He said although the success rate of IVF in the country was just a little over 30 per cent, it was still a good success rate in the area. “In IVF technology, there are a lot of constraints and parameters, so to reach the success rate of 30 per cent, it is very much at par and equivalent to the IVF development in other countries.”
Dr Dzulkefly said, at present, there were 52 private IVF centres nationwide, as well as four at public hospitals, namely Sultanah Bahiyah Hospital in Kedah, Kuala Lumpur, Women and Children Hospital in Likas, Sabah, as well as the Sultanah Nur Zahirah Hospital in Terengganu.
