Hope for Couples Suffering from Infertility and Subfertility
Status
Korea has become a beacon of "hope" to infertile or subfertile couples around the world.
Korea is home to one of the top five global fertility centers and has achieved an excellent
rate of success for pregnancy and childbirth of high-risk mothers, not to mention infertility
treatments. Hospitals in Korea provide customized treatments and services by accurately
identifying the cause of each patient’s subfertility; and they protect the lives of newly
born babies with state-of-the-art medical systems, including fetal intensive care units for
newborns in critical condition.
Strength
Korea's infertility and subfertility treatment success rates are at an astonishing
level achieving 45 to 50% pregnancy success. Korea is unmatched in terms of price
competitiveness as well, with IVF treatments costing one-sixth the price of treatments in
the US. Furthermore, Korean hospitals introduced a time-lapse system, which observes
and records the entire embryo development process and selects the best embryo in order
to induce a healthy pregnancy.

Medical Field
Infertility and subfertility treatments are mainly divided into
artificial fertilization and in vitro fertilization (IVF), where an
egg is combined with the sperm in vitro and returned to the
woman's womb. IVF is an innovative solution for treating
infertility.
