What are the advantages of domestic IVF?
As an assisted reproductive technology, IVF has been widely used in China. After years of development, domestic IVF technology has made remarkable achievements, not only helping many infertile couples achieve their reproductive dreams, but also having many advantages to be recognized. This article will illustrate the advantages of domestic IVF from the aspects of medical level, medical expenses, legal protection and follow-up services, with specific examples.
1、 High medical level
Many hospitals in China have accumulated rich experience and advanced equipment in IVF technology. For example, the Reproductive Medicine Center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital is one of the first units to develop IVF technology in China. They have an experienced team, equipped with internationally leading assisted reproductive equipment, and used advanced technology for embryo culture and embryo selection, greatly improving the success rate of IVF. Similarly, the Reproductive Medicine Center of Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine is also one of the earliest hospitals in China to carry out IVF technology. They continue to introduce international advanced technology to improve the medical level.
In addition, the rapid development of IVF technology in China is also reflected in the research field. Many domestic hospitals and scientific research institutions have cooperated with internationally renowned reproductive medical institutions to jointly carry out cutting-edge research on IVF technology. This cooperation has promoted the introduction and innovation of technology, making the domestic IVF technology close to the international advanced level.
2、 Relatively low medical expenses
Compared with some developed countries abroad, the cost of IVF in China is relatively low. Take Beijing as an example. As a top hospital, Peking Union Medical College Hospital's IVF costs are also gradually declining. In addition, IVF services are provided by top three hospitals and some professional reproductive hospitals all over the country, with a wide range of options and relatively reasonable prices. In some foreign countries, the cost of IVF is much higher. Therefore, many couples who need IVF technology choose to treat in China.
In addition, some domestic maternity insurance also gradually carried out IVF insurance, providing certain cost subsidies for infertile couples. This gives more couples the opportunity to accept IVF technology and improves their fertility opportunities.
3、 Perfect legal protection
The Chinese government has made clear legal provisions on IVF technology, as well as the legality and protection of rights and interests of IVF. The Administrative Measures for Human Assisted Reproduction Technology issued in 2001 clearly stipulated the operation process, medical ethics, legal and moral requirements and other contents of IVF technology, and guaranteed the legitimacy and rights of IVF. In addition, the Civil Code promulgated in 2019 also clearly stipulates the legal status and protection of rights and interests of IVF.
The state's legal protection of IVF technology has ensured the legitimacy and rights of infertile couples during IVF treatment, and fully guaranteed the safety and legitimacy of the medical process.
4、 Follow up service improvement
Some domestic IVF hospitals attach great importance to the follow-up service of IVF. For example, in the Reproductive Medical Center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, they provide one-on-one dedicated doctors for patients, track the treatment process of patients throughout the process, and provide psychological counseling and counseling services. At the same time, the hospital also regularly organizes medical experts to carry out academic exchanges and sharing to ensure the technical level and service quality of doctors.
In addition, some IVF hospitals have also established rehabilitation centers to provide rehabilitation care and special rehabilitation services to help IVF patients recover as soon as possible and improve their quality of life.
Summary
To sum up, domestic IVF has the advantages of high medical level, relatively low medical costs, perfect legal protection and follow-up services. These advantages provide better fertility choices and guarantees for infertile couples, and make them more confident to realize their fertility dreams.
