  • BioTexCom in international mass media: what does European press say about Kyiv reproductive center

For a long time, Center for Human Reproduction “BioTexCom” became known not only in European countries among infertile patients, but also was widely discussed in mass media.
Year after year, the number of people who wanted to give an interview about clinic’s work increased. There were a lot of TV programs, as well as newspaper articles and even a book about “BioTexCom” service, surrogate mothers stories and stories of the European couples who had treatment in Kiev.
Starting working in the capital of Ukraine, top management of the clinic, as well as the whole team of doctors and managers, could not even imagine that they will become such a big breakthrough in Europe. Today it is a well-developed, ever-expanding, modern center for reproduction that deals with foreign infertile couples. Successful pregnancy in 65 years, pregnancy after 13 years of infertility, winning lawsuits. All this and even more was covered by European media.

It’s not a secret that surrogacy programs are banned almost everywhere in Europe. Egg donation is allowed only in a few countries but quite often these programs offer not very favorable conditions (for patients, as well as for donors). In Ukraine, however, all these programs are absolutely legal. That’s why Europeans seek for medical help outside of their home countries.

For most citizens of Germany, France, Italy, Spain, England and other countries, Ukraine has become the place of the legal conducting of such ART programs as surrogacy and egg donation.

International media couldn’t miss this fact and prepared their cameras and recording devices. Slowly, year by year, journalists from all over the world were coming to Ukraine only to make an intriguing story about this Ukrainian center that stirs whole Europe. But “BioTexCom” is quick to make reasoning for international journalists to come there over and over again.

News are not always so positive. The scandals and investigations are the sense of journalists’ work, so the object of the interest is in the firing line. However, as the wise men said, criticism is the key to success and it does not matter what people are talking about; it is important that they are already talking! Journalistic investigations are the most truthful and interesting among others because it is hard to be ready and think about all details before visit of media. Moreover, you can’t even know when a journalist snicks into your territory and he is about to collect the information about you. This happened to «BioTexCom» once. British journalist pretended to be a potential patient in order to find out all the details and features of the clinic, playing her cards close to the vest.

Italian media cover the Ukrainian clinic widely. This is all linked to the fact that the center takes into programs a huge number of Italian clients.

However, an Italian journalist wrote a book about surrogacy in which she mentioned “BioTexCom”
