Pre-Genetic Testing (PGT) for IVF
For patients undergoing IVF, ensuring the transfer of healthy embryos can significantly increase the chances of a successful pregnancy.

This article explains why Panama Fertility is the preferred clinic for Bahamian patients seeking PGT as part of their fertility journey.
What is Pre-Genetic Testing (PGT)?
