About Centro de Reprodução Humana Prof. Franco Junior

The history of the Human Reproduction Center Prof. Franco Jr. is somewhat confused with that of its founder, the physician José Gonçalves Franco Jr, who has always devoted his career to study and research in the area of assisted reproduction.

Graduated from the Faculty of Medicine of USP, in Ribeirão Preto, in 1969, Dr. Franco Jr specialized in gynecology and obstetrics. He dedicated the first years of his profession to clinical care and to the career of professor in the same college where he graduated and became a doctor of medicine. However, he did not see his professional achievement solely in the academic career.

In 1984, with some years of professional experience, he decided to leave the country to specialize in a rapidly developing gynecology sector: human reproduction. It was at the University of California Irvine, in the United States, that Dr. Franco Jr. specialized in reproduction. After a year and a half involved with research and clinical care in the United States, he returned to Brazil and, in Ribeirão Preto, at the Sinhá Junqueira Maternity, he established the first Human Reproduction Center in the interior of São Paulo, in 1988.

In 1990, the first baby conceived by in vitro fertilization of the interior of the State was born, with the help of the team of Dr. Franco Jr. In 1992, CRH had already helped 50 children born with this technique. the team went on to promote the "Baby Feast." The Commemoration was repeated for four years, bringing together more and more children and their parents.In 1994, they had more than 300 children born to treatment at the institution. in 1998 there were more than 1,500 guests who packed the Lone White Coliseum in Ribeirão Preto, after which it became impossible to organize such a celebration because it was impossible to organize a large event.
