In an attempt to help couples maintain the routine of their lives, the Unit was established in a pleasant area, in comfortable surroundings, with maximal sensitivity to the patients’ medical and emotional needs. In this regard, HMC offers support in groups or on an individual basis at the Center itself.

The IVF technique was originally developed in order to overcome the mechanical problem of transferring the egg from the ovary to the uterine cavity in the case of blocked fallopian tubes. Today, this technique is also used to overcome additional problems connected to female and male fertility. The IVF Unit at the Medical Center is at the world forefront in the field, by using a range of modern technologies that help overcome problems that are connected to sperm quality or that impair the embryo’s chance for implantation in the uterine cavity.

Sperm Donation

Couples treated at the Unit who need a sperm donation will receive a sperm donation from one of the sperm banks, in accordance with government regulations. The Herzliya Medical Center Sperm Bank is one of the leading and most modern sperm banks in Israel. The Bank offers the largest repository in Israel, with the highest quality in its field, with a whole host of sperm donations – ranging from Israeli donors to sperm donations from overseas. Additionally, a genetic chip examination is offered, in which the potential donor’s genetic makeup is assessed. For these and many more reasons, the Herzliya Medical Center Sperm Bank is considered to be the right place to commence the process of sperm donation.

Egg Donation

The Unit provides egg donation services as needed. The Unit has achieved pregnancy rates approaching 45% per treatment cycle with donated eggs. Over the years, the birth rate from donated eggs that has been achieved at the Unit is one of the highest in the world.

Cryopreservation

Cryopreservation of embryos for future use. The clear advantage of cryopreservation is the ability to achieve pregnancy in future cycles, without the need for an expensive and uncomfortable cycle of egg retrieval. Cryopreservation of sperm enables treatment in instances where the man is not available, due to travel for example. More information about cryopreservation of embryos.
