One of the most common questions international patients ask is whether they can use donor eggs or sperm in Cyprus. The answer is yes—and Cyprus is widely recognized as a trusted destination for donor-assisted IVF. Here’s everything you need to know.
Q1: Is egg and sperm donation legal in Cyprus?
Yes. Cyprus allows both egg and sperm donation for IVF treatment. Unlike in the U.S., where laws vary by state, Cyprus provides a clear national framework that makes planning much simpler for international patients.
Q2: Are donations anonymous or open?
In Cyprus, all donations are strictly anonymous. This means:
-
Donor identities remain confidential
-
Patients receive important medical and genetic background information, but not personal details
-
Donors cannot claim parental rights, and children cannot trace the donor later
This legal clarity provides reassurance and protects both patients and donors.
Q3: Who can access donor treatments in Cyprus?
Donor-assisted IVF is available to:
-
Single women
-
Heterosexual couples
-
Same-sex female couples (through egg or sperm donation)
This inclusive policy makes Cyprus one of the more accessible destinations for patients from North America.
Q4: How are donors screened?
Donors in Cyprus must pass strict medical and psychological evaluations, including:
-
Blood tests for infectious diseases
-
Genetic screening for hereditary conditions
-
Fertility and hormone assessments
Clinics follow international standards to ensure donors are healthy and suitable. Patients can choose based on phenotypic traits such as hair or eye color, ensuring a comfortable match.
Q5: What about embryo donation?
Yes, Cyprus also allows embryo donation, where unused embryos from previous IVF cycles can be donated anonymously to other patients. This option provides an additional path for families who need both egg and sperm donation.
