Halitus Instituto Medico

Halitus Instituto Medico

Starting the search for a child in a way that differs from the expected one, requires a different accompaniment.

In Halitus we offer you the latest technology, the trajectory, the experience and the human warmth of those who have achieved, since 1987, through the techniques of assisted fertilization of high complexity, more than 7500 births. We work as a team because we believe that multidiscipline is the best approach for complex problems such as infertility. We understand health as a whole, and we take care of it in an integral way with an emphasis on the body, but also on the mind. We have a recognized team of professionals to guarantee the best care. Thus, with all the information, the containment and the analysis of the possible alternatives, we can decide together with each patient the best treatment.
