Cyprus as a medical destination for IVF attracts a lot of patients from all over the world due to different reasons. First of all, Cyprus has very favourable legislation system which allows all types of Infertility treatments, forbidden in a lot of countries such as gender selection, egg donation, treating single women and women over 50.

Finally, Cyprus clinics are not overcrowded with patients and Doctors are paying a lot attention and care to every single case of infertility.

What are the things couples should be careful about while choosing a clinic for egg donation?
Choosing a clinic for egg donation is not an easy thing to do. A couple should be very careful while deciding which clinic to go for an egg donor cycle. First of all clinic should be trustworthy, patient oriented and experienced. Patient should be not afraid to ask all the possible questions they might have, share their worries and doubts.
