INSER Colombia: 80% IVF Success Rate and Surrogacy Programs (2026)

30+ Years of Reproductive Medicine.

INSER brings three decades of reproductive medicine to one of the most established fertility networks in Latin America — now anchored by a 1,200 m² flagship facility in Bogotá and 18 specialists working across five Colombian cities. It’s the kind of scale and seniority that’s hard to find outside the major US and European clinics — and 40% of patients come from outside Colombia, drawn by that reputation.

For almost three decades, the Instituto de Fertilidad Humana (INSER) has been one of Colombia’s most established fertility clinics — and one of the most recognized across Latin America. Thousands of patients have come through its doors since 1995, and the institution has continued to grow by pairing senior medical talent with serious investment in laboratory technology.

About INSER: history, credentials, and location

INSER opened its first clinic in Medellín in 1995 and has expanded steadily since. Today the network includes five locations across Colombia — Medellín, Bogota, Barranquilla, Cartagena, and Pereira — chosen to make specialized reproductive care reachable from every major region of the country, as well as from neighboring markets.

IVF treatments available

The clinic covers the full spectrum of assisted reproduction, from first-line options to advanced third-party reproduction:

IVF with or without ICSI
Intrauterine insemination (IUI)
Egg donation programs
Fertility preservation (egg, sperm, and embryo freezing)
Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT)
Treatment of male and female factor infertility
Surrogacy

Every protocol is built around the patient’s own diagnosis, history, and goals rather than a one-size-fits-all template.

The medical team at INSER

INSER’s medical staff includes 18 reproductive medicine specialists — reproductive endocrinologists, andrologists, embryologists, and geneticists — most of whom trained at top institutions in Colombia and abroad. Continuing education is built into the practice, so the team stays current with evolving protocols and emerging technologies in the field.

Lab technology and quality standards

Each INSER lab is equipped with modern reproductive technology, and the clinic reinvests regularly to stay current. The core stack includes:

Time-lapse incubation systems for continuous, non-disruptive embryo monitoring
Advanced vitrification techniques for egg and embryo cryopreservation
Latest-generation micromanipulation equipment for IVF and ICSI procedures

INSER success rates (with 2024-2025 data)

According to internal data, more than 80% of INSER patients achieve their goal of taking home a baby. That number is a function of three things working together: senior clinicians who see high volumes of complex cases, a modern lab with consistent quality control, and treatment plans adjusted to the individual rather than copied from a template.

What international intended parents should know

About 40% of the patients INSER treats each year come from outside Colombia — primarily from dollarized economies in the Caribbean and Latin America, including the United States, Aruba, Curaçao, Bonaire, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and several Central American countries.

To support that volume, the international team handles the logistics end-to-end:

Multilingual patient coordinators
Help with accommodation and local transportation
Assistance with legal paperwork and documentation

Research and Training

Alongside its clinical work, INSER runs a two-year fellowship in reproductive medicine, in partnership with leading Colombian and international universities. The program helps train the next generation of fertility specialists and keeps the institution connected to active research in the field.

INSER vs other fertility clinics in Bogotá and Colombia

Two accreditations are worth flagging for patients comparing clinics internationally:

First fertility clinic in Colombia to earn AAAASF International accreditation (American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities)
Reproductive laboratory accredited by RedLara (Latin American Network of Assisted Reproduction)

With nearly thirty years of clinical experience, a senior multidisciplinary team, ongoing investment in lab technology, and a clear focus on the patient, INSER has become a reference point for reproductive medicine in Colombia and the wider region. The opening of the Bogotá flagship and the steady growth of the international patient base are both signals of the same thing: the institution is still scaling, and still treating every cycle as a chance to do the work well.

The New Bogotá Clinic

INSER’s most recent expansion is a 1,200 m² flagship clinic in Bogotá — currently the largest fertility facility of its kind in Colombia. The space is organized into two clearly separated areas:

An outpatient area for consultations, monitoring, and follow-up
A surgical and laboratory area, which includes two operating rooms, a dedicated assisted reproduction lab, and a separate andrology lab

The new site reflects INSER’s long-term commitment to expanding access to high-quality fertility care across the country.
