As you know, at Barcelona IVF we adapted ourselves to the needs of the COVID-19 crisis that required that treatments needed to be suspended to minimize the risks of infection. Nevertheless, during this time, we have always been by your side thanks to online patient assistance and the emergency department at the clinic.
But the good news has started to come. Fortunately, the current general situation already allows us to restart the activity, so we are able to assist you as always and with all the security guarantees. If you still have doubts about what steps to take depending on what stage you are in, here we answer some questions that will work as a guide.
¿ What should I do if I want to consult a sterility problem or find alternatives to get pregnant?
If you are a couple who cannot get pregnant or a woman without a partner or with a female partner, you can contact us by phone (934 176 916) or by email (info@bcnivf.com) and we will organize a visit, preferably an online visit, to avoid that you need to leave home.
¿What should I do if I want to initiate or resume my fertility treatment?
You just have to contact us and we will provide you with all the information to start or resume your treatment immediately with all the necessary security measures.
¿Is it safe to get pregnant right now?
As of today, the information that exists in this regard is still limited, but we can affirm that there is no vertical transmission of the virus between a pregnant mother and her child. There is also no evidence that the virus can be transmitted through breast milk, nor can a pregnant woman be considered to be particularly susceptible to contract Covid-19 disease.
In any case, like any person, it is convenient to follow all the hygiene recommendations to avoid contagion as much as possible.
¿How has Barcelona IVF adjusted itself to this new situation?
At Barcelona IVF we have adopted the following measures to guarantee greater safety in the care of our patients:
We extend the time between visits to reduce the number of patients in the waiting rooms.
We apply measures to maintain the safety distance.
All our personnel will have personal protective equipment appropriate to the risk of exposure.
Patients will have hydroalcoholic gels to wash their hands upon entering the clinic. They will be administered a mask and gloves if they do not have them.
The cleaning protocol has been adapted so that a disinfection process will be carried out on the surfaces of the rooms used after its usage.
We will perform diagnostic tests for the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus to rule out infection before treatment.
For us, being #inyourlifesdecision is exactly this, caring as much as possible about your health, of your future baby’s and the health of everyone around you.
