Hanoi (VNA) – A group of four Australian doctors
and experts visited in Phu Nhuan district, Ho Chi Minh City, to
learn from the Vietnamese side’s experience in biphasic in vitro maturation
() from August 13-14.
The Australian delegation was headed by Prof. William
Ledger, head of the Discipline of Obstetrics & Gynaecology in the School of
Women’s & Children’s Health and head of the Fertility and Research Centre
at the University of New South Wales.
The doctors and experts are scheduled to conduct the
first cases of CAPA-IVM, in which Vietnam is taking the lead worldwide, in
Australia in September.
The Vietnamese research group, led by Associate
Prof. Vuong Thi Ngoc Lan from HCM City University of Medicine and Pharmacy and
Ho Manh Tuong, General Secretary of the HCM City Reproductive Endocrinology and
Infertility Association (HOSREM) and head of the HOPE Research Centre at My Duc
Hospital, has 12 articles on IVM, especially CAPA-IVM, published internationally.
IVM is a technique to obtain oocytes that are
developed in vitro prior to fertilisation with sperm in a laboratory with an
embryo transferred back into a patient’s uterus with the aim of an ongoing
pregnancy and live birth.
CAPA-IVM is a relatively new protocol using an
advanced culture medium that improves the in-vitro development of immature
oocytes potentially resulting in a higher number of quality embryos per
patient.
scientific cooperation programme between Vietnam and Belgium.
Over the past five years, experts from Indonesia, Malaysia,
Australia, Belgium, Denmark and the US visited My Duc Hospital to learn from
their Vietnamese peers’ experience in this field.
The hospital will also welcome French and Turkish experts
in the time ahead./.
