IVF & Fertility News

Tuesday 22nd July 2008Heroes of Harley Street!

Dr Kamal Ahuja, Scientific and Managing Director of London Womens Clinic, has been named as one of the ‘Heroes of Harley Street’ by the Evening Standard for his constant hard work and campaigning for ‘egg sharing’, which he pioneered with Mr Eric Simons in the early 1990s, to become the only form of egg donation in the UK.

Egg sharing benefits both women who need donor eggs and who can afford to pay for their treatment, as well as healthy women who can donate half of their eggs in return for subsidised treatment. Dr Ahuja and his team in London, Cardiff, Swansea and Darlington have been advocates of this treatment option which brings a shortage and a surplus together, (instead of putting healthy women through such an intrusive treatment as IVF unnecessarily), for years and have performed over 2000 cycles of egg sharing.
