First Test-Tube Babies in Yemen [Archives:2001/04/Last Page]
January 22 2001
The first ever test-tube Yemeni babies, Abdullah and Isra were born at the Assisted Reproduction Centers I.V.F. unit on January 10 and 13 respectively.
Doctors confirm that both babies and their mothers are in healthy conditions, and that this success marks a major breakthrough in Yemens medical history. This will open the way for thousands of sterile Yemenis to be able to produce children and will not require them to travel abroad for treatment.
Doctors, however, reminded us that test-tube baby production is not possible in many sterility cases.
