Every fertility journey is different and Ferticentro team is well aware of that. They know how exhausting and emotionally draining a fertility treatment can be, that’s why they try to be a “safe harbour” to their patients and do everything in their power to smoothen the path. Thus, you can expect Ferticentro team to understand the clinical and emotional complexity of your case with high standards of respect, ethics and empathy.
Non-anonymous Egg Donation at Ferticentro in Portugal
Whether if you are a single woman, a heterosexual couple or a female homosexual couple you’re welcome to the clinic where IVF with own eggs or with donor eggs from non-anonymous donors is offered. This means that a child born from a donation treatment can have access to the identity of the donor as soon as he/she turns 18 years old. The donors are fully aware of the law and emotionally prepared to deal with the possibility of being contacted in the future.
Ferticentro has a highly qualified team of nearly 50 professionals, some of whom have been working in Medically Assisted Procreation since it started being practiced in Portugal. The Medical Director, Prof. Isabel Torgal, MD, is one of the most renowned and respected gynaecologists in Portugal.

Patient Care at Ferticentro
In 2021, due to the expansion of the clinic, Ferticentro opened a new clinic in the city centre. They have 2 operating theatres, 5 medical offices, a nursing office, 4 custom service rooms, 4 general offices, 4 patient bedrooms and a large laboratory. In 2009, Ferticentro was one of the first Portuguese ART clinics to receive the Quality Certification by NP EN ISO 9001, which has been renewed every year since then. The international patient team at Ferticentro is able to speak in 6 different languages (Portuguese, English, French, German, Dutch, and Spanish), and they have protocols with several international doctors and associations to assure you a more approachable and comfortable experience. Patients can also benefit from psychological support during their treatment at any moment. 24/7 assistance is available, just an email or a phone call away.
International patients benefit from:
- Advanced technology: The clinic employs advanced technology with the EmbryoScope®, a state-of-the-art incubator featuring time-lapse video technology. This allows for continuous monitoring of embryos in a controlled environment, boosting embryo survival rates and the accuracy of quality assessment through round-the-clock observation (9 sets of images every 15 minutes).
- Emotional support is at any stage of treatment.
- No waiting lists: There are no waiting times which is crucial in infertility treatments. Ferticentro’s patient care department, doctors and nurses, are prepared to schedule treatment as soon as possible.
- Convenient treatment options: Medication, tests, and visits can often be completed in patients’ home countries to reduce their stay abroad.
All costs will be clearly explained to you beforehand, and treatment information, as well as administrative support, are non-binding. If you’re based outside Portugal, you can receive a detailed treatment quote so you can examine it carefully before even travelling to Portugal. Many tests can be done in your home country and many drugs can be bought in your local pharmacy in order to minimize the length of your stay abroad.
