Recently, Ukraine has become one of the priority areas of reproductive tourism. This is due to the fact that advanced ART methods, in particular, surrogacy, are supported and regulated at the legislative level. Whereas, in most European countries, this method of treating infertility is generally prohibited.

Fertility treatments are expensive, regardless of country. And Great Britain is no exception. Though IVF is one of the most affordable and effective methods of finding the joy of fatherhood and motherhood, its cost is also significant.

We would like to inform you that military operations started in Ukraine on 24 February.  Troops of the Russian Federation have entered the territory of Ukraine.  Military forces of the Russian Federation are observed in a number of southern and eastern regions of Ukraine. There is destruction in some major cities. 

Feskov Human Reproductive Group team includes not only experienced doctors of all specializations, embryologists, laboratory assistants, nurses, administrators and managers, but also qualified lawyers who specialize in the field of surrogacy not only in Ukraine, but all over the world. 

The crisis COVID-19 has affected all areas of human activity. It did not bypass reproductive medicine, in particular surrogacy. In the spring of 2020, during quarantine, Ukraine found itself in the very epicenter of an international scandal related to this method of ART. 

Since surrogacy became legal as a method of fertility treatment in 2002, Ukraine has become a mecca for foreign couples with fertility problems who are desperate to find a surrogate mother. Demand rose sharply after India, Nepal and Thailand banned commercial services.

UK laws for egg donation allow exclusively non-commercial reporting and prohibit anonymity. Moreover, the legislation obliges parents to inform children who have reached the age of 18 of the circumstances of their birth and the full information about the donor at the first request. As a result, the number of offers declined sharply and demand rose, leading to shortages and lengthening the waiting lists for programs to several years. Even after several increases in recent years, compensation is less than a thousand pounds. Thus, the prices of egg donation in the UK are not determined by fee, but by the cost of accompanying medical procedures. The final amount is quite impressive, given the limited number of oocytes and IVF, which do not always become successful from the first attempts. 

Over the past few years, Ukraine has held the status of one of the leaders in the field of reproductive technologies. The level of ART is not inferior to the world leader - the United States, and prices are on average 5 times lower. Therefore, if you need an egg donor, Ukraine is an indisputable option. Indisputable thanks to guaranteed program «Egg donation» in the Ukrainian egg donors clinic  Feskov Human Reproduction Group.
