5. FACILITIES
Newlife IVF Greece is based in modern purposely built premises,
designed to ensure maximum safety and minimal stress during
treatment. We have 3 separate laboratories: embryology, seminology and
cryobiology and two operating theatres, all with cutting edge equipment
kept up to date according to the scientific advances in the field of infertili-
ty. We have also designed 4 single recovery rooms with en suite facilities
so that you have your own personal space when having either an egg
collection or an embryo transfer.

6. QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (QMS)
Here at Newlife IVF Greece we
aim to provide the highest possi-
ble standards of care and
treatment to all people. This is
achieved through the employ-
ment of experienced and highly
skilled staff, by the continuous
review of all our services and the
implementation of new develop-
ments in investigating and
treating infertility.
Our rigorous QMS confirms that
we have procedures in place to
ensure that the level of care that
we provide is consistently of a
high standard. We carry out
frequent internal audits to main-
tain our services to the highest
level by constantly identifying
areas that could be further
improved. External audits from
our ISO certification body ensure
our QMS is effective and that we
comply at all times with all of the
regulatory requirements both
of Greek and of international
authorities.
We encourage feedback from our
patients and use this information
as a guide to our practice. The
rate of positive patient feedback is
above 90%, regardless of the
treatment outcome, which
surpasses the 80% satisfaction
rate required by ISO.
“The clinic itself is in a lovely building and it is spotlessly
clean. I had my own room for before and aſter the
embryo transfer and it was nicer and more luxurious
than most hotel rooms! I really appreciated that I was
given as long as I needed to rest aſter the transfer. The
customer service was outstanding at all times.”

QUALITY OF CARE

7. 24HRS MONITORING
OF LAB CONDITIONS
We have in place a 24-hour 365-
day monitoring system of all main
culture and storage parameters in
the IVF and cryopreservation labs
to ensure optimal conditions at all
times, which is a key element
towards high success rates.
ISO CERTIFIED BY
TÜV GERMANY
Newlife IVF Greece has a compre-
hensive Quality Management
System certified to ISO 9001:2008
by TÜV Germany. Compliance with
this quality system is mandatory
for all staff at all times at our clinic.
CLEAN ROOM
TECHNOLOGY
The use of non-toxic materials in
conjunction with special air filters
and air pressure systems in all
our clinical areas creates an ideal
environment for the manipula-
tion and development of human
gametes and embryos.

8. All our staff is highly experienced
in the field of human reproduction
and speaks English fluently. M ost
of us have been trained and
worked in the UK and other
European countries in the past.
Apart from the main IVF team, we
have a structured network of
collaborating specialists (urolo-
gists, geneticists etc.) and
treatment coordinators, as well
as assistants for your travel and
accomodation. By all these we
aim to make your treatment
easier to deal with and the whole
experience far more than just a
treatment cycle.
THE TEAM
Our team will be by your side at
every step of the way, providing
support and suggesting realistic
options. This means that we do
not recommend tests or
treatments without any support-
ing medical evidence, as the latter
only increases the total cost of
treatment, without any added
benefit.
As we understand how difficult it
is to pursue such sensitive
treatments far from home, we
are available to you 24-7 during
your stay here.

18. SINGLE WOMEN
DONOR SPERM
In cases of single women donor
sperm is needed. Our clinic
collaborates with renowned
international sperm banks. Their
donor semen samples comply
with both European and Greek
Laws. Each sperm sample has a
certificate to verify the good
health of the donor. All sperm
donations in Greece are anony-
mous by law, but you have access
to donor’s details such as physi-
cal characteristics, age, country
of origin, level of education and
blood group.
EMBRYO DONATION
We do not offer embryo donation
in the traditional sense. Therefore
our embryo donation cycles are
fresh, following fertilization of
fresh donor eggs with donor
sperm, in order to give you the
highest possible pregnancy rates.
Both the egg and the sperm donor
are selected according to your
requirements.
GREEK LAW FOR
FERTILITY TREATMENTS
The Greek law is flexible and fully
permits all types of fertility
treatments for single women.

