About Centro Procreazione Assistita Demetra Srl

Demetra is a fertility and assisted reproduction clinic network located in Italy with centres in Florence, Bergamo, Rome and Bologna, specializing in medically assisted procreation (PMA) and offering a full spectrum of IVF services including homologous IVF, IVF with donor gametes, pre‑implantation genetic testing, fertility preservation and intra‑uterine insemination (IUI). The clinic distinguishes itself through a public‑private SSN agreement that markedly lowers patients’ out‑of‑pocket costs, a commitment to “quality without compromise” and an empathetic, personalized care model that tailors treatment plans to each couple’s clinical profile while providing continuous psychological and relational support. Demetra reports success rates that rank among the highest in the sector, with impressive pregnancy‑to‑term percentages per single embryo transfer and after the first and third cycles with transferable embryos. Its multidisciplinary team comprises highly qualified gynecologists, an andrologist, embryologists, psychologists and even an acupuncture specialist, all engaged in ongoing training and research that has produced over 450 peer‑reviewed publications. Patients benefit from seamless online and in‑person appointment booking, dedicated counseling, and a supportive environment designed to guide them from initial consultation through every step of their journey toward parenthood.
