About Clinic
The idea of creating a laboratory for the treatment of infertility by in vitro fertilization (IVF) originated with Dr. Saltanat Baikoshkarova in the late 80s. At a conference in Sochi on the problems of infertility treatment on the basis of the American-Russian Center, Saltanat met the founders of IVF in the USSR.
On April 18, 1995, the Ecomed Infertility Treatment Medical Center was established in Almaty. The birth of the first Kazakhstani child “from a test tube” on July 31, 1996, the authors of which are the founder of IVF in Kazakhstan, embryologist Saltanat Baykoshkarova and gynecologist Tatiana Rubashina (Kopylova), opened a new page in the field of infertility treatment in the country.
In 1995, the Ecomed clinic was included in the World IVF Registry in France as the first IVF laboratory in Kazakhstan. In 2005, the heads of the clinic took part in an international congress held in London under the patronage of Queen Elizabeth II, dedicated to the celebration of the 2 millionth test tube baby in the world. Nobel Prize winner, world-famous Professor Robert Edwards (Cambridge, UK), thanks to whose professionalism the first “test tube” girl in the world was born in 1978, personally congratulated the first IVF laboratory in Kazakhstan in the person of its head Saltanat Baikoshkarova.
Today, the clinic has the opportunity to diagnose and treat infertility at the most modern scientific level, all types and possibilities of obtaining highly qualified assistance in the field of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are presented without traveling abroad. Evidence of this is also the treatment of patients from the near (Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, etc.) and from abroad (Germany, USA, Turkey, Italy, England, etc.).

Large assortment
To date, we provide a full range of ART services, including unique technologies presented only in the Ecomed clinic group.
Special environments
Only the Ecomed clinic uses a new generation of media containing a geroprotective complex, which is the most physiological environment for embryo cultivation, successfully simulating the composition of the human uterine environment today.
— Fertilization rate – 83%
— Blastulation rate – 59%
Safe treatment
We are the only center in Kazakhstan successfully practicing minimal stimulation in IVF. Minimal stimulation is the minimization of hormonal effects on a woman’s body, while simultaneously improving the quality of treatment, reducing material costs of patients and eliminating complications of IVF procedure (hyperstimulation syndrome, multiple pregnancy). Only an experienced center, confident in its base, is not afraid to use this technology and gets high results with fewer eggs.
Rational use of biomaterial
We are the only center in Kazakhstan that has been officially certified by the Japanese technology of vitrification (freezing) of gametes and embryos “Cryotech” by the author of this technology – Dr. Masashige Kuwayama. This is the only technology that allows to achieve 100% survival of gametes and embryos after thawing
— The high frequency of blastulation allows freezing embryos in 67% of cases
— Oocyte survival rate – 98%
— Embryo survival rate – 100%
Wide selection of donors in Kazakhstan
The selection process of applicants is carried out according to strict criteria and as a result, 99% of candidates for donors are excluded. Such careful selection allows us to guarantee the high quality of the biomaterial and the phenotypic diversity of the most preferred characteristics of donors.
— 24 men were selected from more than 800 potential sperm donors
— 51 women were selected from more than 150 potential oocyte donors
