Heal Fertility allowed to fully resume services after investigation into embryo sample mismatch

The Department of Health announced the lifting of the service ban on Heal Fertility. The centre has been approved by the Assisted Reproduction Committee to resume the 17 treatment services covered by its licence, and can accept new patients from Tuesday. The committee conducted an unannounced inspection on September 22 and was satisfied that the centre had improved its sample handling procedures. Previously, the centre had sent the wrong embryo sample to the CUHK Genetic Diagnostic Centre for DNA testing.
