This program is special as it excludes the possibility of loss, and the results can be seen in the smiling eyes of parents and healthcare specialists. I am glad for our long-term cooperation with “BirthLink”. When a human life is at stake, even one successful case is a victory,” VivaCell-MTS General Manager Ralph Yirikian commented.
