San Raffaele Hospital performs 2,000+ IVF cycles annually as an IRCCS-accredited facility with ISO certification. Consultation with Dr. Rossella Biancardi, a reproductive medicine specialist, costs around $210-250 – covering initial assessment, treatment plan, and follow-up planning. The hospital pioneered world-first stem cell therapies and operates within Gruppo San Donato, Italy's leading hospital network. Gender selection is technically possible during IVF, though restricted under Italian law except for medical necessity.
