GARDEN ROUTE NEWS - Four prospective mothers received in vitro fertilisation (IVF) at the first ever fertility clinic in the Garden Route last week.
The George Fertility Clinic is operated from a procedure room at the George Surgical Centre where all the procedures are carried out. It features a fully equipped IVF laboratory where the first embryos are currently being monitored in an incubator until they are ready for transfer.
Sub-specialists from the collaborating fertility clinics in this project, Aevitas in Cape Town and Fembryo in Gqeberha, will visit George every two months on a rotational basis to carry out "batch" treatments where groups of women are scheduled.
