Maybelyn Fernandez, chairman of the Philippine Parliamentarians Union, is only 35 years old and also a local movie star. Married 6 years ago, Maybelyn has failed 3 times of artificial conception treatment and 2 times of IVF. Because her husband was born to the purple, the infertility issue gave her tremendous pressure and caused her to fall into depression as well as affected the relationship between the couple. Two years ago, she was introduced to the Lee Women’s Hospital in Taichung via the Internet and friends to help her to have a child.
 

Lee Mao Sheng pointed out that Maybelyn has problems with polycystic ovary, unicornuate uterus, bilateral fallopian tube obstruction, as well as immune diseases;all of the above affected her ovulation status, egg production, and implantation. Even if she can surgically recanalize her tube, her natural pregnancy rate is less than 1%, after having IVF treatment and medication for her, she successfully conceived and gave birth to a healthy and lovely daughter this year in the second attempt. Yesterday, Maybelyn specially brought the family back to the hospital to thank for the help.
 

Lee said, the hospital has more than 500 foreign pregnancy-seeking patients in 36 countries every year, and stays in Taiwan for 30 to 60 days for each treatment, including officials, wealthy businessmen, stars during this period, the tourism output has also been raised, besides, Taiwan’s reproductive technology is advanced and cheap, the new drugs are also in sync with Europe and the United States as well, which is very competitive internationally. Recently, we have also developed a one-stop service from visas, accommodation, chartered cars to medical treatment, and therefore, the government should also make positive progress regardless of borders.
 

Lee Mao Sheng also conveyed that medical care should be borderlessbecause Chinese patients who come to Taiwan for infertility treatment account for half of foreign patients. It usually takes about one week for a foreign patient to apply for a visa while Chinese patients need two to three months on the contrary. Moreover, Chinese patients can already receive other medical treatment and dental implants in Taiwan, the government should loosen the policy for infertility treatment and let the world witness the medical progress in Taiwan.
