Declan Egan commented that he is “very excited for the clinic to be part of a larger group to develop egg donation and genetic services for patients going forward. This move is a testament to the staff, their patient focus, hard work and excellent results.”
FutureLife founder and co-owner Jozef Janov adds: “For us, partnering with Galway Fertility Clinic was always priority, as we wanted to have national network and we have been following successes of Dr Declan Egan and his team for long time.”
