For the first time, In Vitro will be performed in the state and for free

The in vitro service will be made available in state hospitals free of charge.

In the Koço Gliozheni Maternity Hospital, the Assisted Reproduction Center is being established, the first in public health structures in Albania.

Initially, it will provide service to 100 couples per year.

The whole process will be carried out in it. From therapies to insemination.

"The in-vitro reproduction program is foreseen in the 2023 state budget to provide optimal quality and conditions for those patients who will become parents thanks to the assisted reproduction procedure. "Koço Gliozheni" maternity hospital is one of our structures that will be the first to implement this program. A program, which will then be extended to the "Queen Geraldine" Maternity Hospital, but of course we need to not only have the necessary infrastructure and equipment, but also to have the staff, which requires a specialization and requires training and education in the future in terms of these techniques, which we want to implement in the "Koço Gliozheni" Maternity and then continue in the "Queen Geraldine" Maternity - said Minister Manastirliu.

"We are focused on increasing the staff now, while we have added two biologists to the staff. We have the opportunity to continue training and in terms of obstetrician-gynecologists and anesthetists, the nurses who will also work in this center and we will have the opportunity to start with 100 cases in the first year and then increase the number of cases, as well as we want and have designed it. This will be an investment, which will continue because the support in terms of the therapies that are carried out following this procedure, will be financed from the state budget - said Minister Manastirliu.
