Common questions
How many IVF cycles will I need?
It depends mostly on age and the cause of infertility. Ask the clinic for its results for patients similar to you.
Does insurance cover IVF in Kenya?
Most covers exclude IVF. Some employers offer fertility benefits, so check your policy.
Is medication included in the price?
Often not. Ask every clinic to quote medication separately so you can compare like for like.
Getting IVF in Kenya
IVF is offered by specialist fertility centres, mostly in Nairobi, with some in Mombasa and other major towns. A quoted price per cycle can include very different things, and many couples need more than one cycle, so compare packages carefully.

- Check whether ICSI, embryo freezing and storage are included.
