With the operationalization of the Medically Assisted Fertilization service at the University Clinical Center of Kosovo, interest in this service is very high. Since the end of last year when this medical method was inaugurated, 255 consultations have been performed, while another 470 are pending.

This was announced by the head of the Infertility Department at the Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic, Leandrit Bejtullahu. He told KosovaPress that the waiting time for these checks is 5 to 7 days.

"There has been a lot of interest, which we have been waiting for... Initially, we are in the phase of selecting patients to see for whom the in vitro fertilization method is appropriate... So far, 255 consultations have been conducted and we have 470 with specific appointments, the waiting time is quite short, somewhere between 5 and 7 days, so there is no long wait. From these cases, those who qualify for the procedure must be selected, as there are certain criteria," he emphasized.

Gynecologist Bejtullahu has shown that with their own cells, the IVF process at UCCK can be performed on women up to the age of 42. Meanwhile, cases from 42 to 45 years old are treated through the second-degree commission.

The head of the IVF department at the Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic, Leandrit Bejtullahu, emphasized that for the first two cycles this service will be offered free of charge, while the third time will have a price of over 600 euros.

On December 24, 2024, the medically assisted reproduction service was inaugurated at UCCK.

At the beginning of October last year, the Minister of Health, Arben Vitia, announced that the medicines necessary for this medical procedure had been included in the List of Essential Medicines.
