Our history
serving fertility for over 25 years

Next Fertility ProCrea is one of the leading international reference centres for reproductive medicine in Switzerland. With over 25 years of experience and more than 6,000 babies born, we accompany couples from all over the world every day on their journey towards parenthood, combining scientific rigour, innovation and human attention.

Founded in 1999 in Bellinzona and moved to modern premises in Lugano in 2009, our clinic has always placed the quality of care and the well-being of the couple at the centre. We have dealt with changing reproductive needs over time, including an increase in the average age of patients and cases of idiopathic infertility, by constantly expanding the available techniques and focusing on reproductive genetics.

‘Every person is unique’ is not only our approach, but a promise: each treatment is tailor-made, because there are no standard solutions when it comes to fertility.

The Direction of the Clinic is entrusted to Dr. Andrea Barlocco, General Director, who leads Next Fertility ProCrea with an unwavering commitment to clinical excellence, safety and patient-centredness. The Medical Direction is instead entrusted to Dr. Marina Bellavia, a gynaecologist specialised in reproductive medicine, who guarantees the high level of quality and updating of the clinical pathways.
