Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) is one of the procedures, that is increasingly being used as a part of in vitro fertilization (IVF). The procedure involves a direct injection of a single sperm into the centre of the ovum (i.e. the human egg), though a small needle. The fertilized egg is then kept in the laboratory for three to five days, during which the embryo is formed and is directly placed into the uterus of the women.
This procedure is now used for more than half the cases of all in vitro fertilization treatments. It is highly effective in the management of male infertility (i.e. when the infertility in the couple is attributed to the male partner). Several international health tourism destinations provide ICSI procedure at subsidized rates, but with international quality and success rates. These tourism destinations include India in South East Asia, North Korea in East Asia, Jordan and Turkey in West Asia and Mexico in North America.
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ISCI) is one of the In vitro fertilization (IVF) techniques which is successfully used to overcome the problem of infertility which is attributed to the male counterpart,
By using the Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) procedure, almost 50% to 80% of the eggs get fertilized. However, certain eggs may get damaged during the procedure, while some fertilized eggs may not get transformed into embryo or the embryo stops growing altogether. As per studies conducted the average success rate of women under 35 years to conceive after an ICSI procedure is about 28-30%.
The procedure involves separate intervention on the male partner and the female partner. The procedure requires both the male and female partner to be in the hospital to facilitate the process of sperm and ovum retrieval. The female is subsequently hospitalized for a period of two days after the procedure.

Morden technology, highly qualifed medical teams and state of the art medical care infrastructure has put Jordan on the global map as one of the most sought after medical tourism destinations. Jordan has been catering to the most of Middle East and attracts several medical tourists annually.
Located in the Eastern corner of Asia, South Korea has recently augmented its healthcare infrastructure, to specifically cater to international medical tourists. Government interventions to enforce stringent regulations have contributed positively to raise the quality of medical care services to international standards
India is fast becoming one of the most preferred medical tourism destinations due to its good quality of care, hi-tech equipments and technology, and medical professionals with international repute. With evidence suggesting that medical care in India can cost as little as one-eight of the cost in the United States, it is one of the cheapest medical tourism destinations.
With several JCI accredited hospitals, the country is ranked 61st by the World Health Organization for its robust and effective healthcare infrastructure. As Mexico borders the United States, many Americans prefer to visit Mexico for medical care, as it considerably reduces their travel time.
As Turkey prepares to enter the European Union, it has strengthened its healthcare infrastructure, to meet the quality norms specified by the European Union. However, as it achieves these quality standards, its cost of medical care remains substantially lower than those in the Europe and United States. This is attracting several medical tourists annually to the country to seek good quality and low cost medical care services.
