International Hospital Corporation (IHC) is a Dallas, TX-based company that operates through General Hospitals as well as through high-quality, specialty Clinics and Hospitals throughout Latin America, under the CIMA brand.
It was founded in 1991, with the vision of establishing a top-class, private medical services company in Mexico and Latin America. This vision is currently our reality. IHC established a platform for the development and management of world-class, health services systems offering a wide range of diagnosis, emergency, and surgical services. There are currently three general hospitals operating in Mexico, plus a fourth one under construction, and one more hospital in Costa Rica.
Santa Engracia Hospital
The first stone for the construction of the Santa Engracia Hospital in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico, was laid in 1992.
In 1993, the CIMA Group acquired the Hospital; consequently, it became part of International Hospital Corporation.
In 1996, the construction of the Santa Engracia Hospital was concluded and its operations began soon after. The current concept focuses on being a General Hospital, with emphasis on the practice of Group Medicine and short-stay surgery, without overlooking the services that have been its source of support to this date, which are Neonatology and Obstetrics.
The Santa Engracia Hospital is one of the best and most modern hospitals in our region and country. It is equipped with the necessary facilities and infrastructure, which makes it what it is, a first-class center.
The Reproductive Medicine and Surgery Clinic (CMCR) was inaugurated in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, in February 2006, as part of the CIMA Santa Engracia Hospital. Our facilities include laboratories with avant-garde technology, X-Ray departments for specialized studies, modern equipment to perform 3D ecographic tests, and operating rooms equipped to perform surgeries related to the reproductive system. We have had the privilege of helping 340 couples with fertility problems and, after three years, we have been able to achieve 160 healthy pregnancies.
In October 2008 we were certified by the Joint Commission International, an international organism that validates the excellence of our hospital services at all levels.

Which are the most frequent complications of Assisted Reproduction Procedures?
Ovarian hyperstimulation, Tubal pregnancies, Ovarian torsion, and other complications.
Does the malformation index increase with assisted reproduction methods?
By no means. The percentage of malformations in newborn babies as a result of In-Vitro-Fertilization techniques is not higher than that of the general population. In the information published around the world and in Latin America, malformation rates do not exceed the rates found in the general population of reproductive age (2.0 to 2.4% of the newborn babies examined).
What is the probability of having a multiple pregnancy?
The multiple gestation rate is in direct proportion to the number of transferred embryos and the woman’s age. The global rate of multiple gestation is 29%. This means that 29 out of 100 pregnancies begin with two or more gestational sacs. 10% of these will be spontaneously reduced to one sac, an event that usually occurs before week 12 of the gestation.
Where do the remaining ovocytes go?
Existen varias opciones a donde pueden ir los ovocitos remanentes.
Donación al laboratorio: Los ovocitos donados en este caso, son utilizados para investigación, en cuyo caso debe ser especificado por parte de la Clínica, el tipo de investigación que se desarrollará con los gametos.
Donación a otra paciente (receptora) La donación de óvulos se realiza a parejas heterosexuales en que la mujer no tiene ovarios por razones genéticas, quirúrgicas o por radioterapia en tratamientos de cáncer. También se realiza en mujeres con falla ovárica prematura (menopausia precoz). Es decir, mujeres que nacieron con un número menor de óvulos y por ello su menopausia será prematura. También la donación está indicada, cuando la mujer es portadora de alguna enfermedad ligada a genes, que de ser transmitida ocasionaría enfermedades severas en la descendencia. Los óvulos donados son inseminados con los espermatozoides del marido/ pareja de la paciente que los recibe. Cualquiera sea la decisión de la paciente, esto debe ser respaldado por la firma de un consentimiento informado.
