International Patients
A highly attractive tourist destination
Cape Town is a highly attractive tourist destination with plenty to offer its visitors. Beaches, mountains, the winelands, and the famous V&A Waterfront are all within easy reach. Our international patients regularly confirm that the beautiful surroundings contribute to a relaxed state of mind, serving as a wonderful antidote to the stress of fertility treatment. Cape Fertility is proud to be located in Cape Town, South Africa. The 2015/2016 Telegraph Travel Awards named Cape Town the Best City in the World for the fourth consecutive year. In Condé Nast’s prestigious Reader’s Choice Awards, Cape Town also earned the top honour as the number one food city in the world.

Dr. Heylen is Belgian. The clinic uses European protocols, perhaps a bit ahead of the US. The cost of IVF at Cape Fertility Clinic was half that of a US clinic—including travel, renting a car and staying in a private cottage in Cape Town for a month. conceptionstory.com
