With one in six couples worldwide affected by infertility, it is no surprise to learn that Barbados has its own In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) unit.
What is surprising, however, is that the success rates at the Barbados Fertility Centre are better than the national averages for both the UK and the USA and that treatment here is also a third of the cost! |
Barbados Fertility Centre specializes in all aspects of infertility management with a dedicated team of doctors, nurses and embryologists hailing from Barbados, the UK and Ireland. This year the Joint Commission International (JCI), the US health facility accreditation programme that sets health care industry standards, awarded the gold seal of approval to the Barbados Fertility Centre. This gives patients assurance in the medical establishments that they choose for treatment. They conduct stringent tests to ensure that healthcare offered across the world is transparent and that patients can make an informed choice within a level playing field.
Barbados Fertility Centre were tested for their patient's pain assessment & management, the risk assessment prior to treatments and medical procedures, the storage and handling of hazardous materials, the regular inspection and maintenance of equipment, the clear identification of job descriptions and of medical staff credentials.
The accreditation process was considered by Barbados Fertility Centre to be essential in improving the quality of care given to their patients, and that by investing in new quality measurement systems, resources and staff training they are providing the best treatment for continued high success rates in IVF cycles. These quality standards also ensure continuous improvement as they will be monitored and reaccredited.
The centre has a diversity of patients whose age's range from 26 - 46 years old. There are many different causes of infertility and Barbados Fertility Centre tailors treatments to meet the needs of their patients.
Barbados Fertility Centre also has a unique approach, which combines rest and relaxation, holistic therapy and medical tradition.
Although the medical treatment remains paramount, the team actively create an environment of optimum 'stress reduction', which is synonymous with Barbadian life and which maximizes the chances of success.
When surrounded by turquoise sea, dazzling white sandy beaches and exquisite tropical weather, couples are forced to unwind, which creates an ideal environment for stress-free IVF.
The tranquil environment coupled with a state of the art new unit comprising an operating theatre, a 4-bed recovery suite, an onsite laboratory, ultra sound rooms and consulting rooms, gives Barbados the cutting edge over having IVF treatment anywhere else in the world.
Barbados Fertility Centre strives for excellence and works tirelessly to make advances in infertility treatment and to increase a patient's probability of success.
