Since the birth of the World's first " test tube " baby - Louise Brown in 1978 , further developments by numerous workers in human IVF has gone into improving the procedure. The world-wide interest in IVF is due to the enormous problem of infertility and the lack of any opportunity for the infertile couples to have their own child. Many clinics around the world are practising human IVF with varying degrees of success.
At that time in our country , not many obstetricians had their interest in this area of infertility treatment.
Dr. Jongjate Aojanepong who gained his expertise in human IVF from Australia and UK. understood the need for the establishment of a "complete family " and he realised that infertility can create one of the most distressing life crisis.
With his great effort , the first pregnancy with GIFT technique was achieved in Thailand followed by hundreds of children born from this technique. Then in 1996 , the complete center for infertility treatment " Jetanin Institute for Assisted Reproduction " was established with the full range of treatment , the full facilities of service , the modern of out-patient and in-patient unit , operating theatre and laboratory facilities. Within only one year , Dr. Jongjate again achieved another great success in the first pregnancy with the TESE / ICSI technique from the azoospermic patient .
