    Hi is the price still the same can only one give me more info on this treatment?

  3. Comment by Dr. IVF

    the prices that mentioned are low cost prices compared to the rest of western world. in some places you pay more than 5000 u.s$ for IVF cycle.
    what about pricing to the rest of the procedures such as ICSI, IUI?

  4. Comment by admin

    Dr IVF,

    The prices for procedures such as ICSI and IUI will certainly be useful and it is something I am currently working on, so hopefully we will be able to share and compare those very soon.

    All the best,
    Sue

  29. Comment by admin

    Dr Nwaole,

    I have forwarded your enquiry to Sandton. I do not generally hear from this clinic so I am not sure if they send a reply direct to you. If you do not receive a reply then I know Nairobi IVF Centre can deal with this situation. You can contact Dr. Joshua Noreh at noreh@africaonine.co.ke.

    All the best,
    Sue

  36. Comment by caroline

    Hello I was referred to south Africa for ivf treatment. I have blocked tubes, abnormal levels of prolactin exceeding 200n/g and a pituitary gland tumor was detected through a CT Scan. Could you please provide me with all the necessary information required before I came there since I am a Zimbabwean citizen. Please send me a total cost of the whole cycle. If the process involve scans, blood tests just tell me the names I can have them done here so that I can lower my bill since ivf is expensive. I also have a Zimbabwean medical aid (Cimas private package) which contribute a certain percentage to foreign treatment do you accept it? What happens if the cycle fails? Will I repeat for free or pay for the next cycle.
