All fertility treatments and assisted reproductive technologies are broadly covered by Order no. 248 from the Minister of Healthcare. The Parliament of Lithuania recently debated an Assisted Reproduction technology bill, which exactly describes all fertility treatment methods, rules and regulations in detail, but the law, and any changes to it, hasn’t been passed yet.

Lithuania has only a few fertility clinics, but these have a well established reputation.

According to the current regulations egg, sperm or embryo donation is not allowed but legislation could change in the future. IVF surrogacy is not permitted and no singles or same sex couples are considered eligible.

The majority of clinics can offer many methods of assisted reproduction and fertility treatments, including in vitro fertilisation (IVF), intrauterine insemination using sperm from the partner (IUI), surgical sperm retrieval (PESA, TESA, MESA), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), assisted hatching (AH), blastocyst transfer and frozen embryo transfer.

• Waiting lists are virtually non-existent
• Some clinics provide initial consultations in London.
• Fertility clinics use the most modern equipment and methods such as IUI EVIE pump, PICSI, IUTPI etc. Clinic staff often speak English, Russian and Lithuanian.
• The cost of IVF, IUI and other services are among the lowest in EU, which makes Lithuania a very attractive destination, especially for couples which want to stay in Europe for treatment, where patients have the same rights and clinics have to follow strict regulations.

The healthcare system in Lithuania (a EU and NATO member) is designed according to the basic principles common to European cultures. Universal access to basic medical services is granted to the whole population. Basic medical services are mainly free of charge for the consumer and mostly financed according to a solidarity-based scheme of statutory health insurance operational since 1997.
The region’s leading, most reputable doctors usually work in hospitals as well as private clinics where standards are extremely high. Clinics have state of the art equipment and are able to offer the most recent methods of treatment, especially in the fertility field. Lithuania is top ranked for the quality of Health and Hygiene in the world. It’s capital Vilnius is one of the greenest European capitals – the perfect place for starting a family, medical tourism and recovery.

As a result, Lithuania is now an increasingly popular destination in Europe for medical tourism, especially infertility, dental, obesity treatments, cosmetic, heart, eye and orthopaedic surgery, health screening and diagnostics. It is within easy reach of many EU cities, and due to the lower cost of living, Vilnius and Kaunas have become destinations for medical treatment, as well as for tourists and business.

Fertility clinics in Lithuania are privately owned. The clinics have experience in providing treatment with high success rates to foreign patients, who come to avoid long waiting lists or very high costs.
Lithuania is particularly popular with patients from UK, Russia, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Belarus as it's costs are among the lowest in EU

Lithuania is not only a great destination for its high standards in infertility treatment, but also as a country as well. With plenty of spa resorts and beaches, cities to explore and culture to soak up, you may want to stay longer than planned.

Lithuania is a great cultural and historic place to visit. Located in the geographical centre of Europe, with great transport links, it's a wonderfully diverse destination, from the Baroque and Gothic architecture of Vilnius, the capital city, to the country’s stunning forests, lakes, coastline and castles, not forgetting its exquisite cuisine.
Vilnius is also well-known in the world for its extraordinarily beautiful old town inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Lithuania is a relatively new destination for UK based medical tourists, but those from other European countries have been going to take advantage of the superior care there for years. It is reliable, safe, comfortable and adheres to strict EU healthcare regulations. It has world class medical professionals and facilities, and the prices for medical treatments (along with most things) are between 30% and 50% cheaper.
