Assisted Reproductive Technology

The National Taiwan University Hospital Reproductive Medicine Center leads the world in successful pregnancies by way of biopsy and genetic screening of the blastocyst, paired with vitrification. Diagnosis rate has improved from 71 to 91%, pregnancy rate has improved to 64%.

The Department of Reproductive Medicine at Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital was the first in Asia to successfully use intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection without the use of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP); now the conception rate is as high as 90%.

The world's first case of AADC being averted from transmission using PGD was completed in 2011 at Changhua Christian Hospital Center for Medical Genetics(Taiwan), marking a new page in the history of genetic study.
