About Gynolife IVF Center

Gynolife IVF Center was established in 2013 by Dr. Hayat Izel. Housed in a modern building designed with patient comfort in mind, the clinic features a clean, calming interior dominated by white tones to help you feel at ease.

The facility includes an advanced IVF laboratory and an operating theatre, ensuring that every step of your treatment is performed in a controlled, state-of-the-art medical environment. Patients can also enjoy 15 private recovery rooms, offering both single and double en-suite options for maximum comfort and privacy.

Gynolife holds the largest donor database in Cyprus, with no waiting list for donor selection. Thanks to this extensive and diverse pool—including a wide range of races and ethnicities—donors can be closely matched to you and your partner.

The clinic enforces stricter donor criteria than most to ensure the highest quality eggs and sperm, maximizing your chances of success. In Cyprus, egg and sperm donors remain anonymous. Gynolife’s donor requirements include:

  • Age: Donors are selected between 21 and 29 years old to ensure full reproductive maturity and optimal fertility.

  • Testing: Comprehensive screenings for infectious and genetic diseases are conducted, along with psychiatric evaluations to confirm donors understand and consent responsibly.

  • Family History: Donors’ medical histories are carefully reviewed to exclude hereditary illnesses or genetic defects, reducing risks for future offspring.

These rigorous standards ensure that the donor eggs and sperm used in your IVF treatment are of the highest quality, giving you the best possible chance for a successful pregnancy.
