IVF (in vitro fertilization) is a fertility treatment technique that mimics the process of human fertilization in a laboratory. Since the announcement of the first IVF pregnancy in Australia in 1973, hope has become a reality for countless couples, including countries like Malaysia, who have been able to have a child with this type of treatment. It is an effective treatment for almost all causes of infertility.
