A
BABY conceived using in vitro fertilization (IFV) was born at the Central
Women’s Hospital (Yangon) yesterday, making it the second birth the hospital
has performed through assisted reproductive technology.
The
labour and delivery team led by Prof Dr Daw Khin Latt successfully performed
the caesarean delivery of the baby girl at 8:36 am yesterday. She weighed 5
pounds, 2 ounces at birth.
Dr
Daw Khin Pyone Kyi, the hospital’s medical superintendent, explained couples
who have trouble conceiving children normally try having a test-tube baby. The
Fertility Centre of the Central Women’s Hospital was established in 5 February
2016 and the first test tube baby was born on 12 June 2018 with the aid of
Heinen Medicine University.
There
are many methods involved in performing IVF but they also carry numerous
complications, such as multiple births, spread of infectious diseases, and
ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome.
For
a successful IFV, we require not only the expertise of our obstetricians and
gynecologists but also the high standard global medicine, said Daw Khin Pyone
Kyi.
She
added that the Fertility Centre still needs special equipment and modern
laboratories, despite the Ministry of Health and Sports providing the best
medical equipment it can afford.
U
Maung Maung Thant, the father of the second test-tube baby, said: “We are from
Insein. We had the baby after nine and half years in our marriage. We tried to
have a baby at clinics. It didn’t work. We then consulted the Fertility Centre
of the Central Women’s Hospital. We are happy as our first baby girl was
successfully born this morning”.
