IVF staff accused of misleading UK parents about sperm and egg donors in northern Cyprus | BBC News
At least 30 children, most of them British, are feared to have been conceived using the wrong sperm or egg donors during IVF treatment in northern Cyprus.
The figure is one of several new findings in a BBC investigation that, earlier this year, uncovered the first seven cases.
Half of the 30 children were born from procedures at one clinic, Dogus IVF Centre.
Three people – Dr Firdevs Uguz Tip, Dr Sevket Alpturk, and a patient co-ordinator Julie Hodson – were involved in the care of many of the patients at Dogus.
Parents suspect these members of staff may have misled them.
Firdevs denies any wrongdoing. Alpturk and Hodson have not responded to our questions.
