Cyprus IVF Hospital

Cyprus IVF Hospital is located in the city centre of Famagusta, North Cyprus and is a part of the largest private hospital in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. As a subsidiary of Cyprus Central Hospital, Cyprus IVF Hospital commenced offering services and treatment in 2008. The clinic was the first in North Cyprus to obtain International Organization for Standardization (ISO 9001) certification due to the service quality and treatment it provides to the patient.

In 2023, Cyprus IVF Hospital performed 475 treatment cycles (not including frozen embryo transfers) of which 304 cycles were egg donation and 171 were IVF with own eggs. The clinic accepts female patients up to the age of 55, however, patients who are 45+ need special permission with additional tests. The hospital is located in a building of 8,500 m², with a restaurant and gym, two laboratories, one operating theatre, and 50 ensuite double recovery rooms for patients. This shows how big and comfortable the clinic is.

North Cyprus has many IVF clinics and it is a big industry. However, only few of them have International Organization for Standardization (ISO) certification. The clinic holds ISO 9001. Cyprus IVF Hospital was the first to obtain this certification due to the service quality and treatment it provides to patients. Enhancing the medical team and equipment to more qualified and professional in parallel with the world IVF standards and technology improvement, Cyprus IVF Hospital has had a tremendous influence on the reproductive medicine domain.

Together with top medical care, the patients can benefit from a diverse donor network, various programs to help keep IVF costs down and excellent patient care.  In addition, their egg donation program is designed to serve patients from various countries and of various ethnicities, including those from Europe and the Middle East, Africa, and the USA. In the donor program, the goal is to match an infertile couple with healthy sperm and egg (oocyte) donor via the latest advancement in the field of assisted reproductive technology.

Since March 2025, Cyprus IVF Hospital is the only IVF clinic at Cyprus Central Hospital. They now have full control over their advanced embryology lab, andrology lab, and operating room, which allows them to provide even more personalized and high-quality care to their patients.

Their new equipment includes:

• ESCO Time-Lapse Incubator (Embroscope) and ESCO-Miri Incubators: The MIRI® Incubator tracks embryo development continuously without disturbing the embryos, unlike traditional incubators that need manual checks. This helps the doctors pick the best embryos with more accuracy, improving chances for pregnancy.

• Olympus Microscope with Hamilton Thorne Laser System: This ensures the embryos are handled with precision, helping to improve success rates.

• Computer-Assisted Sperm Analyzer (CASA): This advanced system uses high-resolution imaging and AI to assess sperm quality with great accuracy. CASA gives a complete analysis in just one test, measuring sperm concentration, movement, shape, and health. It also provides clear visual reports with images and videos, ensuring precision and reducing human error in the process.
