IVI Middle East Fertility Clinic gives a ray of hope to childless couples

-

MUSCAT: Cases of infertilit­y in both men and women are on the rise in Oman. A study conducted by UN has revealed that average birth rates have dropped from 5.23 children for each woman in 1980 through 1985, to 1.97 in the 20052010. The UN has also projected that this is expected to drop to 1.62 by 2025 through 2030 overall.

In addition, studies have shown that couples from Oman travelled to various parts of the world to seek medical assistance for IVF treatments. These couples travelled to countries like the UK which can cost RO 2,515, US where the costs can run anywhere from RO 6160.80 (including medication) but does not include genetics tests, frozen embryo transfer and storage of eggs and embryos and Saudi Arabia where the cost of the treatment is RO 2,502 upwards.

“Infertilit­y treatment is a time taking process which requires the couple to make frequent visits to their overseas doctor. The frequent visits for varied treatment stages can impact the couple emotionall­y, financiall­y and also physically as it also affects overall health. However, the set — up of IVI Middle East Fertility Clinic in Oman has addressed this challenge.
