North America’s leading medical tourism company Passport Medical has recently expanded its repertoire of low-cost, high-quality medical vacations with the introduction of its IVF Vacation Center devoted to helping infertile couples and singles achieve their dream of parenthood with affordable IVF.  IVF Vacation Center organizes fertility vacations and specializes in in-vitro fertilization (IVF), egg donation, and surrogacy abroad saving couples up to 80% in internationally accredited hospitals and clinics in vacation destinations. 

Infertility is defined as the inability to get pregnant after one year through normal means.  It is estimated that 7 – 9% of the population suffers from infertility.  With societal changes and women often waiting longer to conceive, pregnancy through normal means is also diminished as age is a definitive factor in infertility.  In addition, artificial reproduction as it is called is also an option for same-sex couples who have a whole new world of possibilities for parenthood that weren’t available a generation ago.

Unfortunately, fertility procedures can be very costly and out of the reach of many.  The average cost for in-vitro fertilization after medication is now $18,000 in the U.S.  For IVF with egg donation, the cost averages over $35,000 and commercial egg donation is not allowed in Canada, so Canadian women are already looking for options.  Surrogacy, where another woman carries a baby due to health or other reasons, can easily be over $120,000 in the U.S. and, again, not allowed in Canada.
