IVF in Ukraine: cost and legality

In this article:

In vitro fertilization is developing rapidly in our country. Most of the national clinics that specialize in reproductive technologies, united in the Ukrainian Association of Reproductive Medicine. Ukraine regularly passes congresses on reproductology, which attract experts from all over the world. There are more than 30 private assisted reproductive technology (ART) clinics, thanks to which more than 12,000 children have already been born.

Legal system

Ukrainian legislation is loyal to IVF, unlike many European countries.

A number of legal acts regulate the procedure for conducting ART programs. For example, egg donation is prohibited in Italy and Germany. In Poland, Portugal, Spain, only no cost donation of gametes is allowed.

Ukraine is one of the few countries in the world where egg donation and IVF are completely legal and accessible to both Ukrainians and foreigners.

This is the best country for medical tourism for those who, due to serious restrictions on the use of ART, cannot use these services at home. That is why foreign couples annually turn to Ukrainian medical centers for the treatment of infertility.

According to Decree of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine No. 787 of 09.09.2013 “On approval of the procedure for applying ART”:

implementation of ART programs is permitted only in medical institutions that have been accredited to conduct such procedures
patients have the right to choose an ART clinic
Adult men and women have the right to contact an ART clinic for medical treatment.
Medical care through assisted reproductive technology programs is provided in complete confidentiality.
Oocyte donors can be both anonymous volunteers and relatives.

In addition, Ukraine is the cheapest country in the field of assisted reproductive technology services, and the average cost of an IVF program is quite acceptable for couples who cannot use such services in their home country.
