            [title] => GENTIS Participates in the 11th Conference on Infertility and Assisted Reproductive Techniques
            [description] => On June 9, GENTIS attended the 11th Conference on Infertility and Assisted Reproductive Techniques, organized by the Ho Chi Minh City Society for Reproductive Medicine. With the theme "Advancing to Global Standards through Evidence-Based Medicine," this conference provided GENTIS with a valuable opportunity to exchange knowledge, update on new trends, and explore medical advancements and the application of modern technology in the field of assisted reproduction.

            [content] => 
The conference saw the participation of over 500 leading doctors and experts from hospitals, assisted reproduction centers, and testing centers across the country. Representing GENTIS at the event was Mr. Do Manh Ha (CEO) along with a team of product research and development specialists.
The 11th Conference on Infertility and Assisted Reproductive Techniques featured four sessions, including 18 specialized presentations, research reports, and discussions led by top doctors and experts in the fields of reproduction and assisted reproduction in Vietnam. The discussions were lively, with many questions raised and directly addressed.
Dr. Nguyen Van Thong, Specialist level II  from Hung Vuong Hospital, with the presentation “Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Microdeletions: Where Do We Stand?”
One notable presentation was by Dr. Nguyen Van Thong from Hung Vuong Hospital, titled “Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Microdeletions: Where Do We Stand?” This presentation received high praise from leading professors and experts in the field. Dr. Thong emphasized the importance of screening and diagnosing microdeletions in embryos, as these abnormalities can cause severe complications, often affecting the intellectual and motor development of children after birth. Moreover, these abnormalities cannot be detected through standard tests like karyotyping, and their occurrence does not vary with maternal age.
Therefore, preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) is considered the optimal solution for selecting genetically healthy embryos, increasing the chances of successful pregnancy through in vitro fertilization (IVF), and ensuring that children are born free from screened genetic syndromes.
Dr. Thong shared that he has utilized the PGT-Max 1 test in real clinical cases at Hung Vuong Hospital.
Dr. Thong further explained, “Preimplantation genetic testing abnormalities are classified into three groups: PGT-A, PGT-M, and PGT-SR. PGT-A is used to diagnose chromosomal aneuploidies, PGT-M is for diagnosing single-gene disorders, and PGT-SR is for detecting structural abnormalities larger than 5Mb. Currently, structural abnormalities smaller than 2-5Mb remain a gray area that we have yet to fully explore.” This highlights the need for solutions to address these uncharted areas.
In response to this need, GENTIS has developed the PGT-Max 1 test, which detects aneuploidies across all 24 chromosomes, structural chromosomal abnormalities (such as duplications and deletions) greater than 5Mb, and certain common microdeletions larger than 2Mb, including the 22q11.2 deletion (related to DiGeorge syndrome), 1p36 deletion (related to 1p36 deletion syndrome), and other common microdeletions. This application offers the highest resolution currently available in Vietnam.
To achieve this breakthrough, the GENTIS research team developed the test using high-resolution Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, surpassing the resolution of standard PGT tests, and applied specialized bioinformatics software capable of detecting microdeletions as small as 2Mb—something not possible with other common PGT tests on the market.
GENTIS’s Involvement in the 11th Conference on Infertility and Assisted Reproductive Techniques
GENTIS is a pioneer in PGT testing in Vietnam, with over 10 years of experience in the field. The company follows a standardized testing process and operates a laboratory system that meets the necessary standards for PGT. GENTIS was the first unit in Vietnam to receive ISO 15189:2012 certification for PGT testing.
Additionally, GENTIS has a team of experienced research and development specialists who continuously update the latest features of PGT tests. This is essential for the future, as it will allow for the development of higher-resolution PGT tests capable of detecting more abnormalities. The ultimate goal is that every embryo transferred is the best possible one, increasing pregnancy success rates and ensuring the birth of healthy babies.

            [title] => GENTIS sponsored and presented at the VSSM 2024 Conference.
            [description] => On the afternoon of June 8, 2024, during the National Scientific Conference of the Viet Nam Society for Sexual Medicine: VSSM 2024, Dr. Pham Dinh Minh (Director of R&D at GENTIS and Director of the GENTIS Genetic Counseling Center) presented a report in Session 4A - "Reproductive Endocrinology and Sexual Function", titled "Genetic Testing for Identifying Abnormalities in Sexual Development and the Fundamental Principles for Genetic Counseling". The conference took place over two days, June 7 and 8, 2024, featuring both a continuous training program and an official Scientific Conference.

