With advanced reproductive technology, this center has helped more than 400,000 infertile couples conceive. In 1991, the first test-tube baby of the hospital was born. In 1993, the first case of microsurgical epididymal sperm aspiration in the country was successfully applied by the center. In 1995, the first baby using intracytoplasmic sperm injection was born in the hospital. In 1996, a frozen embryo was successfully applied in pregnancy after being thawed.