19. MALE FACTOR INFERTILITY
MICROSURGICAL TESTICULAR SPERM
EXTRACTION (TESE) / TESTICULAR FINE
NEEDLE ASPIRATION (FNA)
In cases that no spermatozoa are
found in the ejaculate (azoosper-
mia), we can ensure following
specific investigations that sperm
can be found through a minor
procedure directly from the
testes.
This can be done either through a
small incision made on the
scrotum or alternatively a fine
needle may be used to aspirate
fluid and tissue directly from the
testis.
These procedures are performed
at Newlife by specialised urolo-
gists in order to minimise
damage to the testes and to
obtain adequate samples.
DONOR SPERM
Donor sperm is used in cases
when every chance of finding
mature physiological spermato-
zoa either in the ejaculate or
following testicular biopsy has
been excluded.

22. the greek
experience

23. Thessaloniki is the second
biggest city in Greece, located in
the north of the country. It is an
ideal tourist destination, as it
enchants its visitors with its
beauty and rich cultural heritage.
Any walk around the city will
reveal some new aspects of its
eternal history to the traveler.
Ancient memories, roman
influences and byzantine splen-
dor comprise a uniquely charm-
ing mosaic. UNESCO has recog-
nized the city as one of the most
important ones to the historical
memory of human kind. Nowa-
days, it is a metropolis with large
avenues and squares, neoclassi-
cal and art-deco buildings which
THESSALONIKI
stand side by side to modern
dwellings and high standard
hotels. It hosts the Annual “inter-
national trade fair”, in September,
the “Thessaloniki International
Film festival” and the internation-
al “Thessaloniki Book Fair”. Its
many theatres, cinemas, galler-
ies, art cafes, significant muse-
ums and concert halls boast a
flourishing cultural life that
heightens the spirit and comforts
the soul. It has a very lively night-
life, many places for shopping,
fine dining and cultural events. It
is considered less hectic but
more friendly than Athens
(according to Lonely Planet), and
a safe place to travel to.

24. OUR LOCATION
Newlife IVF Center is located on
the outskirts of Thessaloniki, 5
minutes driving distance from the
airport (Macedonia Airport-SKG)
and 15 minutes from the city
centre.
Although the flights to Thessalon-
iki may be less frequent
compared to Athens, there are
still many airlines travelling
directly here (BA, Easyjet,
RyanAir). Furthermore, the total
cost of treatment, including
travel, cost of living and accom-
modation may well work out to be
much cheaper than Athens.

less luscious combinations make
Greek cuisine unique the world
over. Greek diet is not only
ambrosial but also very healthy
recommended by most expert top
dieticians. The main components
are:
EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
This is the foundation of Mediter-
ranean diet it is a great source of
unsaturated fats and vitamin E. It
is the perfect ingredient not only
for cooking but also for salad
dressings, sauces for pasta and
even as bread condiment.
OILY FISH

herring are some of the oily fish
used in the Mediterranean diet,
which are a great source of
omega 3 fatty acids to benefit
your heart’s health.
THE TASTES
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
Instead of sweet processed
desserts here you can enjoy the
natural sweetness of fruits.
Vegetables as well as a multitude
of spices and herbs are also the
major part of the Mediterranean
diet and cuisine.
BEANS AND NUTS
Almonds, cashews, sesame
seeds and walnuts can be used
as part of a meal or as snacks
and they are full of vitamins and
minerals to benefit your health.
CHEESE AND WINE
Famous all over the world FETA
cheese is certified as an exclu-
sively Greek product world-wide
and it is the main ingredient of
most Greek pies.
You can relish wholesome meats
and poultry and enjoy the freshest
sea food. You can taste the
famous Greek white rose or red
wine, produced according to
revered old recipes. Ouzo is
certainly the national drink of
Greece and can be drunk with or

that preconception Mediterranean
style diet in couples undergoing
ART treatment increases
chances of achieving pregnancy
by 40%.
