Clinical technologist Stacey Wilson joins Africa Melane to discuss the profound impact that IVF has on families.Brown was born on 25 July 1978 following the first-ever successful IVF procedure.
Since then, millions of IVF children have been born all over the world and it has become a successful treatment for infertility globally."Unfortunatley in South Africa, we don't produce any of the materials that we need in order to do the procedure. Everything we need is outsourced from overseas and that puts huge cost on the companies running it.""With In-Vitro - that's just a Latin term for 'in glass', so outside the body.
