Stork Fertility Center

What Stork Fertility Center does

Stork Fertility Center (送子鳥生殖中心) is a privately held, Taiwan-headquartered reproductive medicine clinic founded by Dr. 賴興華 in Hsinchu and operating for 23+ years. The clinic provides a full cycle of fertility services including IVF, IUI, egg and sperm freezing, donor gamete matching, preimplantation genetic testing (PGS/PGT-A), endometrial receptivity analysis (ERA), and a proprietary Implantation Rescue Medicine (IBR) protocol for immune-related implantation failure. Its core product platform, branded 'IVF 3.0+', combines PGS, ERA, and Dynamic Triple Testing into a personalized precision IVF (PP-IVF) workflow, supported by a 4SG laboratory equipped with Geri individual incubators and time-lapse monitoring.

The company's technology stack includes the self-developed HiSA platform (integrating hospital information systems with laboratory gamete/embryo management) and the Artemis AI-powered embryo selection system, both built by a 20-person internal IT team at affiliated iCryobank. Stork operates the largest egg bank in Taiwan with 40,000+ stored oocytes and approximately 200 donor egg cases available on demand, providing rapid matching without waiting lists. The clinic's six physicians are cross-trained in reproductive medicine, immunology, and thrombosis, creating a one-stop triple-specialty model that eliminates the referral fragmentation common in fertility care.

Revenue is generated through unit-priced clinical procedures (IVF/ICSI cycles, egg freezing, PGS at NTD 24,500 per embryo, ERA at NTD 49,000 per test, donor gamete matching), recurring annual storage fees (~NTD 10,000/year), and premium international medical services. The clinic serves a diversified consumer base across five primary segments—infertile couples, career-focused women electing egg freezing, donor gamete recipients, patients with genetic/immunological risk factors, and international medical tourists—with 40% of patients coming from 50+ countries including Japan, China, and Hong Kong. Distribution combines direct physician-led consultations at Hsinchu headquarters, Taipei branch (Stork 11), and satellite offices in Taichung, Tainan, and Kaohsiung, with dedicated Tokyo and Hong Kong business offices supporting cross-border patient acquisition.