            [content] => 
At the VSSM 2024 Conference, Dr. Pham Dinh Minh stated that there are numerous factors contributing to abnormalities in sexual development, including genetic and environmental influences. Nowadays, the most effective method for screening and diagnosing genetic abnormalities related to sexual development is through testing.
Additionally, Dr. Minh provided distinguished conference attendees with information on several tests that aid in screening and accurately diagnosing abnormalities in sexual development, thereby helping clinicians determine treatment plans for individual patients. He shared details about some advanced tests in this field that GENTIS is implementing currently.
These include embryo screening with PGTest, non-invasive prenatal screening NIPT GenEva, karyotyping, testing for the presence/mutations of genes such as AZF, the cystic fibrosis gene CFTR, mutations in the SRD5A2 gene, and panel gene for male infertility,... These genetic tests serve as a guiding framework for clinicians to diagnose the underlying causes of sexual development abnormalities and to select appropriate treatment options for patients.
Dr. Pham Dinh Minh (Director of R&D at GENTIS) presented a report titled “Genetic Testing for Identifying Abnormalities in Sexual Development and the Fundamental Principles for Genetic Counseling.”
In addition, Dr. Minh emphasized the importance of genetic counseling in managing and caring for patients with sexual development abnormalities. He noted that in line with global trends, the GENTIS Genetic Counseling Center was established with a highly specialized team of geneticists and doctors to provide genetic counseling support. The center acts as a bridge between clinicians and genetic testing laboratories, collaborating with other specialties to diagnose and manage sexual development abnormalities as well as other genetic disorders.
This presentation garnered significant attention from distinguished attendees at the conference due to its relevance and practical implications for the examination and treatment of sexual development abnormalities nowadays.
In recent years, the field of Sexology has received special attention from both professionals and the community. The VSSM 2024 program featured 48 scientific presentations on in-depth research topics such as hypogonadism, male and female sexual health,... while also updating on international news and achievements in Sexology. The chairmen and speakers included Professors, Associate Professors, Doctors, and leading Physicians in the field of Sexology from across the country.
.Mai Ba Tien Dung, Ph.D., M.D - Binh Dan Hospital presented a report titled “Survey of Gene Mutations in the Non-Obstructive Azoospermia Patient Group Using Next-Generation Sequencing Technology”
Currently, the rate of male infertility is rising, but not all cases are due to common causes such as AZF microdeletions or CFTR gene mutations. Various other factors contribute to male infertility, including non-obstructive azoospermia, high rates of sperm abnormalities, poor motility, and suboptimal spermatogenesis,... which may be linked to mutations in genes such as AK7, AR, AKR1C4, BRDT, FSHB, and FSHR,... Investigating these genes can often be challenging and costly. At GENTIS, the Fertiscan test analyzes 120 genes simultaneously to evaluate genetic causes of infertility in both males and females. GENTIS is the first unit in Vietnam to implement this test.
At the conference, the presentations in the Andrology session attracted significant interest from many attendees. Notably, Nguyen Tien Dung, M.Sc., M.D. (Viet Duc University Hospital) presented a report on "Sexually Transmitted Infections”. In this presentation, Dr. Dung provided detailed insights into the characteristics and causes of these infections, as well as methods for screening and diagnosing sexually transmitted diseases. Currently, testing is the only definitive way to confirm whether an individual is infected.
Nguyen Tien Dung, M.Sc., M.D. (Viet Duc University Hospital) presented a report on "Sexually Transmitted Infections”.
Remarkably, Dr. Dung highly praised GENTIS's STD testing, which simultaneously identifies 12 pathogens responsible for sexually transmitted infections. He explained that GENTIS employs real time-PCR technology to detect and quantify viral and bacterial DNA in samples from urine, urethral discharge, and vaginal swabs using the PANA RealTyper™ STD kit (PANAGENE), which has received IVD certification with sensitivity and specificity exceeding 99%. This approach optimizes accurate diagnostic timing for doctors and reduces costs for patients. The presentation was considered highly practical, accurately reflecting the current needs in the field of andrology in Vietnam.
With the aim of further development, GENTIS hopes to receive more collaborations from doctors and experts to expand the presence in the fields of andrology and sexology. As a sponsor, GENTIS had the opportunity to introduce the leading testing services to esteemed doctors and specialists in andrology, sexology, and obstetrics.
GENTIS was delighted to see the attendees at the VSSM 2024 Conference show interest in the company’s booth. In particular, when visiting the GENTIS booth, doctors and experts had the opportunity to participate in a mini-game and a lucky wheel, receiving valuable gifts such as Sperm DNA testing vouchers and books on male infertility,...
VSSM 2024 provided GENTIS with an opportunity to update the knowledge in the fields of obstetrics, andrology, and sexology, as well as to learn lots of experiences ,and gain valuable insights from experts to enhance service quality. Moreover, it was also a chance for GENTIS to network and directly introduce the services to esteemed delegates.

