Barbados Is Proud of Leading Medical Facility

LONDON, February 28, 2011 - Barbados Fertility Centre is celebrating this week after receiving the
gold seal of approval from Joint Commission International (JCI), who have
reaccredited Barbados Fertility Centre (BFC), meaning the clinic has
maintained the highest standards since the gold seal was first awarded to
them in 2007.

Ann Jacobson, Executive Director at JCI, said, "BFC is focusing on this
most challenging goal - to continuously raise quality to higher levels." Ms
Jacobson went on to congratulate the team at BFC for this significant
achievement.

JCI is the US health accreditation programme that set health care
industry standards across the world, to give patients assurance that medical
establishments have undergone stringent testing.

BFC were tested for patient's pain assessment & management, risk
assessment prior to treatments and medical procedures, storage and handling
of hazardous materials, regular inspection and maintenance of equipment,
clear identification of job descriptions and of medical staff credentials.

This is excellent news as it assures international patients that the
quality of care they will receive when deciding on BFC for IVF treatment is
as good if not better than clinics in their home country.

BFC believes accreditation is essential to improve the quality of care
given to patients, and that by investing in new quality measurement systems,
resources and staff training they are providing the best treatment for
continued high success rates in IVF cycles.

Since opening in 2002, they have year on year increased the number of
couples conceiving through IVF in a stress reduced environment. Couples from
Barbados, the Caribbean, USA, UK, Canada and other European countries are now
proud parents after successful treatment at BFC. BFC saw brilliant success
rates in 2009 on women under 35 using Blastocyst with 71% achieving a
pregnancy.

Anybody who has tried to conceive for 12 months without achieving a
pregnancy should seek medical intervention. For further information on the
