Fertility Clinics in Venezuela

Venezuela once had a robust private fertility sector, particularly in Caracas, but the ongoing economic and political crisis since 2013 has severely eroded the sector. Power outages, medication shortages, brain drain of specialist physicians, and hyperinflation have all hit fertility clinics hard. Nevertheless, several clinics continue operating in Caracas and a handful of secondary cities. Pricing is now often quoted in USD, and private fertility treatment is accessible only to a narrow upper-income segment. Venezuela has no national ART law — regulation is ad hoc and based on bioethics guidelines from medical associations.
