1、 Medical expenses
The medical expenses of overseas IVF babies are usually more expensive than those of domestic IVF babies. This is mainly because the medical level and technology abroad are more advanced, the medical equipment is more advanced, and the training and professional knowledge of doctors and nurses are more abundant. In foreign countries, the whole process of IVF usually requires multiple medical consultations, multiple physical examinations, and multiple tubal examinations and egg collection, which are very expensive. The medical cost of IVF in China is relatively low, because the domestic medical system and equipment generally lag behind that of foreign countries.
In the United States, for example, the cost of a complete IVF process is usually more than 30000 US dollars, which does not include the possible drug costs and subsequent perinatal care costs. In China, the cost of the same process is about 100000 yuan, which is relatively low. Therefore, from the perspective of medical expenses, overseas IVF is more expensive.
In addition, it should be noted that the costs of different countries and hospitals vary greatly, even in the same country, the costs may vary greatly. Therefore, when selecting overseas IVF babies, we should understand and compare various costs in order to make the most economical and reasonable choice.
2、 Travel expenses
In addition to medical expenses, overseas IVF also needs to consider travel expenses. From home to abroad, it is necessary to purchase air tickets, apply for visas, book hotels, etc. These costs are also a considerable expense. In addition, the IVF process usually requires multiple trips to overseas hospitals, and each trip requires transportation costs, which also increases the total cost of the entire IVF process. With the continuous improvement of medical equipment and technical level of IVF in China, more and more domestic hospitals can also carry out IVF, which can save travel costs.
3、 Time cost
Time cost is also an important consideration for overseas IVF compared with domestic IVF. Due to the need to travel overseas for many times, it may take several days or even weeks each time, and the time cost of the whole process will be relatively high. However, the time cost of IVF in China is relatively low, because it does not require long travel and stay, and it is more convenient for consultation, physical examination and surgery.
4、 Security and privacy protection
In the process of overseas IVF, personal privacy and medical information need to be provided to overseas hospitals and relevant institutions. This involves the security and privacy protection of personal information. Although overseas hospitals usually have certain privacy protection measures, there may be risks in transnational transmission and management, and the risk of personal information leakage is relatively high. However, if IVF is carried out in China, personal information can be protected more safely, and international transmission and management will not be involved.
To sum up, the cost of overseas IVF is usually higher than that of domestic IVF, mainly including medical expenses, travel expenses, time costs, security and privacy protection and other factors. Therefore, when choosing IVF babies, we should consider our own economic strength, time arrangement, personal preferences and other factors, and make the most appropriate choice on the basis of consulting doctors.
