Introduction
Why this guide?
A medical, legal and personal subject
IVF and fertility are sensitive topics, both medical, legal, psychological and familial. Any cross-border process requires rigorous information, personalised medical analysis and legal verification adapted to the patient or couple’s situation.
ANAHIT.CARE facilitates the preparation of a request and matching with selected professionals. The platform does not provide medical advice, does not provide definitive legal advice and does not promise any result.
Important information. The sources and information presented on this page are for reference only. They do not constitute a medical recommendation, diagnosis, legal advice or validation of a care pathway by ANAHIT.CARE. Medical decisions belong to qualified healthcare professionals. In case of emergency, contact local emergency services.
Context
Medical and institutional context in Armenia
Training institutions, not an individual guarantee
Armenia has medical and university institutions involved in training in obstetrics, gynaecology, perinatology and reproductive health. The Yerevan State Medical University documents departments linked to obstetrics, gynaecology and reproductive medicine.
This context is not enough to decide on a pathway. In IVF, each situation is specific: age, history, ovarian reserve, semen analysis, associated conditions, previous failures, family situation, legal constraints, country of residence and possible recognition of acts or filiations.
Legal framework
Legal framework on assisted reproduction in Armenia
This page does not summarise the whole law and does not replace a legal consultation.
Armenian law on reproductive health and reproductive rights governs assisted reproduction technologies. It mentions in particular artificial insemination, in vitro fertilisation, embryo implantation, donation and surrogacy under conditions defined by law.
Any process must be verified with a competent professional, especially when the situation involves gamete donation, embryos, filiation, recognition in the country of residence or return with a child.

Role of ANAHIT.CARE
How ANAHIT.CARE can help
Centralise information, not replace the physician, biologist or lawyer
Support
Structured matching
ANAHIT.CARE can help centralise information, prepare a structured request, facilitate a first matching with partners and remind the points to verify before any commitment.
Caution
Important limits
ANAHIT.CARE does not promise any pregnancy outcome, any non-individualised figure, any deadline or any legal compatibility. The platform does not replace the physician, biologist or lawyer. An IVF process must be the subject of an individualised medical exchange.
Legal aspects: questions of donation, filiation, recognition in the country of residence and return with a child must be verified with a competent professional before any commitment.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
