Helen Bakar (IVF patient)
Helen is living proof of the power of individual research. She has spent months making sure that she understands her medical condition, she has spoken to various experts in Europe, she has informed herself about different treatment options and she has made a plan for her future family.

She is an incredible person with an open heart and passion for helping others.
