Question 1

What is the history and background of PRONATAL?

Accepted Answer

PRONATAL was founded in 1996 and has been helping couples become parents for almost 30 years. Over this period the network has grown to seven assisted‑reproduction centres across the Czech Republic and four additional locations abroad, serving roughly 7 000 couples annually. The clinic has facilitated the birth of thousands of children and is a member of the MEDICON group since 2016. PRONATAL’s facilities include a dedicated genetic laboratory, prenatal‑diagnostic centre, and a range of accredited medical specialties, reflecting its long‑standing commitment to high‑quality reproductive care.

Question 2

Does PRONATAL offer egg donation for IVF treatment?

Accepted Answer

Yes, PRONATAL provides egg donation as part of its IVF program. Donor eggs are sourced from carefully screened women aged 18‑33 who meet strict health, genetic and lifestyle criteria. The clinic’s donor‑egg cycles are reported to have very high pregnancy rates, contributing to the overall 90 % success claim. All donor material is handled anonymously in compliance with Czech law, and the process includes synchronization of donor and recipient cycles, ICSI fertilisation, and embryo transfer under the same clinical standards as own‑egg IVF.

Question 3

What IVF laboratory technology does PRONATAL use?

Accepted Answer

PRONATAL operates its own modern genetics laboratory, which is accredited to ISO 15189 standards by the Czech Institute for Accreditation (ČIA). The lab employs state‑of‑the‑art embryo culture incubators, time‑lapse monitoring systems, and automated vitrification equipment for embryo and gamete cryopreservation. Genetic testing, including PGT and NIPT, is performed in‑house using validated next‑generation sequencing platforms. These technologies ensure high‑quality embryo assessment, precise genetic screening, and consistent laboratory standards across all PRONATAL centres.

Question 4

What fertility treatments and services does PRONATAL offer?

Accepted Answer

PRONATAL provides a full spectrum of assisted reproduction options. Core treatments include conventional IVF, ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection), and intra‑uterine insemination (IUI). The clinic also offers egg freezing, donor‑egg IVF, and donor‑sperm programs, as well as social freezing for both eggs and sperm. Advanced genetic services such as pre‑implantation genetic testing (PGT‑A) and prenatal screening are performed in its own accredited genetics laboratory. Additional support includes fertility preservation for cancer patients, comprehensive hormonal and genetic diagnostics, and personalized counseling throughout the treatment journey.

Question 5

Who are the fertility doctors and specialists at PRONATAL?

Accepted Answer

PRONATAL’s medical team includes several leading reproductive specialists. The director of clinical care is Doc. MUDr. Tonko Mardešić, CSc., who oversees gynecology, obstetrics and reproductive medicine. MUDr. Nicole Mardešićová, MHA, serves as the chief physician for the Sanatorium and the overall PRONATAL group, while MUDr. Pavel Čermák, Ph.D., is an IVF specialist at the Ostrava centre. Additional experts include MUDr. Michal Kouřil (lead physician at the Spa centre), MUDr. Michal Lojka (lead physician at the Nord centre) and MUDr. Petr Matlák (lead physician at the Ostrava clinic). Together they provide comprehensive fertility, andrology, embryology and genetic services.

Question 6

What are the IVF success rates at PRONATAL?

Accepted Answer

PRONATAL reports that it can help up to 90 % of couples achieve pregnancy through assisted reproduction. The clinic emphasizes a high success rate for both own‑egg IVF and donor‑egg cycles, supported by nearly three decades of clinical experience. Success is further boosted by the use of advanced embryology techniques such as ICSI and pre‑implantation genetic testing (PGT). The 90 % figure reflects the clinic’s overall pregnancy‑per‑cycle outcome across all age groups and treatment types, positioning PRONATAL among the leading IVF providers in the region.

Question 7

What is the maximum age for IVF treatment at PRONATAL?

Accepted Answer

PRONATAL treats women up to the age of 48 years plus 364 days at the time of embryo transfer, in line with Czech legislation. This upper limit applies to both own‑egg and donor‑egg IVF cycles, and the clinic offers tailored protocols to optimise outcomes for patients approaching this age threshold. While the success rate naturally declines with advancing maternal age, PRONATAL’s high‑success‑rate claim and advanced laboratory techniques aim to maximise pregnancy chances for eligible patients.
