The Castle Street Hospital for Women in Colombo is not conducting an egg donation program, Dr. Ajith Dantanarayana, Director of the hospital said.

He confirmed that only a sperm donation program is currently in operation. 

Since its recent launch, the sperm bank has registered more than 150 male donors. According to Dr. Dantanarayana, ten women have conceived through the program, and over 200 others are receiving support.

He refuted media reports claiming an egg donation program had been initiated, stating that no such program exists at the hospital.

Dr. Dantanarayana said the sperm donation initiative is intended to support couples experiencing infertility by offering a medically supervised path to parenthood. (Newswire)
