IVF Riga Fertility Clinic

10/09/2025

❗We are excited to share a publication in the Swedish magazine "Amelia" - "Your path to parenthood - in Latvia" - about the possibilities of infertility treatment in Latvia, published with the assistance of the Latvian Health Tourism Cluster Health Travel Latvia 🤍

Indeed, many Swedish couples - and single women - choose Latvia as a priority destination to get help to become parents.✨

Why❓ Easy access, high international standards and wide treatment options, no age limits for IVF with donor eggs, shorter waiting times and personal care...
But the most important thing is that we use advanced technologies such as embryo genetic screening (PGT-A/PGT-M), which can increase the chances of a successful pregnancy - especially for women who have previously had miscarriages or failed IVF attempts.🧫🔬
We would also like to remind: iVF Riga clinic is the only clinic in Latvia that performs PGT-A/PGT-M on site, in own laboratory!✅

So, we look forward to seeing you - welcome to our clinic!🤍
