Antalya IVF
Antalya IVF established in 2000, has from its inception strived to provide its local and international patients with a world-class assisted reproductive technology service. The twins, Özlem and Özgür, were the 1st babies born from IVF treatment at Antalya IVF and were also the 1st from an IVF centre in south-western Turkey. The care and effort provided by all involved to assist in their successful conception were fundamental to the establishment of our fertility treatment philosophy. A philosophy that continues today to guide our clinicians, scientists, and nurses in their practices and approaches in assisting our patient-couples to conceive successfully.
At Antalya IVF, our ultimate goal is the safe delivery of a healthy baby and to continue with you on your journey until the goal is realized.
Ass Prof Dr Kemal Özgür, founder and current Clinical Director of Antalya IVF, after qualifying as a doctor in Turkey received specialist training in assisted reproductive technology treatment in both South Africa and the United States of America. Under his expert guidance Antalya IVF has grown from performing 200 cycles of IVF treatment in the year 2000 to more than 2000 IVF treatments in 2012. Today Antalya IVF occupies a modern dedicated facility using state-of-the-art technology to provide IVF treatments to both local and international patient-couples. Through the years he has been joined by highly qualified and experienced clinical specialists who together with him provide patient-couples with a comprehensive assisted reproductive technology service.

Our philosophy
At Antalya IVF, we are all focussed on providing assisted fertility care that is respectful of and responsive to individual patient preferences, needs, and values, based on the following four principles of patient-centred fertility care.
Patient-friendly treatment
At Antalya IVF, we are aware that patient-couples undergoing fertility treatment experience physical and emotional stresses and risks. Therefore, the treatment plan for each patient couple is jointly designed to reduce these stresses and risks. At Antalya IVF, we perform IVF treatment by freezing all embryos in one cycle and transferring embryos in another, besides increasing the success of treatment this reduces the risks that include hyperstimulation syndrome, ectopic pregnancy, and ovarian torsion
Patient-informed treatment
At Antalya IVF, we believe that being fully informed is a basic right for all patient-couples undergoing fertility treatment. Therefore, your treatment plan will include a communication plan detailing how (verbally or electronically), when, and what (appointments and treatment records) information will be provided to you (including internet services such as email, whatsapp, and or patient-login to the Antalya IVF website).
Patient-effective and secure treatment
At Antalya IVF, we employ only techniques and procedures that potentially provide our patient-couples with the greatest chance of success. In addition, the Patient Management System we have developed uses technologies that ensure that our patients and the samples (blood) and cells (eggs and sperm) they provide are protected and used in a secure manner to effect their treatment success.
Evidence-based approach
At Antalya IVF, we follow an evidence-based and ethical approach to fertility treatment through active involvement in research and participation in international journals and congresses on fertility, with only scientifically and or clinically validated and patient-centered procedures and techniques applied in our fertility treatments.
Our active involvement in the publication of scientific research in international peer-review publications is a measure of our commitment to service excellence.
