Tamil Nadu to Launch Siddha-Based Fertility Clinic
TN Govt to Start Siddha Fertility Services
Chennai: In a move to integrate traditional and modern healthcare, the Tamil Nadu Health Department will soon launch fertility clinics based on Siddha medicine on a pilot basis at the Government Siddha Hospital in Chennai. The initiative was announced by Health Minister Ma Subramanian during an event commemorating International Yoga Day.
The announcement comes in the wake of rising infertility rates and the growing demand for affordable, holistic, and accessible fertility care. Tamil Nadu has already established three allopathic fertility clinics in Chennai, Coimbatore, and Salem to address this public health challenge.

In addition to the fertility clinic initiative, the government is also reviving its efforts to establish a dedicated Siddha medical university. Although the Tamil Nadu Siddha Medical University Bill, 2022, was previously tabled in the legislative assembly, it was later withdrawn. The government has now announced plans to introduce fresh legislation aligned with the provisions of the National Commission for Indian System of Medicine Act.
