Who we are
Human First is a small, specialised organisation that guides couples from Europe and beyond through IVF and ICSI treatment in Istanbul. Our knowledge and expertise lie in guiding and supporting couples who — literally and figuratively — push new boundaries to fulfil their wish for a child.
Since 2005 we have worked with prof. dr. Cem Demirel and his medical team. That long-standing partnership means direct lines of communication, mutual trust, and a journey that's been thought through down to the smallest detail.
Precisely because we've chosen to stay small, we can do what large clinics often can't: truly listen, stay reachable, and think along with you. That's not a marketing promise — it's the reason we do this work. Hence our name: Human First.
What we arrange for you
- Review of your medical file by the IVF team in Istanbul
- A personal treatment plan and medication prescription
- On request: a hotel near the hospital, airport transfers and a ride to every appointment
- An interpreter at your appointments, arranged by us free of charge
- Reachable via WhatsApp, outside office hours for emergencies
- Aftercare and support up to week 12 of the pregnancy
A shorter stay is possible
You can start hormone stimulation at home and travel to Istanbul only on day 9 of treatment. That keeps your stay to around 10 days — ideal if you can't be away from work or family for long.
Treatment at a top clinic
All treatments take place at Acibadem Hospital in Istanbul, accredited by the Joint Commission International (JCI) and affiliated with the American Hospital Association.
