Chinese couples to be flown to Australia for IVF treatment
01-Feb-17, Shanghai Daily
A Melbourne in vitro fertilization (IVF) clinic has signed an agreement that will see Chinese couples flown into Australia for fertility treatment. Up to 100 Chinese women will receive treatment at Monash IVF, the clinic which completed the world's first IVF pregnancy, in the next 12 months with the possibility of more in the future.

The move comes in response to the waiting list for IVF clinics in China being up to two years long due to the country's growing middle class and relaxation of the one-child policy. James Thiedman, CEO of Monash IVF, said the clinic's reputation resonated with potential Chinese clients.
