MedSolution.com connects couples with world renowned fertility center at a fraction of US costs.

VANCOUVER - More than 6.1 million Americans are struggling to fulfill their lifelong dream of creating a family. And with costs reaching as much as $18,500 for each in vitro fertilization attempt and related medications, Searcy couples with fertility problems may think it’s baby or bust.

But thanks to a Vancouver-based medical tourism company, Arkansas couples are finally able to access the fertility treatments they need at a mere fraction of typical US health costs.

"American couples shouldn’t be forced to choose between bankruptcy and the prospect of raising a family," said MedSolution.com spokesman John Knox. "There are amazing international options available for Arkansas residents that can make the dream of starting a family a reality."

MedSolution.com has partnered with Jinemed Hospital, a state of the art fertility clinic in Istanbul, Turkey that was founded by Dr. Teksen Camlibel, one of the world’s leading fertility specialists. Dr. Camlibel practiced reproductive medicine in the USA for close to 15 years before returning to his native Turkey to provide real hope to couples struggling with conception and infertility.

"MedSolution.com can provide Searcy couples with unparalleled service at a fraction of American costs," Knox said. "We can connect couples with IVF\ICSI procedures, including medications and three weeks stay in a five-star hotel, for about $8,500 – more than $10,000 less than US prices. When you consider that IVF often takes two or three attempts before it is successful, the savings are incredible."

Jinemed performs more than 1,200 IVF treatment cycles each year and their success rate is slightly higher than the North American average. One benefit to exploring options with Jinemed is that they make use of the very latest in fertility technologies and procedures, some which are not widely available in the USA yet.

Aside from IVF\ICSI treatments, Jinemed also offers sex selection, tubal reversal, intra uterine insemination, embryo freezing and microTESE treatments. The clinic is also one of a few in the world that offers ovarian cortex freezing. This revolutionary procedure removes part of the ovaries and freezes it for future use. This operation is beneficial for women who need to have chemotherapy, which is detrimental to ovarian functions, or who would like to get pregnant later in life when the ability to reproduce normally begins to falter.

"As fertility treatments are generally not covered by insurance plans, this would be a substantial savings for would-be parents," Knox said. "By visiting Turkey, couples can relax and focus on their treatment in a beautiful and exotic environment. Plus, because patients are away from home, they avoid the added stressors of everyday life, increasing the chances of a positive outcome."

Jinemed’s doctors have all received training and medical experience in the United States or Western Europe. All staff are fluent in English, and the hospital is equipped with the latest medical technologies. They also ensure all aspects of your trip are taken care of – from hotels to sight-seeing.

"Our goal is to provide as much support to the couple as possible, both medical and emotional," said Jinemed spokesman Ugur Camlibel. "We have two goals at Jinemed: to ensure the patient gets pregnant, and to assist the couple both emotionally and financially. Our low-cost treatment options provide an alternative choice for couples who cannot afford these treatments in their home countries."

In addition to Turkey, MedSolution.com has partnerships with hospitals in India and France. These hospitals offer a wide range of surgical procedures including cardiac, orthopedic, gastric, cosmetic and dental.

MedSolution.com’s clients can expect the same standard of care at their partner hospitals as would be expected within the American system. Partner hospitals undergo an extensive screening process which includes background checks with local health authorities and professional associations. Hospitals must also adhere to operating room procedural standards endorsed by the World Health Organization, and their staff must be able to communicate with MedSolution.com’s clients in fluent English at all stages of care.

MedSolution.com is currently building additional partnerships in Brazil, Poland, Malaysia, Costa Rica, Mexico and South Africa and expects to have these facilities ready by Fall 2007.
