About Cyprus IVF Hospital

Cyprus IVF Hospital first opened in 1995, although it operated under a different name, Famagusta Medical Centre Hospital, until 2017 when it changed the name. Upon obtaining their ISO 9001 certification, thanks to its excellence in care due to both the quality of treatment and the treatment itself, the clinic became the first in North Cyprus to hold this highly coveted certification.

Since March 2025, Cyprus IVF Hospital has become the exclusive IVF clinic at Cyprus Central Hospital by investing in a state-of-the-art embryology lab, andrology lab, and operating room. With this investment, they can now offer even more personalized and high-quality care to their patients.

Their new equipment includes:

• ESCO Time-Lapse Incubator (Embroscope) och ESCO-Miri Incubators—Den MIRI® Time-Lapse Incubator tracks embryo development with continuous real-time imaging, unlike traditional incubators that require manual checks. This technology helps embryologists choose the best embryos more accurately, leading to higher chances of implantation and pregnancy.

• Olympus Microscope with Hamilton Thorne Laser System: Ensures precise embryo handling for better success.

• Computer-Assisted Sperm Analyzer (CASA)—a cutting-edge system that combines high-resolution imaging and AI-driven algorithms to assess sperm quality with unparalleled precision. CASA ensures a comprehensive analysis in a single test with just one semen sample. It measures sperm concentration, motility, morphology and vitality. Unlike traditional methods, the CASA system provides visual reports with images and videos, provides detailed digital reports featuring high-resolution images and video recordings of your sperm sample. CASA ensures precision and consistency without human error. The system eliminates subjectivity and variability by automating the analysis process. High-resolution imaging ensures that every detail is accurately captured, reducing inconsistencies seen in traditional sperm testing.

All donors, for both eggs, embryos and sperm, are given check-ups and their family and medical history is taken, to ensure that the donors are the healthiest donors available, this way the clinic can ensure that all donations you receive will be of the highest quality to ensure higher success rates.

IVF Add-ons and Other Costs

IVF with Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT-A)

IVF with Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT-A) is an option for those seeking added genetic insight and control in their fertility journey. PGT is particularly recommended in the following cases:

• One partner has or is a carrier of a serious inherited disorder, helping to reduce the risk of transmission to the child
• A previous embryo presented chromosomal abnormalities, leading to early birth or miscarriage
• Multiple unsuccessful IVF cycles or recurrent miscarriages
• The female partner is over 35, as the risk of chromosomal abnormalities (aneuploidy) in embryos increases with age
• Genetic disorders linked to the embryo’s gender are a concern

PGT also provides the possibility of sex selection to prevent the inheritance of sex-linked genetic conditions like hemophilia, muscular dystrophy, and fragile-X syndrome. This allows couples to select female or unaffected male embryos, reducing the risk of passing on these disorders.

Patients can choose from various PGT-A options according to their needs:

• PGT-A 5 – chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X, Y – 2,000 euros
• PGT-A 5 – chromosomes 13, 16, 18, 21, 22 – 2,000 euros
• PGT-A 7 – chromosomes 13, 16, 18, 21, 22, X, Y – 2,500 euros
• PGT-A 9 – chromosomes 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 21, 22, X, Y – 2,750 euros
