The Ministry of Health is investigating an unusual incident this evening (Thursday) in Asuta Ramat Ha'Yal, in the in vitro fertilization unit. During the investigation, information was received that was examined about a case where there is concern that a child born after in vitro fertilization is not genetically compatible with the father. The parents were informed of the incident.

Masuta stated that this is a specific event that took place on 12.12.2018. "In recent days, a request was received from a couple of parents who performed in vitro fertilization on 12/12/2018 and recently conducted a genetic test in a laboratory that is not known to Asuta and is located outside of Israel. The test indicated a concern that there is no genetic connection between the baby and the father, and there may have been a mixing of sperm donation. The details are not conclusive Because the parents demanded that no inquiry be made, and that the privacy of the family be preserved. At this time, we do not know of any other parents relevant to the incident. As more details become clear, we will update the Ministry of Health and the public subject to the limitations of medical confidentiality," it was claimed.
