About the Institute
The Higher Institute for Infertility Diagnosis and Assisted Reproduction Technologies was established as a therapeutic center for infertility and its treatment in (1990). In (2000) it became an institute with academic, therapeutic and research duties at the postgraduate level, within the University of Baghdad and accredited by the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research in Iraq. Then, in (2005), the institute joined the formations of Al-Nahrain University. The institute is located in the Kadhimiya area near the Imamiyya Al-Kadhimiya (peace be upon them) Medical City. The institute has been internationally certified by the Postgraduate Medical Education Directory (PMED) of the FAIMER Foundation, which is one of the ECFMG institutions.
The Institute has close scientific relations with local and international fertility and reproduction associations. The Institute also has an active presence in conferences and scientific events in the fields of clinical reproductive physiology, fertility, assisted reproductive technologies, and genetic development. The Institute consists of two departments: the Department of Clinical Reproductive Physiology, which awards a higher diploma (equivalent to a master's) in assisted reproductive technologies and a doctorate in applied clinical reproduction, and the Department of Applied Embryology, which awards a master's degree in applied embryology.
The Institute seeks to achieve excellence in providing high-quality academic programs that are in line with scientific and medical developments in the field of infertility and its treatment at the local, regional and global levels, in order to achieve the highest rates of success in using in vitro fertilization techniques and reducing the problem of infertility.
