Beginning our third decade of service

In 1986, The Institute of Studies for Human Conception (IECH) was founded by a group of doctors who dedicate their lives and practice to the study and treatment of infertile couples. In 1988, the first baby was born in Mexico using a novel technique called GIFT (Gamete Intrafallopian Tube Transfer) in an egg donor program. Today IECH boasts more than 1,700 babies born with IECH’s assistance. To ensure that the IECH staff are constantly trained in the latest assisted reproductive techniques, we rely on the scientific collaboration of Yale Fertility Center Director Dr. Pasquale Patrizio, MD. Together with him, IECH doctors Dr. Samuel Hernández Ayup, Dr. Roberto Santos Haliscak and Dr. Pedro Galache Vega, have brought the practice of assisted reproduction in Mexico to international acclaim.
Our practice has now grown to include dozens of physicians and three locations throughout Northern Mexico. While growing to meet the needs of our patients, we have remained true to our philosophy of providing contemporary medical care in an environment that supports each couple individually. The IECH has also played an active role in the medical community regarding human reproduction, sharing our clinical experience in local, national and international academic forums, as well as contributing to the development of highly qualified specialists.
