BREAKING NEWS Monash IVF mistakenly transfers the wrong embryo into Melbourne woamn
Monash IVF has transferred the wrong embryo into a Melbourne woman.
Monash said the incident was under investigation.
The provider has apologised to the couple involved.
'Commencing immediately, Monash IVF will implement interim additional verification processes and patient confirmation safeguards over and above normal practice,' the statement said.
'Monash IVF has extended its sincere apologies to the affected couple, and we continue to support them.
It follows Monash IVF's admission last month that a mistake at its Brisbane clinic led to a Queensland mother unknowingly delivering another couple's baby.
'Monash IVF is conducting an internal investigation into the incident. It has also extended the scope of the independent review being conducted by Fiona McLeod AO SC in relation to the Brisbane incident, noting that the different incidents occurred some years apart.'
