GGRC is a brand new word in the field of reproductive medicine, boasting a long professional past and vast experience of searching for the best, the latest approaches and technology, the most modern equipment, a team of professionals of international category, German accuracy and Georgian goodwill for the beginning of life! But this is just a short assessment of the clinic, which was created by a team of doctors with many years of experience and which has been growing continuously and rapidly since its birth.
Giorgi Archvadze, the General Director of the clinic, tells us how the three-year-old clinic became so highly trusted by patients, and what results it has achieved in the reproductive direction.
“The key to our clinic’s success is high social responsibility, and not just in words,” Giorgi tells us. “Our success is determined by satisfied patients, and when the patients see that the clinic is not a business for us, the employees of GGRC, but is our favorite profession, a job that allows us to make a childless family happy and make dreams come true.”
We promise you will regain your lost hope with us, you will learn the value of honesty, and you will acquire a friend who will take care of your healthy future!
“We promise you will regain your lost hope with us, you will learn the price of honesty, and you will acquire a friend who will take care of your healthy future!” – this is the main message of the clinic, which every employee of GGRC proves with their daily efforts.
What distinguishes your clinic from other medical centers in the field?
The Georgian-German Reproductive Center became the first clinic of this profile in Georgia to obtain ISO and American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) quality certificates, as well as a quality certificate from the Israeli Ministry of Health. The clinic, established three years ago, already has an impressive track record in terms of both business development and social responsibility.
In Georgia, only at the “Georgian-German Reproductive Medicine Center” is the selection of the protocol for maintaining and managing the reproductive function of oncology patients based on a council, with the participation of foreign and Georgian reproductive specialists, oncologists and chemotherapists. For oncology patients, germ cells are stored before chemotherapy and radiation procedures, which helps to restore and maintain the reproductive function of cancer patients after treatment. Recently, the clinic introduced the latest technology in the field of reproduction and embryology, the Time Lapse Microscope, which allows us to observe the growth and development of the embryo.
We have heard a lot about your high corporate social responsibility. Tell us about the activities of the foundation
The clinic is visited by many foreign patients. They become philanthropists with the services they receive. The amount paid by the foreign patients is accumulated in the clinic’s fund, allowing the clinic to provide financial support to Georgian patients and co-finance in vitro fertilization for Georgian couples.
With the financial support of the clinic’s internal fund, the country saw 603 new lives given.
“The foundation ‘For You’ is one year older than the clinic, its establishment brought about by the realization of the main problem of numerous childless couples who approached us during our work in various clinics,” says Clinical Director and Founder Nino Museridze, “My colleagues and I helped them as much as possible, the clinics had discounts, promotions, but in vitro fertilization is a very basic service and these people needed more effective help. That’s where the idea of creating a clinic came from. After the clinic was created, we were given the opportunity to offer co-financing to childless couples from the fund, which is filled in a very interesting way. Foreign patients pay more for medical services than local patients, and 20% of these funds are deposited into the fund, with which we then help Georgian patients. So, our foreign patients also engage in charity work in Georgia, which is very important for the Georgian demography. With the help of business partners, the foundation has fully financed the in vitro fertilization of numerous couples. Our goal is to be a good example for other companies and to promote the growth of our nation. The slogan of our company is ‘Together for the beginning of life’ – this is a business that gives amazing results with cooperation – a new life.”
The clinic is equipped with modern medical equipment, which distinguishes it and shows a focus on quality and patient satisfaction
“The main corporate, moral priority of the reproductive center involves an honest attitude towards patients, and we only turn to in vitro fertilization when other possible ways of treating the patient have been exhausted,” Giorgi Archvadze continues. “Patients who come to GGRC are greeted by a particularly warm and caring environment. In the treatment of infertility, the psychological mood of the patients is of great importance. That is why Zura Mkheidze, a psychologist at the clinic, serves the foundation’s patients free of charge and provides them with appropriate counseling. The provision of psychological support led to a 15-20% increase in the number of patients referred for infertility treatment, which also affected pregnancy outcomes.
