SEMOVO SUCCESS DESPITE NATIONAL SPERM DONOR BANK STOPPING DONOR RECRUITMENT

Have you heard that the National Sperm Bank has stopped recruiting sperm donors? This doesn’t mean men are put off donating sperm in the UK, despite headlines claiming few men signed up, the action by the National Sperm Bank is actually due to funding issues.

At Semovo we’re already filling the gap in sperm donor supply in the UK. We have over 100 sperm donors ready for patients to use, with no waiting list, and our unique network model of regional donation clinics means we’re making it more convenient than ever for men to become sperm donors.

The stopping of donor recruitment by the National Sperm Bank has highlighted the need for better co-ordination and a network approach. At Semovo we’re making this happen, through our resources and considerable expertise. Sperm from our donors can be sent direct to any clinic for patient use.

Working alongside the National Gamete Donation Trust, we aim to become the sperm bank of choice in the UK for patients and clinics, setting the standard in sperm donor care and support.

So whilst the news about the National Sperm Bank may be worrying for those who need donor sperm, sperm donation is a success in the UK - as we are proving. Men do want to donate sperm and are donating with us right now. With your help we can continue to ensure patients can get the safe fertility treatment they need here in the UK.
