Irish fertility clinic,
Sims IVF has opened a new facility in Cork today.
The opening of the clinic at Citygate, Mahon is a natural response to demand from couples in the Munster region, says Dr. David Walsh, co-founder and Medical Director of Sims IVF.
Statistics from the World Health Organisation show that one in five people in Ireland have fertility issues. The new facility, which is the first permanent Sims IVF facility outside of Dublin, is expected to treat up to 300 couples a year. Treatments include IVF, sperm donation, donor egg treatment, reproductive immunology, and EEVA, the Early Embryo Viability Assessment test.
The Sims IVF team believe that by introducing new technology, testing and treatment regimes for people in Cork and surrounding counties, they can help resolve some of the more difficult cases. The clinic specialises in helping patients who have already had IVF treatment at other clinics and been unsuccessful, with 45% of its patients having already had treatment elsewhere.
