Why not consider IVF/ICSI Treatment at a world class facility located in the heart of the new CBD of Johannesburg, Morningside, Sandton, South Africa where care is superior and costs lower than domestic treatment options. Donor Oocytes and Donor Sperm options are also available.
When Louise Joy Brown first arrived into the world on July 25, 1978, in Oldham, England, she didn't know it, but the techniques used in her birth would enable millions of childless couples across the world to have the babies they longed for; her birth forever changed people's lives. Louise was the world's first test tube baby. Today, 31 years after her birth, assisted reproductive technology has helped in the birth of over 3.5 million babies worldwide.
It is estimated that 1 in every 100 babies born now are IVF births. The high cost of health care in the United States and in some parts of Europe, coupled with the rising number of fertility specialists practicing outside the United States, and increasing numbers of doctors and nurses in distant places who now speak English, plus state-of-the-art medical facilities in countries like South Africa have all contributed to the growth of what is called reproductive tourism. Reproductive tourism, the practice of traveling to a different locale, even a different country, to undergo in-vitro fertilization, or other assisted reproductive technology treatments, is a rapidly growing industry.
Couples from all over the globe have been treated by VITALAB in South Africa, where in vitro fertilization treatments and other assistive reproductive treatments cost much less than they do at home. In vitro fertilization treatments that would cost up to USD 70,000 in the States can be performed at Vitalab in Johannesburg, South Africa for around USD 7000.00 excluding travel and accommodation, far less than it would cost in the United States. Reproductive tourism has made IVF and other assistive reproductive procedures affordable for many couples who would have no chance of receiving the treatments in their own countries.
Couples seeking help through reproductive tourism are cautioned to do their own due diligence before choosing a physician, a facility, or even a country; but doing the research has proven rewarding for many couples who now have a baby of their own; a baby they never thought they would ever be able to afford.
