SMC Heart Institute and IVF Research Centre brings together two specialities rarely found under the same roof: heart care and fertility treatment. The pairing makes more sense than it first appears. More women are having children later in life, often after fertility treatment, and some carry heart risks into pregnancy, so having cardiologists and high-risk obstetric specialists in one building can help.
The hospital is on Vidhan Sabha Road in Raipur, near Ashoka Ratan and opposite the BSNL office. It began in 2018, and its operating company was incorporated in 2017.
It is now also known as SMC Super Speciality Hospital. It is a 50-bed multi-speciality hospital with a cardiac catheterisation lab, a heart station and heart command centre, and departments covering cardiology, high-risk obstetrics, gynaecology, neurology, neurosurgery, orthopaedics, nephrology, urology, and gastroenterology. It is open around the clock.

Heart and IVF Under One Roof: Why the Pairing Makes Sense
Heart disease and pregnancy overlap more than many people realise:
- Older mothers: Many women having IVF are in their late 30s or 40s, when high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart conditions become more common.
- Heart strain in pregnancy: Blood volume rises sharply in pregnancy, which puts extra load on the heart. Women with existing heart disease need careful monitoring.
- Pregnancy complications: Conditions like pre-eclampsia and gestational diabetes affect a woman’s heart health during pregnancy and later in life.
- Rare heart problems in pregnancy: Such as peripartum cardiomyopathy, a weakening of the heart around the time of delivery, which needs quick recognition.
Having cardiology and high-risk obstetrics in the same hospital means these patients can be assessed and treated by both teams together. This approach is sometimes called cardio-obstetrics.
A Young Hospital on Vidhan Sabha Road
The company behind the hospital, SMC Heart Institute and IVF Research Centre Private Limited, was incorporated in July 2017, and the hospital began serving patients in 2018. Its directors are listed as Satish Chainsingh Suryavanshi and Pragya Suryavanshi. Dr. Satish Suryavanshi is a cardiologist associated with the hospital.
Patient reviews have mentioned the hospital as a lower-cost option for heart care, including bypass surgery (CABG), in Chhattisgarh.
Location: Vidhan Sabha Road, Raipur

Cardiac Services
- Cardiac catheterisation lab (cath lab): For coronary angiography to find blockages and angioplasty with stenting to open them, including during heart attacks

- Heart surgery: Patient reviews mention bypass surgery (CABG)
- Intensive care: For heart attack and heart failure patients
Heart attack warning signs: chest pain or pressure, pain spreading to the arm, jaw, or back, breathlessness, sweating, or nausea. If you notice these, call 112 or the hospital immediately.
Fertility and High-Risk Pregnancy Care
As its name suggests, the hospital runs an IVF and fertility service along with high-risk obstetric care:
- Fertility evaluation for both partners
- Assisted reproduction, including IVF-based treatments
- High-risk pregnancy management for women with heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, twins, or previous complications
- Gynaecology for menstrual problems, fibroids, cysts, and other conditions
Before starting IVF:
- Get your heart and blood pressure checked if you’re over 35 or have risk factors.
- Control diabetes, thyroid problems, and weight before treatment.
- Ask about realistic success rates for your age and diagnosis.
- Know the law: IVF clinics in India must be registered under the ART (Regulation) Act, 2021.
