INSTITUTO MARQUES

The Instituto Marqués (IM) has one of the longest and most succesful series of succesful IVF treatments in Europe. The Instituto treats more than 1,000 patients from abroad each year, so taking care of your needs coming from a foreign country is not an issue.

IM is located in residential area inside Barcelona, well communicated but in a quiet area, in a typical country house
from the XVII century, completely updated to make you feel comfortable and relaxed.



The strength of IM international program, in addition to the
high quality of care and excellent IVF results, relies on the
fact that Spain has one of the most advanced assisted reproduction legislation in Europe. The recent legislation approved by the Spanish Parliament in May 2006 no longer
limits the number of oocytes to be inseminated and allows
for egg and semen donation in all women who may wish to
do so, regardless of marital status and sexual orientation.
Unlike other countries in Europe, egg and semen donation
in Spain is anonymous and, therefore, the identity of the
donor for IVF
can never be revealed.




What Instituto Marqués can offer you

No Waiting Lists

Thanks to the solidarity of hundreds of young Catalonian and foreign women who live in Barcelona, we currently have a large catalog of egg donors. These donors are mostly young university students who are carefully evaluated and selected by our Oocyte Donation Team. Donors and patients are carefully matched according to their phenotypical characteristics and
blood group. This large catalog of egg donors at Instituto
Marques allows our program to offer IVF treatments with egg donation without delay thus avoiding long waiting lists.

Preimplantational Genetic Diagnosis

In addition to the usual IVF treatments, Instituto Marqués
also offers this service for couples with recurrent miscarriage and repeated pregnancy failure in IVF, couples with advanced maternal age who want to optimize the chances of a pregnancy, as well as in all carriers of a genetic disease who wish to have healthy children free of these genetic anomalies.

A Multilingual Travel Department

At Instituto Marqués, you will find more than 80 professionals fully dedicated to help you. They will all make every effort to thoroughly inform you and facilitate your trip to our Center. We have our own Travel Department to make all the necessary arrangements for your trip to Barcelona. We also have a team
of translators especially trained to attend the specific needs
of foreign patients like you who come to our International Program.

We also offer you a permanent line of communication with your specialist at Institute Marqués . This will help answer
any questions or doubts that you may have concerning your treatment process. Following the highly efficient protocol of our international program, the majority of foreign couples manage
to return to their country with an ongoing pregnancy after just two visits to our Center. The first to establish the treatment course and the second for the transfer of the embryos.

At Instituto Marqués, every patient is approached in a personalized individual basis. Each case is discussed in
clinical rounds by a team of experts with the common goal of achieving the best possible results. We also place special
emphasis on the human component and personal support
 that our patients may need. For this purpose, we make
available to our patients a team of psychologists specialized
in Assisted Reproduction who, when necessary, will help alleviate any emotional tension generated by their infertility problem and encourage them to face their process in a positive way.

Instituto Marqués is affiliated to the prestigious Clinica CIMA (International Center of Advanced Medicine), an internationally renown healthcare center to which illustrious personalities such
as the King of Spain, His Majesty Juan Carlos I, attend on a
regular basis for his medical checkups. In fact, some of our facilities are located in Clinica CIMA which is just a few meters away from Instituto Marques.