Each patient who comes to the clinic has a free consultation with the Clinical Director, Nino Museridze. Colleagues note that Nino understands these patients best, because she herself went through this path in even more difficult times and is always a defender and supporter of their interests in the clinic.
The entire staff of GGRC is guided by the principle that finding ways to achieve desired results always leads to success. They understand best that in traveling this rather difficult route, working side by side, coordinated work is the solution, and the support of the patient is the main guide.
Tell us about your scientific activity
In order to develop and grow the field, the clinic annually hosts the international scientific conference “Infertility 35+”. This year, the conference will be held at the Sheraton Metechi hotel on September 16-17. The speakers at the conference are prominent and meritorious people in the field of reproduction and embryology. Some of them are considered founders in the field. Among them is a professor whose name is associated with the introduction of the art-method and procedure of infertility treatment. Speakers at the conference are not only engaged in active practical work in the field, but also carry out great scientific and educational activities which are invaluable to the whole world. In vitro fertilization in Georgia closely follows the scientific progress made globally, as reproduction itself is a rapidly developing field. In 21st century Georgia, this field is fully involved as part of the world’s development process, seeing Georgian professionals participating in conferences, workshops, equipment and various studies. The treatment methods used by Georgian reproductive specialists are similar to those in London, Israel and other leading clinics of the world. Conferences organized by GGRC also contribute to this.
The Center organizes monthly free regional consultation and research for childless couples, and seminars, workshops and trainings for medical personnel. Within the framework of the conference, the scientific magazine “Medical Time” is published, and the doctors of the clinic take part in world conferences and congresses with reports or posters. Soon, the center will have a residency and a training center, where it will also be possible to improve the qualifications of other doctors.
As part of GGRC’s social responsibility, a free screening day is organized every Saturday at the clinic for female patients aged 35+, where all necessary research and consultations are provided free of charge.
Your clinic will represent Georgia at the biggest European medical forum this year. Tell us about it
It is very important news that the three-year-old GGRC will present its own exhibition space at the 39th European Conference of Reproductology and Embryology, the first clinic presentation from Georgia at the ESHRE conference. Young doctors, together with experienced reproductive specialists and embryologists, will present themselves in front of Europe. This is a great responsibility and challenge, because the clinic has never presented its own exhibition space at an event of such a rank. We will do our best to present Georgia in a dignified way.
Tell us about GGRC and its innovative methods, such as stem cell and regenerative therapy
In order to overcome the problem of infertility, scientists working in the field of reproductive medicine offer us new approaches, methods and management protocols every year. Innovative approaches are born against a background of experience sharing, discussion of cases, arguments and discussions at scientific webinars and conferences. Among the recent discoveries is PRP plasma therapy. Today, PRP and stem cell regenerative therapy are considered to be the most effective methods of infertility treatment in the world, both in men and women. The PRP method does not involve drugs, invasive surgical procedures or expensive medical equipment. Platelet-rich plasma is taken from the patient’s blood and, after processing, is used to improve reproductive capacity.
The Georgian-German Reproductive Center GGRC is one of the first in the field of reproductive medicine in Georgia to introduce these innovations and gives many women another chance to reproduce.
“As soon as you step into the Georgian-German Reproductive Medicine Center, you realize that you are in the hands of kind, reliable and honest people. This is a place where you receive high-quality service based on modern guidelines and protocols; where you are listened to and understood; where you are cared for and cheered on; where the priority is the customer, patient, family and new life. The clinic’s team is made up of professional and experienced doctors, nurses, administration and financiers. The clinic is equipped with modern medical equipment, which distinguishes the clinic and shows a focus on quality and patient satisfaction.” – from a patient’s record.
The GGRC team is constantly developing to offer the best IVF experience in the Caucasus region. It has already achieved the highest quality index mark, the highest result of in vitro fertilization pregnancy, and it intends to never let the quality down. They say: “Your trust is our motivation to turn your dream into a reality.”
