Established in 2011, our clinic is based on tradition, experience and continual education in the field of reproductive medicine. Our specialists have gained experience at the most reputable centres specialized in reproductive medicine, both in the Czech Republic and abroad. Thanks to our professional expertise, we have been able to build a modern centre which has precise technical equipment, sophisticated processes and effectively trained personnel. We hope that these solid foundations enable us to provide our clients not only with advanced care, but also with comfort and safety in a friendly environment.

We understand that going through the process of fertility treatment may be challenging and stressful. That is why we provide support for our patients throughout the entire process. Our treatment coordinators are happy to answer any question and discuss each and every doubt. To increase the comfort of our foreign patients, we make use of partner clinics and doctors abroad that provide our patients with satellite services before, during and after therapy.

We regularly participate in international clinical surveys and studies which contributes to the overall development of the field of assisted reproduction. We are happy to enable our patients to closely monitor the progress of their therapy, to get a deeper understanding of the laboratory processes and fully participate in every step and decision made throughout the duration of their journey to the desired goal. We conceived the clinic's equipment at IVF CUBE in such a way that every moment of this journey can be visually monitored – starting with the egg collection, their quality consideration, up to the cultivation of the embryo stage. Based on this strategy and vision, we endeavor to convey to our patients as much information as we can in regards to the infertility treatment, so that we can help ease the decision-making process, and contribute to the patients' peace of mind.

We believe that we can guide you towards a new life.

Accreditation

SUKL license for IVF CUBE

The State Institute for Drug Control (SUKL) in the Czech Republic control administrates surveillance over donation, purchase, examination, fabrication, storage and distribution of human tissues and cells aims at guarantee of their quality and safety. Part of this activity is issuance of certificate authorising the activity of tissue establishment, procurement site or diagnostic laboratories, control conduct, severe adverse events monitoring or suspect thereof, in cases of doubt whether tissues and cells governed by Act No. 296/2008 Coll., on provision of quality and safety of human tissues and cells designated for use in humans and changes to some related Acts (Act on human tissues and cells), as amended, are concerned.

These Acts came into existence as the Czech implementation of numerous EU directives. This strict regulation assures the highest quality in the field of reproductive medicine for each member of European Union.

The particular directives are:

Commission Directive 2006/86/EC of 24 October 2006 implementing Directive 2004/23/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards traceability requirements, notification of serious adverse reactions and events and certain technical requirements for the coding, processing, preservation, storage and distribution of human tissues and cells.
Directive 2004/23/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 on setting standards of quality and safety for the donation, procurement, testing, processing, preservation, storage and distribution of human tissues and cells.
Commission Directive 2006/17/EC of 8 February 2006 implementing Directive 2004/23/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards certain technical requirements for the donation, procurement and testing of human tissues and cells.
Corrigendum to Regulation (EC) No 1394/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 November 2007 on advanced therapy medicinal products and amending Directive 2001/83/EC and Regulation (EC) No 726/2004.