            [description] => ASPIRE is the largest and most prestigious annual conference specializing in assisted reproduction in the Asia-Pacific region. This year, the ASPIRE conference was held in Manila, Philippines from May 23 to 26, 2024. GENTIS is honored to participate in the ASPIRE conference with a poster report entitled "Clinical outcomes of embryo transfer based on morphological assessment combined with non-invasive preimplantation genetic testing (NIPGT): A study in Vietnam". (Clinical outcomes of embryo transfer based on morphological assessment combined with non-invasive preimplantation genetic testing (NIPGT): A study in Vietnam).

            [content] => 

The presentation of GENTIS was showcased in the 2024 ASPIRE conference
The conference attracted nearly 1,200 delegates who are experts in assisted reproduction in the region and around the world to attend. At the Conference, GENTIS shared an in-depth topical and scientific research in collaboration with Hanh Phuc International Hospital published in the form of a poster: "Clinical results of embryo transfer based on morphological evaluation combined with non-invasive preimplantation gene testing (NIPGT): A study in Vietnam".
The study evaluated clinical outcomes in two groups: IVF based on embryo morphological assessment alone (control group) and embryo selection group based on embryo morphological assessment combined with niPGT results (ASEM test). The results of the study showed that the proportion of children living in the control group and the study group was 38.6% and 41.1%, respectively. The results of the study also showed that the miscarriage rate in the study group was 0% (no miscarriages were recorded in the study group) and in the control group was 12.9%.
With the results of this initial study, niPGT has the potential to increase the birth rate, especially reduce the miscarriage rate. This is of great significance in helping patients not have to experience the physical and mental trauma of miscarriage. The topic is highly appreciated, very practical, attracting a lot of attention from colleagues in the region and around the world.
Notably, the GENTIS report was in the Top 10 best poster reports voted by the ASPIRE Scientific Council. This is a great honor and a motivation to help the product development department of GENTIS continue to research, innovate, create, and offer valuable tests to Vietnamese citizens.

Besides, it is within the framework of scientific research cooperation between Hanoi Hospital of Andrology and Infertility and GENTIS Company, Specialist level 1 Doctor Nguyen Thanh Trung reported at the hall on "Clinical outcomes of mosaic embryo transfer patients". The results of the study show that for patients who do not have diploid embryos for embryo transfer, embryo transfer with mosaic results can be considered. The report attracted the attention of a large number of delegates participating in the conference because the research results brought a lot of impressive information about the rate of implantation, miscarriage, and survived pregnancy when evaluating the clinical outcomes after mosaic embryo transfer.
The research team reported "Clinical outcomes of patients with mosaic embryo transfer"
Moreover, GENTIS is also very honored when the company's Fertiscan test is applied in practice by Dinh Huu Viet, MSc.MD. - Hanoi Hospital of Andrology and Infertility to find out the cause of genetic infertility in men, contributing to improving the effectiveness of diagnosis as well as counseling. treatment for infertile couples at the Hospital. Even more amazing is the results of the Fertiscan test of GENTIS at Hanoi Hospital of Andrology and Infertility which was published by Dr. Viet in the report "Genetic analysis results in patient with non-obstructive azoospermia" at the ASPIRE conference. The report attracted the attention of a large number of delegates in the hall.
Dinh Huu Viet, MSc.MD. - Hanoi Hospital of Andrology and Infertility presented the report "Results of genetic analysis of infertility in patients with unknown causes"
ASPIRE 2024 is one of many international conferences that GENTIS regularly attends and reports to colleagues and friends from countries around the world. This shows that GENTIS is a prestigious, professional and developed unit not only in Vietnam but also internationally.
Hoang Thi Nhung, MSc. (representative of GENTIS) and a team of doctors at Hanoi Hospital of Andrology and Infertility participated in the 2024 ASPIRE Conference
In addition to the development and improvement of the quality of testing services, scientific research is also one of the spearheads that GENTIS pays special attention to, making development efforts to improve professional capacity as well as update knowledge and practical application to bring success to patients in the cycle of in vitro fertilization.

