IVF is to breed the fertilized eggs in the laboratory to a certain stage and then transfer them to the mother to achieve pregnancy.

Certification of scientific research and medical institutions: IVF technology needs to be carried out in authorized medical institutions, which usually need to be recognized and supervised by the government to ensure the legality and safety of technology operation. For example, domestic Peking Union Medical College Hospital and Shanghai First Maternal and Infant Health Hospital can carry out IVF technology.
