International medical service provides more convenience to the patients

To have better medical
service than home country, medical tourism has become a more popular word. For
example, Asian patients with cancer or cardiovascular diseases would go to Japan
or other developed countries for the advanced treatments. In the realm of
reproductive medicine, the condition for patients who need donated oocytes is different.
Since the law restricted the oocyte donation in Japan, patients must find a
solution overseas.
The assisted reproductive technology
has been developed around one decade in Taiwan. In 2007, the oocyte donation was
allowed in Taiwan by the authority decree, and the oocyte cryopreservation for
social reason as well. For patients with authorized marriage certificate, they
can take the oocyte-donation program if the
wife's ovarian reserve displayed significant diminished, because taking more
IVF cycles seems inefficient.
Not many countries in Asia allow oocyte donation, such as Japan,
China (including Hong Kong and Macau), Singapore, and Philippines. Thus more
and more overseas patients came to Taiwan for the oocyte donation program. To
provide more information to the patients who needs donated oocytes, the Stork
Fertility Center held an orientation in Fukuota, Japan, on 6th,
November, 2016.
Until 2016, Seventy-five fertility centers in Taiwan provides the
oocyte donation program. Among them, the Stork Fertility Center had our own oocyte
bank, which can be immediately used after appropriate matching process. The
majority of oocyte recipients were from mainland China, including Hong Kong and
Macau, and the second was from Japan.
The first orientation was held in the Grand Hyatt Hotel of Fukuota,
since most Japanese patients were from there. In the future, the orientation
would be held in Tokyo (April, 2017) and Osaka (August, 2017). By the
interactions with the audience, we can understand the patients' real needs and
expectations.
The past records of Stork Fertility Center showed that half of
patients can achieve successful pregnancy after the first cryotransfer, and
around 90% of patients can achieve successful pregnancy after the second cryotransfer.
The oldest case was a 62-year old woman.
After the orientation, the team also had a birthday party for the
patients' IVF babies. The superintendent of Stork Fertility Center, Dr.Lai, said
that," our goal is to help the couples who need baby to start a family, no
matter how difficult it is."
