Our History
Pons Medical Research is a company dedicated to reproductive medicine, specialising in the field of surrogate motherhood.
The story of Pons Medical began in Ukraine in 2016. At that time, surrogacy services were experiencing a boom in Ukraine and around the world. Pons Medical was founded by Edel Pons Suarez, a Spanish medical specialist in the field of nutrition. In 2017, he managed to create a team of several professionals, including specialists in marketing, reproductive medicine and law, as well as administrative staff, who together took the first steps in our successful history.
Working under the conditions of the Ukrainian environment was not easy. All too often, the majority of Ukrainian surrogacy agencies were able to attract a large number of clients at the expense of quality and terrible conditions for surrogates. There were also problems with the supply of medicines to maternity hospitals and widespread corruption.
Faced with these challenges, the company’s management decided to phase out its work in Ukraine and move its activities to other countries. From 2021, Pons Medical will no longer provide surrogacy services in Ukraine.
In 2019, the company decided to open a branch in Georgia. At the time, surrogacy in Georgia was attracting more attention due to a flexible legal framework and the absence of corruption. The cost of surrogacy in Georgia was also cheaper than in Ukraine. Surrogacy in Georgia became popular, especially for couples from countries such as Spain and China. In general, surrogacy procedures in Georgia are often smooth and relatively quick.
Working in the surrogacy industry is not always easy. International surrogacy has been affected by stricter government regulation in the last 2-3 years. Far-right and far-left governments in Italy and Spain have discouraged their citizens from seeking surrogacy services abroad by denying registration or prosecuting intended parents, while other countries have banned surrogacy for foreigners, reducing the availability of suitable destinations.
The war in Ukraine has also created difficulties for the international surrogacy market as it has affected the quantity and quality of surrogacy services provided by Ukrainian clinics and surrogacy agencies; many clinics and agencies have decided to continue offering their services despite the fact that their work is being carried out under impossible circumstances.
Faced with this situation, Pons Medical Group decided to open a subsidiary in Armenia. Surrogacy in Armenia is not well known, despite the fact that the country has robust legislation and modern clinics. Armenia can be considered Georgia’s twin brother, with similar religion, customs and character, and even similar legislation.
Today, Pons Medical continues to offer its gestational surrogacy and egg donor bank services to a global audience in the small but wonderful countries of Armenia and Georgia.
By 2023, Pons Medical has achieved a well-deserved position as a reference in the field of international surrogacy, thanks to the high quality of legal and medical assistance provided to intended parents. Pons Medical counts on honest, hardworking and highly qualified staff, ready to help you in even the most difficult cases.
