Warning: IVF concierge clinics under scrutiny after closure
IVF patients are advised to be cautious of unregulated 'concierge clinics' following the closure of a popular clinic, leaving many without treatment or refunds. These online companies act as intermediaries between patients, donors, and doctors. The fertility watchdog is unable to regulate them as they do not directly provide IVF treatment, calling for stronger laws to protect patients. Syreeta Sandhu shares her experience of losing nearly £15,000, expressing frustration and anger.
IVF patients are being warned about unregulated 'concierge clinics' after a popular one closed down, leaving many clients without treatment or refunds.
With the increase in privately funded IVF cycles, online concierge companies have emerged to connect patients, donors, and doctors.
The fertility watchdog lacks the authority to regulate these clinics as they do not directly provide IVF treatment. Calls are being made to strengthen the law to safeguard patients.
Syreeta Sandhu lost nearly £15,000 when her concierge clinic shut down. She expressed her distress, saying, 'You're on your knees. Upset has turned to frustration and anger.'
