According to Quan Hoang Lam, Director of the hospital’s Centre for Embryo Technology, an infant was born via spermatid-based fertilisation and six others are expected this year.

Lam acknowledged that the successful ratio in spermatid culture is o­nly 10 percent. However, he added, it is still a remarkable achievement as there is a small number of countries that have gained successes in this technology.

Lam said, Vietnam is now the first in Asia to succeed in the technology and his centre is the o­nly place in the country using it.
