Transferring embryos across borders before birth: The logistics involved in transporting embryos.

Louise Joy Brown, born on July 25, 1978, in Oldham, England, became the first human conceived through in vitro fertilization (IVF), marking a significant medical milestone. This breakthrough, developed by Patrick Steptoe and Robert Edwards, transformed reproductive healthcare, leading to millions of IVF births and a complex logistics framework for embryo transport. As embryos became portable due to advancements in cryopreservation, specialized logistics providers emerged to ensure safe and compliant international movement, emphasizing stringent documentation and risk management, while the demand for cross-border fertility treatments continues to rise.
