New techniques for in-vitro fertilization
The in-vitro fertilization sector of Shaare Zedek Medical Centre in Jerusalem uses a new technique to increase the rate of successful implantation of healthy embryos in the womb, from 25% - using conventional methods to the significant 70%.
Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) uses an advanced technological process to identify genetic defects in the embryo before it is implanted in the uterus. This allows couples who know they are carriers of specific genetic diseases to know with a high degree of certainty that their child will not be born with such a disease. Shaare Zedek is a national leader in this vital partnership between medical genetics and reproductive medicine.
One of Israel's leading in-vitro fertilization centres, Shaare Zedek is responsible for assisted reproduction services resulting in thousands of pregnancies for parents who would not have had this opportunity without the help of this technology. As a result, the number of parents seeking the In-Vitro Fertilization Sector at Shaare Zedek grows steadily.
