Medical Care & Safeguards

Medical Safety as a Priority

The health and well-being of every surrogate is a central priority throughout the gestational surrogacy process in Georgia. All medical procedures are performed exclusively by licensed fertility clinics and qualified reproductive specialists.

Comprehensive Medical Screening

Before entering any medical stage, potential surrogates undergo detailed screening by a licensed clinic. This may include:

• Full medical history review
• Prior pregnancy assessment
• Blood tests and infectious disease screening
• Hormonal profile testing
• Gynecological examination
• Ultrasound evaluation
• Psychological assessment

Final eligibility is determined solely by the clinic’s medical team.

IVF & Embryo Transfer

Gestational surrogacy involves embryo transfer following in-vitro fertilization (IVF). The embryo is created using the intended parents’ gametes or donor gametes, depending on the case.

The surrogate does not have a genetic connection to the child.

The clinic manages:

• Hormonal preparation
• Lining development monitoring
• Embryo transfer procedure
• Post-transfer follow-up

All procedures are conducted under controlled clinical conditions.

Pregnancy Monitoring

If pregnancy is confirmed, the surrogate receives structured prenatal care under medical supervision. Monitoring typically includes:

• Regular obstetric appointments
• Ultrasound examinations
• Routine blood testing
• Nutritional guidance
• Delivery planning at an approved hospital

Medical professionals remain responsible for all health-related decisions.

Understanding Medical Risks

As with any pregnancy, gestational surrogacy carries potential risks. These may include:

• Hormonal medication side effects
• Pregnancy-related complications
• Multiple pregnancy risks (if applicable)
• Delivery-related complications

Clinics provide full medical disclosure before any procedure. Written informed consent is required prior to embryo transfer.

Voluntary Participation

Participation in surrogacy is voluntary. A surrogate may withdraw from the process prior to embryo transfer, subject to medical and legal procedures.

After pregnancy is established, medical decisions follow Georgian medical standards and applicable law.

Post-Delivery Care

Following childbirth, the surrogate receives appropriate postnatal medical care as provided by the hospital and attending physician. Follow-up evaluations may be scheduled to support recovery and well-being.


Confidential Medical Information

All medical information is handled confidentially by licensed clinics. Personal health data is shared strictly on a need-to-know basis and in accordance with applicable privacy regulations.

Surrogate identities are not publicly disclosed.
