Fertility specialist clinic open in Beijing

A New York reproduction health company opened a center in Beijing Saturday to help serve the growing number of infertile couples in China.

Global Fertility & Genetics of New York, built in 2014, opened its China headquarters at OASIS International Hospital.

The center will set up a pregnancy preparation department with Ciming Health Checkup Management Croup Co Ltd and OASIS, an international high-end general hospital, to establish international industry standards in fertility treatment in China.

Statistics show that the rate of infertility among people of reproductive age has climbed to 10 percent in recent years, so more and more Chinese families need assisted reproductive technology.

Since the United States' fertility technology is the most advanced in the world, setting up a pregnancy preparation department will make it possible for Chinese to access the services of an American expert and international technology without going aboard.

The move will allow people who have difficulty conceiving to get the medical help they need to do so in China.
