The Czech Republic is one of the world leaders in the field of assisted reproduction (IVF - in vitro fertilization). Thousands of couples undergo artificial insemination here every year, not only residents of the Czech Republic but also from abroad. The country has gained an excellent reputation thanks to the top level of clinics, high success rate of treatment and favourable legislative conditions. What are the main reasons why the Czech Republic is considered one of the IVF superpowers?
Top clinics and experts
There are dozens of specialised assisted reproduction clinics in the Czech Republic offering the most modern methods of infertility treatment. Czech doctors are highly qualified and many of them have experience of working abroad. Thanks to constant research and innovation, Czech clinics are able to offer top-quality care at the level of the most advanced countries.
High success rate of IVF cycles
The success rate of IVF in the Czech Republic is among the highest in Europe. Modern laboratory procedures, high-quality embryology laboratories and an individual approach to each patient work in harmony to increase the chances of getting pregnant. Many clinics report a success rate of IVF cycles between 50-70%, which is comparable to the best centres in the world.
Favourable legislation
Czech laws allow wide availability of infertility treatment. For example, unlike some other countries, there are no strict restrictions on egg and sperm donation, which allows sufficient availability of quality donated reproductive cells. In the Czech Republic, women up to the age of 49 can undergo IVF and anonymous donation is legal.
Financial availability
The cost of IVF in the Czech Republic is lower than in Western Europe or the USA, without affecting the quality of care. This makes the Czech Republic an attractive destination for international couples looking for affordable but high-quality treatment.
Support for research and innovation
The Czech Republic actively invests in reproductive medicine research. Clinics cooperate with scientific institutions and continuously develop new methods, for example in the field of pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD/PGT) or optimisation of hormonal stimulation. This gives patients access to the latest and most effective treatment methods.
Quality care and an individual approach
Czech IVF clinics place great emphasis on an individual approach for every patient. Each couple has the opportunity to consult a treatment plan and receives detailed information about the treatment process; many clinics can even provide psychological support. This comprehensive care not only increases the success rate of treatment, but also the overall satisfaction of patients.
Attractiveness for global patients
Every year thousands of foreign couples come to the Czech Republic for IVF treatment. The main reasons are the high quality of care, availability of donor programmes, lower costs and discretion. In addition, the Czech Republic is geographically easily accessible to patients from all over Europe, which simplifies the logistics associated with treatment.
