World Map of Infertility Treatment

Infertility, or the inability to conceive, is a very common disorder that can put couples and families in a difficult situation. Miscarriage and stillbirth are other forms of infertility that affect millions of people around the world. According to the available statistics, more than 80 million couples in the world are dealing with the issue of infertility, southern and eastern European countries have the lowest fertility rates, and one out of every four couples in developing countries is affected by infertility. The rate of infertility in men and women is almost equal. Artificial insemination inside or outside the body, in addition to drug treatment, is the most common infertility treatment technique in the world, which is more popular than other techniques because of its higher chance of curing infertility. In general, the cost of infertility treatment in the world is high and can range from 5,000 to 73,000 dollars. Artificial insemination outside the body is usually performed on the applicant for 2 cycles and the cost of this treatment can vary from 40 to 60 thousand dollars, usually 85% of this amount is paid by individuals and not by insurance companies. These high costs and sometimes cultural stereotypes and society's negative view of fertility outside of the natural routine make couples choose a country other than their own for fertility treatment. Treatment costs, the availability of clinics, the cheapness of travel, fertility laws, the success rate of treatment, especially among women over 40 years old, the ability to choose the sex of the child, and the existence of sperm or egg donation banks are some of the factors that people consider when choosing their infertility treatment destination.






Denmark is the most popular European country for infertility treatment


Currently, the best infertility treatment clinics in Europe are located in Germany, Spain, Poland and Northern Cyprus. "Denya" clinic is one of the most successful infertility treatment destinations in Europe and the world located in North Cyprus. This center ranks first among European visitors and ninth in the world. The reason for the popularity of Cyprus as a destination for infertility treatment is the performance of more than a thousand cases of artificial insemination outside the body per year, the over 80% success rate of this clinic and the use of 10 different techniques to increase the percentage of fertility success and create more opportunities such as the possibility of choosing the gender of the child. Cyprus has another successful infertility treatment clinic called Kyrenia, which is among the top 10 clinics in the world. Every year, 980 cases of artificial insemination or IVF are performed in this clinic.
Poland has become one of the top countries in the world for infertility treatment with famous infertility treatment clinics such as Ginsenterum. The chance of fertility in this clinic using the IVF technique is between 43 and 61%, and the option of choosing the sex of the baby will be possible only if there is a health requirement. This center performs more than a thousand IVFs every year and does not set age or marriage conditions for its clients. Also, the presence of the egg and sperm donation bank helps clients to get rid of waiting in long queues.
Spain, which is famous in the world in various fields of medicine, including organ transplantation, is also considered one of the famous destinations in Europe and the world in the field of infertility treatment. This country has more than 4 well-known and reputable infertility treatment clinics, of which Teknoon is one of them. This treatment clinic, similar to other successful centers, has a sperm and egg donation bank, and the treatment success rate is over 59%. Ukraine, Greece, Czech Republic, Hungary and Bulgaria are among the other world famous countries in the field of infertility treatment. In the meantime, Denmark hosts a large number of applicants, especially from the United States, every year, especially because of its wide social acceptance and liberal laws regarding infertility treatment, artificial insemination, and the use of assisted reproductive technologies. The rate of babies born in this country is very significant compared to a country the size of the United States. In the US, 1.7% of babies are born with the help of assisted reproductive technologies, while 8-10% of Danish babies are born this way. Also, Denmark has become one of the hubs of infertility treatment in Europe due to the fact that it is located near countries where many women face age restrictions for fertility treatment. For example, in Sweden, women after the age of 42 do not have access to infertility treatment, or the government does not cover the costs of this treatment in a group of women. But in Denmark, women have access to these treatments until the age of 46. On the other hand, the high rate of egg and sperm donation and the presence of one of the world's largest egg and sperm banks in this country means that people do not need to wait for fertilization.



Cheaper treatment in Asia

In addition to European countries, countries such as Russia, Turkey, South Korea and Malaysia also deal with many applicants from Europe and America, especially because the cost of treatment in these countries is lower than in European countries. In other words, the cost of IVF in Asia is about 3 to 4 times lower than the cost of this treatment in Europe. One of the most successful of these clinics, CHA, is located in South Korea and owes its popularity to a high rate of treatment success. Until 2019, more than 20 thousand couples applying for this clinic have had successful treatment. This clinic is considered the largest artificial insemination treatment center in Asia and even because of its technological approach in the diagnosis and treatment of infertility, it has become one of the poles of infertility treatment tourism in Asia. In addition to South Korea, this clinic also has branches in Japan and America.
Turkey is another country in the West Asian region that has well-equipped infertility treatment clinics. Most applicants for Turkish clinics are from the UAE, Turkmenistan and Kyrgyzstan. The success rate of treatment in the most famous infertility treatment clinic in Turkey, Medicana, is 44-72% and there is no age limit to receive all types of treatments in this clinic.
In Denmark, women have access to infertility treatments until the age of 46. On the other hand, the high rate of egg and sperm donation and the existence of one of the largest global egg and sperm banks in this country has made people not need to wait for fertilization.
