1 in 5 couples currently struggle from infertility problems. Infertility refers to the inability of a couple to conceive a child after a prolonged period of time. Fortunately, there are a number of fertility treatments men and women can undergo to help them conceive. The problem, however, is that infertility treatment can be expensive and emotionally exhausting.
As a result of the high costs and difficulty of infertility treatments such as In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF), more people are finding that medical tourism is a valuable solution. Barcelona, in particular, has become a major destination for patients seeking IVF treatment. In Barcelona, patients are met with some of the world’s best health care practitioners as well as an exceptional vacation.
Why not undergo IVF treatment in conjunction with a vacation?
IVF treatment in Barcelona has become increasingly popular in recent years due to the affordable costs, the high standards of health care, and Spain’s lenient infertility treatment policies. And Spain’s rich culture as a driving force goes without saying.
Spain has become a major country for medical tourism in addition to hosting the third most international tourists in the world (behind the United States and France). Located on the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern Europe, Spain has an ideal climate for lying on the beaches in the summer or skiing and hiking the mountains in the winter. The Mediterranean diet, the late night dancing, and the architectural beauties are only a minute portion of the attractions Spain has to offer. It is a short plane ride from major cities in Western Europe and many east coast cities in the U.S. have direct flights to Spain’s large cities like Madrid and Barcelona.
What about Spain’s health care?
The quality of healthcare in Spain is one of the best in Europe. In fact, the World Health Organization (WHO) ranked Spain as having the seventh best healthcare system in Europe in 2009. Spain is unique in providing low cost of living with a high standard of living, which converts directly to high quality healthcare at low costs.
Regarding infertility treatment, Spain’s cities are particularly attractive because of the options available to patients. Some countries, such as Italy, have strict regulation on fertility treatments and do not allow egg donation. In Spain, egg donation is facilitated by the fact that women are guaranteed anonymity and receive a compensation for their donation. Women can receive up to $1,500 for one round of egg donations in Spain. Women in the UK may only receive $300. Consequently, there is a shortage of available eggs in the UK and the fact that women are not guaranteed anonymity further adds to the problem.
Clinics like Barcelona IVF receive large numbers of international patients every year. Staffed with a team of English-speaking professionals who specialize in IVF treatments, Barcelona IVF offers an array of treatments with the most advanced medical technology. At Barcelona IVF, you can learn about intracervical insemination, embryo and egg freezing, as well as fertility drugs. Patients routinely find that their doctors at Barcelona IVF understand the emotional hardships of infertility and provide support through every step of treatment.
SO why not save money on IVF treatment and enjoy yourself while you’re at it?
