4,000 test-tube babies born over decade at hospital

Tu Du Hospital, Vietnam’s in vitro fertilization (IVF) pioneer, has given birth to 4,000 babies by this means for over 13 years, the hospital said yesterday.

Dr. Hoang Thi Diem Tuyet, deputy director of Tu Du released the statistics at the 14th anniversary of the hospital’s Unit of Reproduction Assistant.

With the best IVF treatment in Vietnam, Tu Du has constantly updated its technology and been able to achieve a success rate up to 40 percent, which is equal to the world’s success rate.

According to the Ministry of Health, 7-10 percent of Vietnam’s population is infertile, increasing the demand for IVF.

To date, 13 IVF centers have been established countrywide and have so far given birth to 9,000 babies.