MC and experts in the talk show "Genetic counseling for rare disease prevention and preimplantation testing PGT-M: Factors that determine the success and quality assurance of testing"
Currently, pre-screening tests of pre-implantation for monogenic diseases (PGT-M) are no longer strange in assisted reproduction and in vitro fertilization. PGT-M embryo screening combined with in vitro fertilization has become a lifeline method for many families who unfortunately carry the rare disease gene.
However, the application of PGT-M technique to screen embryos carrying rare monogenic diseases has not been implemented in many places. And if there are no screening strategies to prevent the transmission of diseases to the next generation, perhaps these diseases will no longer be "rare", but will be a problem in the community, affecting the quality of the population.
According to the European Union, a disease known as a rare disease has an incidence of less than 1 in 2000 people (per 2000 people). In the United States, a rare disease is defined as one that affects less than 200,000 Americans. 8 out of 10 rare diseases have genetic causes.
Genetic causes include monogenic pathologies, chromosomal pathologies, or extra-genetic pathologies. Therefore, not all rare diseases are genetic and not all genetic diseases are indicated for PGT-M.
The PGT-M test is currently indicated for monogenic diseases, based on the severity of the disease and considering whether the technical issue is feasible. Therefore, when indicating PGT-M testing, close coordination between clinicians, geneticists and genetic testing labs is needed to have the best indication.
Assoc.Prof.Tran Van Khoa, PhD.MD. shared extremely valuable knowledge in the talk show
During the talk show, Assoc.Prof.Tran Van Khoa, PhD.MD. shared extremely useful instructions on genetic counseling for clinicians and patients who need to prevent rare diseases. Associate Professor Khoa said: "One of the important points of the PGT-M test is to determine the cause of the disease. A clinically accurate diagnosis will help guide what type of test, what gene or group of genes to target, or which test technique to be able to detect the cause of the disease.
From those results, it will help the doctor a lot in the next steps to be able to conduct the PGT-M test. In addition, geneticists must also work with clinicians and embryologists to provide full information to infertile couples so that they can fully anticipate the limitations of the PGT-M test as well as the difficulties and challenges when screening embryos, embryo implantation, prenatal diagnosis,..."
In addition, Nguyen Thi Hue, MSc.  (Genetic Consultant at GENTIS Genetic Counseling Center) also pointed out the subjects who are recommended to take the PGT-M test. Specifically, those are couples who have given birth to children with monogenic diseases, families with a history of monogenic diseases, parents who are benign carriers of the same genetic disease, so they should perform the method of selecting embryos that do not carry the disease gene by pre-implantation genetic test (PGT-M) to select the best embryo in order to give birth to healthy babies.
Master Nguyen Quang Vinh (Director of GENTIS) also emphasized: "PGT-M is one of the most difficult tests in the field of assisted reproduction. PGT-M can help families give birth to babies who do not carry the disease gene or have inherited diseases from their parents. Since then, the number of disease genes in the human population will decrease day by day. GENTIS has been performing PGT-M tests since 2017 and is currently researching and deploying more than 100 monogenous genetic diseases.
At GENTIS, PGT-M testing is performed in an ISO-compliant laboratory by NGS, Sanger or PCR gene sequencing methods by skilled technicians and experienced analysts. After that, the genetic consultant will make a final conclusion and send it to the clinician to advise the patient, thereby transferring the embryo without carrying the disease gene into the mother's uterus."
Experts have shared, multi-dimensional perspectives, positive opinions, solved the questions of the audience and created an attraction for the Talkshow
With the desire to help infertile couples give birth to healthy babies, GENTIS always invests in the most modern equipment in the world and researches and develops PGT-M tests for rare diseases to support clinicians in the treatment of infertility.
Based on that desire, the Talkshow "Genetic counseling for rare disease prevention and pre-implantation testing of PGT-M: Factors that determine the success and quality assurance of testing" was organized, in order to provide intuitive and easy-to-understand knowledge, helping couples always be confident on the journey of "finding a child".
Hopefully, the sharing, multi-dimensional perspectives, and practical experiences of Assoc.Prof.Tran Van Khoa, PhD.MD., Nguyen Quang Vinh, MSc. and Nguyen Thi Hue, MSc. have helped unfortunate couples  carrying rare disease genes to have more energy and confidence on the journey to find healthy "little angels".

