Ashgabat Medical Center introduces embryo implantation
(wz) For the first time in Turkmenistan’s medical practice, doctors of Ene Myahri Mother and Child Health Care Center in Ashgabat have started extra-corporal (artificial) fertilization surgeries. Treatment of all forms of infertility is one of the specialization areas of the Center.
Leading German specialists from Dragon IVF International having expertise in training technical personnel for extra-corporal laboratories have visited the Center’s ECF Laboratory. In the interview to the correspondent of Turkmenistan.ru, reproductive embryologist Dr. Manuela Ropiter-Sharfenstein, telling about their work with the Turkmen colleagues, said:
“We are starting the second, main stage of our close and fruitful cooperation – practical realization of received skills. First, the Turkmen doctors attended a special training course in Göttingen, Germany, afterwards, we visited Turkmenistan. In March 2007, when we visited Ashgabat for the first time, our Turkmen colleagues successfully underwent the training on using the up-to-date equipment and started preliminary treatment of patients”.
According to Ms Manuela Ropiter-Sharfenstein, as of today, 35 couples are on a waiting list for the surgery.
“We are looking forward to the long-term cooperation with our Turkmen colleagues. We will support the laboratory in Ashgabat and do our best to maintain it”, the German specialist said expressing confidence Turkmenistan has big potential in developing reproductive medicine.
