This new programme will allow patients to carry out IVF remotely.
The Institut Marquès will receive a frozen sperm sample from the male member of the couple and begin the fertilisation process.
The created embryos will then take a journey across Europe to be reunited with their ‘future parents.'
The results of this programme see a pregnancy rate of 64.6 percent by embryo transfer, with a live born baby rate of 52 percent.
The miscarriage rate is 12.6 percent and the multiple pregnancy rate has dropped to 0.9 percent.
Director of Institut Marquès, Dr Marisa López- Teijón, has called the results "amazing."
She said:
“These are amazing results, the outcome of many years of experience. "They are due both to the good rates we get with IVF, as well as to the use of the latest technologies that allow us to safely vitrify the embryos and send them to the patient’s country of origin so that she does not need to travel."Patients in the UK will not be able to benefit from this programme due to Britain's egg donation laws.
