Fertility Tourism

IVF Guide collaborates with Frontier Legal to connect fertility seeking couples with world-class fertility clinics in Bangkok, Thailand. Combining low cost IVF treatments with fully accredited hospitals and doctors to make Bangkok an the ideal destination for fertility tourism.

Fertility tourism is the practice of traveling to another country for fertility treatments and is normally regarded as a specialized form of medical tourism. Couples travel abroad for fertility treatments for many different reasons, including lower prices, better quality of healthcare, shorter wait time, and a higher success rate. By far, In vitro fertilization (IVF) is the most prominent reason for couples to seek treatment abroad and mostly due to the higher success rate and lower costs.

The only previous study into fertility treatment abroad was conducted in 2008 by patient support group Infertility Network UK (IN UK) and surveyed more than 300 fertility patients, some of whom had already received foreign services. More than three quarters of respondents said that they would consider treatment abroad, with lower costs and shorter waiting times being cited as deciding factors. 

Dr Allan Pacey, secretary of the British Fertility Society (BFS) also estimates that thousands of women travel abroad for treatment every year because of frustration with waiting times for donated gametes. Professor Culley believes that couples who go abroad are able to exploit the fact that in some countries women can be paid to donate their eggs. 

Of the 24 per cent in the IN UK survey who said they would not consider going abroad to be treated, language difficulties and a lack of regulation were the main concerns. However, those respondents who had already been treated abroad said that in addition to lower cost and speedier treatment, high success rates, staff attitudes and the atmosphere and facilities in clinics abroad were the main attractions; 88 per cent were happy with the treatment they received.

Couples choosing Thailand as their destination for IVF treatment are attracted to Thailand’s world-class health facilities, affordable healthcare, proven success rate, and an opportunity to travel to beautiful white sandy beaches to recover. The recent trend in medical tourism has attracted a lot of attention on major procedures such as cardiovascular and cosmetic surgery, with fertility tourism increasingly on the rise fertility. Partly fueled by international travels being less complex and cooperating governments realizing the economic trend of healthcare abroad.

The underlying factor for many American couples the glaring health insurance trend where anything related to fertility is limited in coverage. The costs of medical treatment has spiraled out of control in recent years, making most procedures so expensive that without medical insurance covering a majority of the cost, most couples are faced with either taking out high interest loans or seek other alternatives to grow their family.

The reasons behind the low cost of fertility treatments in Thailand? The lower cost of labor, malpractice, insurance and administration equate to doctors focusing on providing high quality healthcare and not paying out astronomical fees as seen in the US.  Doctors in Thailand are normally educated, trained, and certified western countries, such as the US, UK, and Australia, and have chosen to return to Thailand to practice in world-class facilities.  These facilities in Thailand have acquired accreditation from well-known international organizations such as JCI, JCAHO and ISO to express the dedication to conforming to international standards of healthcare and excellence.
