    QUALITY

    OUR CERTIFICATIONS

    We are listed in the catalogue of licensed in vitro fertilization Units (IVFU) & Cryopreservation Banks (CB), according to the Greek National Authority of Assisted Reproduction . (actual list here: //eaiya.gov.gr/en/information/licensed/ ). The Greek National Authority of Assisted Reproduction is a national body that introduces and controls the scientific, legal and moral frame in which all clinics and organizations related to assisted reproduction are functioning. The common frame in which the various Fertility and Assisted Reproduction Clinics practice, guarantees to women and couples that the services obtained are reliable and therefore trustworthy. For the above reasons, the Authority was put in action again in March 2014 in order to cover the big gap that existed in controlling the area of assisted reproduction and the safe functioning of the different related clinics and organizations.

     

    According to the presidential decree, the Authority makes controls, gives suggestions, collects data and keeps records of every single case related to assisted reproduction and in general maps and mainly assures that clinics related are properly functioning. The main target of the data collection relates primarily to the protection of people by the accurate information provided referring to the percentages of successful cases.

     

    The aim of the Authority is to guarantee safety for the people and support the proper functioning of the clinics as defined by the law and the European Society of Human Reproduction (source: //eaiya.gov.gr/en/ ).

     

    Although in any case, quality and measuring satisfaction and outcomes belong to our DNA, it is legally required from the Greek National Authority of Assisted Reproduction to be certified for EN ISO 15224:2012 in order to be a licensed in vitro fertilization Unit (IVFU) & Cryopreservation Bank (CB). Of course, we proudly present our certification achieved by TUV AUSTRIA with certification no: 0117372062272.

     

    Last but not least we do comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and we took all necessary actions towards the Hellenic Data Protection Authority (HDPA), which is a constitutionally consolidated independent Authority.

     

    At the same time, it is our commitment to conserve energy and to protect the environment in order to contribute and ensure the quality of the future that our children deserve.
