FOGGIA – The Foggia polyclinic is the only third level center in Puglia for medically assisted procreation (PMA). The accreditation and quality service of the Puglia Region has authorized the departmental structure of physiopathology of reproduction and medically assisted procreation of the Foggia polyclinic, directed by Professor Maria Matteo, to carry out second and third level MAP activities. The recognition of the requirements allows the structure to provide – the only center in Puglia – the entire range of medically assisted procreation techniques, up to the most high-tech ones.
The gamete bank already present and operating for the cryopreservation of seminal fluid will also be able to carry out the freezing of oocytes and ovarian tissue, giving men and women the opportunity to preserve their fertility in all risk conditions and in particular in patients in which a diagnosis of oncological pathology has been made.
«The start of the activities – explains the general director Giuseppe Pasqualone – is expected after the summer and will be communicated with all the indications on the access methods. In the Foggia polyclinic we will have a structure capable of offering complex diagnostic therapeutic pathways and allowing the couple to be taken care of in a global way, thanks to the presence of a multidisciplinary team”.
