Iran is the top country in the field of fertility treatment in the Middle East and one of the most developed in the world. Thanks to the country’s religious leaders’ approval of the assisted reproductive technologies and the government’s social and population policies during the last decades, Iran has made giant progress in fertility treatments.

In the past, Iranian couples suffering from infertility problems had to travel abroad to receive treatment, but today Iran has become a hot destination for infertile men and women from other countries. The reasonable costs of fertility procedures in Iran compared with the exorbitant prices in some other countries, as well as the high quality of such services in the country are the key reasons for the popularity of fertility treatments in Iran.

Iran currently enjoys more than 70 specialized fertility centers that offer various services to couples who cannot have a child on their own — including infertility diagnosis, expert genetic consultation, and different treatments such as IVF, for instance. With its remarkable advance in IVF since the first baby was born in the country in 1988 through this technology, Iran has been drawing couples from all around the Middle East, and even countries as far as Australia and Indonesia.

Fertility clinics in Iran

More than 70 health ministry-accredited fertility clinics and centers are operating in Iran. Iranian fertility centers are either affiliated to hospitals or other research institutions. Fertility clinics in Tehran, Mashhad, Yazd, Isfahan, Shiraz, Tabriz, and other cities of Iran are prepared to provide services to couples from all around the world and create the pleasant experience of having a baby for them.

Fertility treatments offered at Iranian fertility centers include IVF, IVM, IMSI, ICSI, IUI, microscopic testicular sperm extraction (TESE), ovulation induction, PGD, PGS, egg donation, sperm donation, embryo donation, surrogacy, PCOS treatment, etc.

A practical point for your care

Before an operation, the pre-assessment team should review your health, previous tests and all medicines and supplements. Ask for written instructions on medicines, eating, drinking and aftercare that apply to your planned procedure.^[1]
