IVF Destinations
About 20,000 to 25,000 couples annually seek assisted reproductive technology services abroad. Israel is the leading fertility tourism destination for In-vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures, having the highest number of fertility clinics per capita in the world. The United States is chosen by many Europeans because of the higher success rates and lenient regulations. In turn, India and other Asian countries are the main destinations for U.S. women leaving the country for their fertility care, being the destinations for 40% of U.S. women seeking IVF and 52% seeking IVF with donor eggs. Many travel from countries like Germany and Italy, which are very restrictive of the number of eggs that may be fertilized and how many embryos can be used for implantation or cryopreservation. Even small countries such as Barbados provide JCI-accredited IVF care aimed at patients from abroad.
