9.baby is a network of specialist fertility clinics, spread across Italy, with a central hub in the city of Bologna, at the Centre for Reproductive Medicine ‘Tecnobios Procreazione’, and a brand new Centre for Woman Health in Cattolica (Rimini), named ‘Extra Omnes’.
9.Baby was established in the early 90’s and have been looking after fertility patients for more than 30 years. Their first centre, in Bologna, was founded by one of the Italian pioneers of Assisted Reproduction, Professor Carlo Flamigni, who dedicated his career to this subject. In 2022, 9.baby network has become part of GeneraLife.
9.Baby fertility clinics take care of people, on the road to having a baby, and through whatever difficulties and obstacles they may have to face. The clinicians and laboratory’s specialists are ready to help identify the best way forwards, and to help their patients have the baby that they so desire.
They combine the latest technologies, established protocols, and of course care and compassion to create the essential ‘ingredients’ to get the ‘recipe’ right for each couple.
Every couple who wants a baby may need the help of science to let the stork fly: 9.baby is here to give couples all the help they deserve.
