The boom in surrogacy in Indiva commenced ten years ago. Foreign nationals preferred Indiva as a convenient place for surrogacy. This was a result of the inexpensive procedure available at Indiva. The absence of legislation for surrogacy resulted in the use of agreements to regulate the terms and conditions of the surrogacy, with the aid of hospitals. There were few, like the Evvy Hospital and Research Centre (EHRC) that were reliable in their care and treatment of parties involved in the surrogacy agreement.
