the Partition, her family migrated to Mumbai. Indira was only a few months old then.
After living in Belgaum for some years, they moved back to Mumbai in 1963. And ever since, it’s been her home. She studied in Mahila Vidyalaya Belgaum and stayed near Kelkar bag (this is from sources). During her childhood she was unsure of what she wanted to do. She decided to take up medicine when she was in high school. Earlier, she wanted to be a musician. Medicine was decision that came after much thought.
Dr Indira Hinduja is an MD in Gynecology and Obstetrics and she was awarded a Ph D degree for her thesis entitled Human In vitro Fertilisation and Embryo Transfer from Bombay University when she was a full-time practicing obstetrician and gynecologist on the clinical faculty of the Seth G.S. Medical College and King Edward Memorial Hospital, Mumbai. This significant contribution lies in combining her basic successful surgical skills with those of experimental embryology, endocrinology and cell biology, which led to the first ever, scientifically documented ‘test-tube baby’ in the country on August 6, 1986. This creditable achievement was the result of the collaborated efforts of the KEM Hospital and Institute for Research in Reproduction (ICMR).
She is also credited for developing an acolyte donation technique for menopausal and premature ovarian failure patients, giving the country’s first baby out of this technique on January 24, 1991.
For her outstanding performances, she has been felicitated on many occasions. She is the recipient of many awards— Young Indian Award (1987), Outstanding Lady Citizen of Maharashtra State Jaycee Award (1987), Bharat Nirman Award for Talented Ladies (1994), International Women’s Day Award by the mayor of Mumbai (1995; 2000), Lifetime Achievement Award by Federation of Obstetrics and Gynaecological Society of India (1999) and Dhanvantari Award by the governor of Maharashtra (2000) are a few.
