The “Fertility and Sterility Center” in Pristina (Kosovo) is the unique in the region. Even if at first sight birthrate is high in Kosovo, infertility is also very common here. There are not experts or centers for infertility disorders, although there is a great need for them. Many couples suffer because of infertility problems.
The inability of couples to have children causes a lot of suffering. Especially women have to bear the responsibility for these disorders, even if the “true responsible” is unknown. In this region the inability to have children prevents couples from having a normal social life. Childless couples go through a difficult period in their life.
This was the reason to found this center, hoping to be able to reduce at least a little the suffering of patients with infertility problems.

Aims and Activities of the “Fertility and Sterility Center”:

This center gives the patients information and education about fertility, starting with lectures about contraception for the adolescents and others. This will contribute to prevent unwanted pregnancies, sexual transmitted diseases and preserve the reproductive capability of the youth.
One of the points of this center is also early detection of breast carcinoma and different kinds of women’s genital malignancies, which is very important for this area, especially for the fact that most of women here are dying never diagnosed their illness.
The center also treats male and female sterility, using very simple methods like inseminations up to more advanced ones like “In Vitro Fertilization” (IVF).
