In vitro fertilisation (IVF)

In Switzerland today, 10 to 15% of couples have difficulties in conceiving a child. More than 1% of babies are the result of in vitro fertilisation (IVF).

When controlled sexual activity or intra-uterine inseminations have not resulted in pregnancy, or when they are not suitable, in vitro fertilization may be the recommended treatment.

Thanks to this treatment, we reproduce in the laboratory what happens naturally in the Fallopian tubes: fertilisation and the first steps of embryo development.
