The Ovom Clinic, located in Cascais, unexpectedly closed its doors, leaving many patients with ongoing fertility treatments without assistance. The clinic was insolvent, which led to the unexpected closure of the facilities.
The biological material preserved at the clinic, including embryos and gametes from various patients, should be transferred in the coming days to AVA Clinic, another assisted reproduction center located in Lisbon.
This situation left many patients in a delicate position, as many had fertility treatments in progress and were not previously warned about the clinic's closure. The transfer of biological material to another center aims to ensure continuity of care and the preservation of reproductive options for the affected patients.
