Scoring methodology

We score each clinic across five dimensions (1–5 each) plus an overall score. Scores are based on public information and third-party feedback, do not constitute medical or legal advice, and are updated with each verification date.

Five scoring dimensions (1–5 each)

  1. 1.

    Compliance

    Licensing, regulatory standing, whether foreigners may legally be served, and contract/parentage protections.

  2. 2.

    Medical level

    Verifiable accreditation, years operating, lab/technology and physician background (self-reported success rates do not add points).

  3. 3.

    Transparency

    Price disclosure, contract clarity, information availability, and whether key questions are avoided.

  4. 4.

    Reputation

    Quantity/quality of third-party reviews, negative records and controversies, media coverage.

  5. 5.

    Intl. accessibility

    Verifiable Chinese website / WeChat / Mandarin coordinator and past Chinese-client experience.

How scores are derived (public signals)

Each dimension is converted from verifiable public signals by a fixed rule (1–5, 0.5 steps), not from clinical-outcome verification. Key signals: verifiable accreditation (JCI / TEMOS / ISO …) and documented controversies (compliance); accreditation and years operating (medical); price/success disclosure (transparency); third-party platform ratings (reputation); verifiable Chinese readiness (China-readiness).

The overall score is the mean of the five dimensions (one decimal). Self-reported success rates and prices are always labeled “self-reported” and never add objective points; missing fields read “Not found”. War-affected Ukrainian clinics are marked unavailable and placed last in rankings. Scores update with each verification date and do not constitute medical or legal advice.

Source credibility tiers

  1. Official / regulatory: health ministries, regulators, official legal texts.
  2. Industry & academic: ESHRE, societies, papers, WHO.
  3. Clinic websites: factual source only (interested party) — not a review source, excluded from objective scoring.
  4. Third-party review platforms: Google / Yandex / Trustpilot, forums, Reddit, Russian отзывы (watch for marketing).
  5. Media: Reuters, BBC, RFE/RL and local outlets on scandals & regulation.

Updates & limitations

Law and prices move fast; rely on the verification date shown on each page. This methodology and the scores do not constitute medical or legal advice — always verify via the cited sources.
