A clinic in Lisbon received genetic material from a clinic that closed in Cascais. The transfer of biological materials was part of a contingency protocol that existed between the two clinics.
The Cascais clinic closed its doors after only one year of operation. The closure occurred without clients being notified in advance.
The contingency protocol between the two clinics allowed the genetic material to be transferred in an organized manner when the Cascais clinic ceased operating. This situation raised questions about communication with clients affected by the sudden closure.
