Czech Republic At A Glance

The City Of Zlin In Moravia

Moravia is one of the main regions of The Czech Republic which takes up much of the east of the country.  The city of Zlin is found in this area, and its growth and prosperity can be almost entirely tied to the growth of the Bata Shoe Company starting in the late nineteenth century and continuing to present day.

Fertility Tourism and Czech Republic IVF

Due to its location in Central Europe, its open laws around fertility treatments, and the general strength of other currencies against the Czech koruna, the country has emerged as one of the leading destinations for fertility tourism.  Hundreds, if not thousands, of European and North American couples flock to the Czech Republic every year for IVF and egg donation.

The country has particularly emerged as a leader in egg donation for couples who can not get pregnant using their own eggs.  With positive laws around donation and a Caucaisan population that is in high demand due to regulations in many other countries, it makes an attractive destination.