            [title] => GENTIS Introduces Expanded Thalassemia Testing Package at Lac Viet Friendship Hospital
            [description] => On the afternoon of May 22nd, with the aim of enhancing the professional knowledge and updating the latest advancements in the diagnosis and treatment of thalassemia for medical professionals at Lac Viet Friendship Hospital, GENTIS collaborated with the hospital to organize a workshop introducing the expanded thalassemia testing. This meaningful event aimed to help healthcare providers understand the importance of thalassemia screening and take practical actions to effectively prevent this genetic disease.

            [content] => 

The program was attended by Dr. Nguyen Ngoc Anh, Head of the IVF Department, and more than 15 nurses, doctors, and embryologists specializing in assisted reproduction at Lac Viet Friendship Hospital. Representing GENTIS were Nguyen Thi Hue, MSc.,MD. and Nguyen Thi Huyen, MSc.,MD., R&D Specialist and Genetic Consultant.
At the workshop, Dr. Hue (GENTIS) presented a detailed overview of thalassemia and the latest advancements in genetic testing. Dr. Hue explained that thalassemia is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder related to hemoglobin abnormalities. Specifically, it involves the partial or complete reduction in the production of globin chains, resulting in the defective synthesis of one or more globin chains. Thalassemia types are classified and named based on the affected globin chain, with alpha thalassemia and beta thalassemia being the most common clinical presentations.

Vietnam is one of the countries with the highest prevalence of thalassemia gene carriers in the world, with approximately 14 million individuals carrying the gene. People with the disease and carriers can be found in all provinces and cities, across all ethnic groups nationwide.
Notably, thalassemia has imposed a significant burden on the health, mental well-being, and finances of patients and their families. This disease is a social issue that severely impacts the economy, quality of life, and future generations.
However, thalassemia can be effectively prevented through simple and affordable genetic screening tests. Therefore, young people and those of reproductive age, regardless of their location or ethnicity, should undergo thalassemia genetic testing to prevent the birth of affected children.
Currently, thalassemia diagnosis can be performed at many hospitals and testing centers, including GENTIS. Dr. Hue shared, "At GENTIS, we utilize the most advanced testing methods to enhance the efficiency of our tests. Sample collection is performed by experienced technicians. If the test results indicate that the patient carries the thalassemia gene, GENTIS's team of genetic counselors will provide personalized advice to improve the quality of treatment."
Understanding the importance of thalassemia testing in controlling, treating, and preventing the disease for future generations, GENTIS has launched an expanded thalassemia testing package.
Specifically, this test can detect 5 mutations related to alpha thalassemia: -αSEA, -α3.7, -α4.2, CS, and QS, and over 800 mutations located in the coding region of the HBB gene that have been reported in databases related to beta thalassemia and hemoglobinopathies, including 16 common mutations such as CD41/42, CD43, IVS-II-654, -28, -29, CD71/72, CD26, CD17, CD14/15, CD27/28, CAP, Int, IVS-I-1(G-T), IVS-I-1(G-A), IVS-I-5, and CD31. Other mutations include point mutations, deletions, and short insertions (less than 4 nucleotides) in the coding region and nearby introns (-10/+10 nucleotides from the exon) of the HBB gene. A negative result does not exclude the possibility of the sample carrying additional deletions or insertions larger than 4 nucleotides.

With the goal of increasing the success rate of infertility treatment and helping couples having healthy babies, GENTIS has applied the latest technologies and personalized treatment protocols to achieve optimal outcomes. Accordingly, PGT-M-Thalassemia testing at GENTIS allows doctors to identify the genetic information of embryos and select embryos that do not carry the disease before embryo transfer. This technique helps prevent the transmission of genetic diseases and reduces the rate of pregnancy termination due to genetic disorders, including thalassemia.


