At Institut Marquès, we have our own sperm and egg bank. Additionally, we carry out a meticulous and entirely personalised matching between patients and donors, with a doctor selecting the donors taking into account the physical and psychological traits of both parties. We choose the best donor for each patient, without waiting lists and with the possibility of synchronising the treatment so that the freezing of gametes is not necessary in In Vitro Fertilisation.

Egg donors are young, healthy women who wish to help other women become mothers. They undergo a very comprehensive medical, gynaecological, and analytical examination, including psychological tests, karyotype studies, tests to rule out infectious diseases, and specific tests to rule out the most common mutations in the European population.
