THE Ministry of Health has ordered Thomson Medical Centre to immediately suspend all new assisted reproduction (AR) activities at its fertility centre, in the wake of a sperm mix-up during an in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) procedure.
The Thomson fertility centre (TFC) has also been asked to stop admitting patients for any new AR procedures, including sperm collection and processing.
Existing patients who have started AR cycles with the centre should be informed of the incident and be given a choice on whether to continue at the centre or transfer to another centre, said a statement from the MOH.The ministry has started a full investigation into the IVF incident at TFC to identify the cause of the problem.