Following Dr. Hue's presentation, the hospital's physicians engaged in a lively question-and-answer session related to thalassemia testing. Dr. Ngoc Anh expressed particular interest in the expanded thalassemia testing package. In response to Dr. Nguyen's inquiry, Dr. Huyen (GENTIS) explained that at GENTIS, the expanded thalassemia testing package is performed using whole-exon amplification of the HBB gene and sequencing on a US-based NGS system, achieving an accuracy of up to 99%. Furthermore, GENTIS has a team of genetic counselors who provide pre-, during, and post-test counseling to support clinicians in developing the best monitoring and treatment strategies for patients.
Hopefully after this workshop, GENTIS and Lac Viet Friendship Hospital will further develop their collaboration for mutual benefits.

            [description] => On the morning of May 19, 2024, the Hanoi Andrology and Infertility Hospital successfully held the Closing Ceremony for the 2024 Golden Week Program and the 15th Anniversary (2009 – 2024) with the theme: "Lighting Up the Dreams of Infertile Families.”


            [content] => 
GENTIS is honored to be the main sponsor of the program, accompanying the hospital in spreading humanitarian values and sharing love with the infertile community, along with meaningful reunions of hundreds of couples who have successfully undergone assisted reproductive treatments at the hospital.

The program was organized with thousands of guests attending, including Prof. Nguyen Dinh Tao, PhD.MD. – President of Hanoi Society of Assisted Reproduction; Assoc.Prof.Nguyen Quang, PhD. – President of Vietnam Society for Sexual Medicine;... and the leadership of Hanoi Andrology and Infertility Hospital: Mr. Le Trung Hieu – Chairman of the Board of Directors, Le Thi Thu Hien, MSc.MD. – Medical Director, Specialist level 1 Pham Van Huong, MD. – Deputy Medical Director and Head of the Assisted Reproduction Department;... among many other infertile couples from across the country.

At the opening of the ceremony, Mr. Nguyen Van Cuong – Executive Director of the hospital, said, "With the core values of 'Dedication – Trust – Quality' embedded in all our activities, the hospital has successfully performed tens of thousands of IVF cycles with a high success rate. Alongside professional development, the hospital continuously strives to improve services, invest in modern equipment, and optimize treatment effectiveness to provide international-standard service experiences at an affordable cost for the majority of the population."

The year 2024 marks the 10th year of the “Golden Week” program. The positive response and support from the community have motivated the hospital to continue implementing it over the years. Since 2015, thousands of couples have received support from the “Golden Week” program of Hanoi Andrology and Infertility Hospital, with over 50 disadvantaged families receiving 100% IVF financial aid, resulting in the birth of 59 babies; more than 400 cases of free services through file review with a total support value of billions of VND; nearly 600 lucky support packages worth from 5 to 100 million VND.

Le Thi Thu Hien, MSc.MD. - Medical Director of the hospital said: “… We are truly happy because the Golden Week not only brings humanitarian values to the community but also serves as a bridge for everyone to understand and share with infertile families longing for children, breaking down psychological barriers, social prejudices, and spreading love in the community.”
This year, the program took place over two weeks, from May 6 to May 19, 2024. To celebrate the hospital’s 15th anniversary, the "Golden Week 2024" increased the number of support packages covering 100% of IVF costs from 10 to 15 cases, through a file approval process. Additionally, the program offered 105 other fully funded cases, creating a humanitarian journey, a unique mark of AF HANOI, helping thousands of infertile families across the country.

The desire to have children always lingers and creates an invisible pressure on infertile couples. Many families turn to methods such as in vitro fertilization or artificial insemination, but fail multiple times due to carrying genetic disorders like hemophilia, spinal muscular atrophy, etc. Understanding these hardships and desiring to assist families on their journey to parenthood, GENTIS has joined this major event as the main sponsor, providing various forms of support.
Sharing about the program, Mr. Do Manh Ha – CEO of GENTIS, expressed his great honor in partnering with it. This is an incredibly meaningful program aimed at helping infertile couples on their journey to have children. He hopes that GENTIS will always be a long-term companion with the hospital to contribute to supporting difficult and infertile families and turning the dream of parenthood into reality. 
In the future, GENTIS promises to continuously strive, update, and develop more research and tests to best serve infertile couples, working together to achieve the sacred dream for all families across the country.
