Due to the rapid spread of the COVID-19 virus, social distancing and quarantine measures are in effect around the world. Ukraine is no exception. ALEMONA has gathered important information and resources to help clarify the situation and identify next steps in surrogacy programmes for both intendend parents and surrogate mothers.
A new norm in our lives is building awareness about the risks associated with a pandemic. In this section, you will find important information about surrogacy during COVID-19.
Medical institutions in Ukraine are working as usual in compliance with all sanitary and epidemiological standards. All treatment programmes with ART methods are being carried out, including surrogacy programmes.
The following rules are currently established in clinics:
Before starting the surrogacy programme during quarantine, you need to understand the risks associated with this decision, namely the difficulty of leaving your country of residence and entering the territory of Ukraine.
In the child carrying contracts we have in place with surrogate mothers, we try to predict all possible risks associated with COVID-19, as well as the introduction of any restrictions and any potential delays in the arrival of future parents before the birth of a child.
It is very important not to panic at this time. You can always contact the team here at ALEMONA, including programme managers and coordinators, for help and support.
