Russia – Belarus. Sharing experience

In November, 2015 a new clinic for IVF was opened in Vitebsk, being the first one in town as well as in the whole north-western region of Belarus. The clinic is overseen by Israeli scientists – the best-known fertility and embryology specialists Professor Dov Feldberg and Yona Barak.

Our colleague, Ilya Volodyaev, was invited to give a lecture on modern fertilization techniques at the conference at Vitebsk State Medical University that was dedicated to the opening of the Bina clinic.

Along with the overseers of the clinic, the Israeli specialists Dov Feldberg and Jona Barak, our colleague Ilya Volodyaev was also invited to participate in the conduct of the first cycles.
