Maria was undergoing fertility treatment at a clinic that ended up going bankrupt, leaving her without access to the treatment she had started. Currently, the patient is being informed that she will have to pay 3,500 euros to be able to continue her treatment, in a process that has left her in a very difficult situation.
Maria is one of eight patients with ongoing fertility treatments who were caught in the middle of this insolvency, которая is described as unprecedented in the reproductive medicine sector in Portugal.
The clinic in question offered its patients a money-back guarantee in case of treatment failure, a policy that has worried specialists. This unusual commercial practice raises questions about the financial viability of the clinic's business model and about the risks that patients face when clinics with this type of guarantees go into insolvency.
