Couples with reproductive problems from Bulgaria will have the opportunity to consult a top doctor from Greece on 30 November 2018 in Sofia. Dr. Charalampos Karpouzis is a leading specialist in our southern neighbor in the field of reproductive medicine, infertility treatment and laparoscopic gynecological surgeries. The top specialist will be visiting the country at the invitation of Zvezdelina Lutfi, manager of the Health Information Center "Medical Karadži", within the framework of their initiative to provide Bulgarian patients with access to the latest achievements in medicine by partnering with some of the best medical institutions and specialists from around the world.
Who is Dr. Charalampos Karpuzis?
Dr. Karpuzis is the founder and scientific director of Pelargos IVF, a unique group of medical professionals who offer a holistic approach to solving gynecological and reproductive problems, including donor material and surrogacy. Before returning to his home country in 2013, Dr Karpuzis specialised and worked in some of the busiest hospitals in London, UK. He is certified by the British Fertility Society and the British Society of Colposcopies and Cervical pathology. He claims to follow internationally accepted principles in his work but is not afraid to apply innovative protocols to difficult cases.
A comprehensive approach to infertility treatment
Pelargos means "stork" in Greek, so the Pelargos IVF team believes that this symbol of a dream come true for a baby helps them achieve the high success rate they pride themselves on. But beyond that, they rely on a personal approach, attention and innovative methods. They offer individual consultations and IVF/ICSI/IMSI treatment that can be combined with PGS/PGD testing. Apart from the head consultant Dr Karpouzis, who is a renowned AG specialist in Athens, the team includes a haematologist, endocrinologist, urologist, dermatologist, psychologist, nutritionist and even a yoga and shiatsu specialist. They all work together to provide holistic care while partnering with three of the most successful IVF centers in Athens, so each couple can choose the location of their treatment according to the specifics of their case and budget.
When the case calls for it, couples can take advantage of donor programs, which are run according to international protocols and standards, with a success rate of 75-85%.
In vitro fertilization in Greece - why yes?
Greece is a geographically close and familiar country that also offers quality medical services at reasonable prices. For many couples, being able to get the treatment they are looking for in an EU country is an added security and advantage. There are no waiting lists for donor eggs and donors are anonymous and must undergo a full health screening. In 95% of the cases, the specialists manage to find the right donor material within one month, taking into account the physical characteristics of the recipient as well as character traits, education, social status, etc. in the selection process.
Consultations with Dr. Harry Karpuzis on 30 November in Sofia are free of charge, with a prior appointment on the phones of "Medical Karaj": 0879 977 401 or 0879 977 402.
