Cyprus IVF Hospital is a private fertility clinic in Famagusta, North Cyprus. Founded in 2008 as part of Cyprus Central Hospital, it focuses on assisted reproduction and full-cycle fertility care.
Accreditations and Professional Recognition
The facility was the first private hospital in North Cyprus to earn ISO 9001 certification. It also holds ISO 27001 for information security and follows ESHRE standards. The European Fertility Society awarded the clinic its Patient-Centred Care Clinic Certificate.
Several awards highlight the quality of patient experience:
- Fertility Care Award for Outstanding Patient Experience
- Best Fertility Patient Care Assistant Award
- EFS Patient-Centred Care Clinic Programme (PCCCP) recognition
These honors reflect the clinic's focus on emotional and psychological support during treatment.
Fertility Treatments and Success Rates
The hospital offers diverse assisted reproduction pathways, including donor programs and reciprocal IVF. Success rates are tracked across treatment categories based on recent clinical data. Embryo donation shows success rates up to 91%, while egg donation reaches up to 86%.
Standard IVF-ICSI procedures report success rates up to 68%. With genetic screening, the clinic reports a 72% average success rate across all age groups. Specialized programs include ROPA for same-sex female couples and Tandem IVF, which combines patient and donor eggs.
Dr. Serap Kagan leads the medical team as Medical Director and IVF Specialist. She was the first certified female IVF specialist in North Cyprus. Dr. Kagan trained at Ankara University and has around 30 years of experience in reproductive medicine.
The reproductology department provides surgical and non-surgical interventions:
- Hysteroscopy and laparoscopy for diagnosis and treatment
- Hysterosalpingography (HSG) to check tubal patency
- TESA – sperm retrieval for male factor infertility
- Vasectomy reversal and assisted hatching
- Endometrial scratch to improve implantation
Each treatment plan is coordinated remotely before the patient arrives. This minimizes travel time.
Laboratory Technologies and Equipment
The embryology lab uses advanced technologies to improve embryo selection and culture outcomes. The MIRI Time-Lapse Incubator monitors embryos continuously without disturbing their environment. ZyMōt microfluidic technology selects the most viable sperm cells.
For detailed male fertility assessment, the clinic uses CASA – a computer-assisted sperm analyzer. The lab also offers IMSI, which uses high-magnification microscopy to select sperm with optimal morphology. Genetic testing includes PGT-A to identify chromosomally healthy embryos before transfer.
Additional laboratory options support implantation and early pregnancy:
- Embryo Glue – a transfer medium containing hyaluronan
- Intralipid Serum – used to regulate the immune system
- AI-supported embryo assessment for objective selection
These tools are part of the standard laboratory workflow to improve pregnancy chances.
International Patient Services
The hospital runs a structured program for international patients. Remote coordination begins with a video call with the medical team and patient coordinators. Patients can submit blood tests and records from the past three months, so they don't need to repeat diagnostics.
Services include airport transfers and help with local accommodation. Three flexible lodging options suit different patient needs. Coordinators manage all logistics so patients can focus entirely on their treatment.
