IVF SAFARIS

Message from Tertia of ‘Nurture’ (they organise IVF treatment with donor eggs or surrogacy in South Africa). Below is a piece that she has written about the benefits of going to South Africa for treatment and the IVF costs and IVF success rates:

Medical care in South Africa is at par with the best care in the world. Our doctors and their support staff are of the highest quality and our success rates are proof. Our clinics are getting over 65% success rates per attempt for their DE IVFs. And that is not a doctored number, it’s the real deal.
But here is the real winner – not only is the care excellent, but it is damn cheap too! The cost of a DE IVF is a fraction of what you would pay for in America or Europe. So, you could come on a two week IVF Safari to South Africa and the entire trip, including your flights, accommodation, lion spotting AND the IVF costs will still come to less that it would cost you do an IVF at home. Amazing huh!
South Africa is the most amazing country. Not only do we have the best looking people here (myself included of course), but we have so much to do for the tourist. Wine farms, game drives, the best beaches, amazing scenery. And of course, it helps that you get about a billion South African Rands to one dollar. Well, maybe not a billion, but it does make it very affordable for foreign tourists.
So, come to South Africa for your IVF treatment. Bring extra space in your case and room in your womb, hopefully both will be filled when you return home again!

FERTILITY TOURISM AND SOUTH AFRICA IVF

One of South Africa’s great exports is its doctors, testament to the high quality medical education that exists. Canada, Australia, and the UK all have over 2200 South African physicians who currently practice there. Cape Town, South Africa was the home of the world’s first open heart transplant, and South Africa now has a thriving business in cosmetic, dental, and fertility tourism.
With an amazing destination, high quality medical care with success rates rivaling the best anywhere, and costs that are incredibly reasonable by North American and European standards, fertility tourism is rapidly growing here. South Africa offers IVF and IVF with egg donation. As a destination for egg donation, South Africa is hard to beat as the ethnic makeup and donor selection is very deep. As South Africa has seen significant immigration from the UK, Holland, France, India, and other countries, one can find a vast pool of donors to meet your needs.
