Founding member of Greece’s most advanced center for In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
In September 2015, the Institute of Life Assisted Reproduction Center (IOLIFE) started operating on the ground floor of IASO, of which Dr. Vasilopoulos was a co-inspirer and co-founder.
Already since the first months of its operation, IOLIFE has established itself as the largest and most advanced center for IVF in Greece and one of the most modern and technologically innovative Assisted Reproduction Centers in Europe.
The goal of the IOLIFE center is to create the right conditions, always with utmost respect to the strictest rules of quality and safety, so that infertile couples can have a child.
The vast space, its state-of-the-art facilities, the most innovative technology it implements, as well as the RI Witness system (the management system that ensures the credibility of the entire IVF process) are the reasons why the Institute of Life in IASO has already been described as an exemplary facility all across Greece.
