How does an IVF clinic in the Czech Republic get international patients?
Most come for anonymous egg donation, and the largest group comes from Germany.
How many come?
In 2023, 84.6% of egg recipient cycles in the Czech Republic were for women living abroad (ÚZIS).
Across all treatment, nearly 40% of cycles in 2016 to 2019 were for patients from abroad (Volejníková et al., 2025).
Where from?
Mostly Germany, Italy, Slovakia, the UK, France, Serbia, Ireland and Hungary, according to the same study.
Who can you treat?
A woman up to 49 with a male partner, on their joint written request (Act 373/2011), so single women and female couples are not eligible.

Donors are anonymous, women aged 18 to 35 and men aged 18 to 40.
What should you answer up front?
