If you plan to travel abroad for a better access to infertility treatment and recurrent miscarriage services, the IPD of our center provides the necessary arrangements for treatment affairs and expedites the procedure for the patients. Our interpreters accompany you at all the stages of treatment and therapeutic follow-ups, immediate response to inquiries and arrangements with your physicians are all their responsibilities. Fortunately, there is no waiting list for the foreign patients and in case of having a previous history or profile of your problem in other treatment centers; you can share them with our experts through email or other social networks to accelerate the procedure of your diagnosis and treatment. Our physicians evaluate them free of charge and if possible, in your own country, they may advise you to have several check-ups before coming to our center. Therefore, your stay in Iran and the frequencies of your visits would be minimized. IN our center, therapeutic protocols are similar for both foreign and in-house patients. However, the only different is the swift treatment cycles due to residency limitation for foreign patients’ stay in Iran. All the laboratory results, reports of treatments can be given to the patients for their own records.
