In 1984, Dr. ELKIN LUCENA, ibaguereño, who achieved the first childbirth produced by IN VITRO FERTILIZATION in Latin America, founded CECOLFES, Colombia's most important biomedicine reproductive center. There, Dr. Juan Carlos Rodriguez sub-specializes in REPRODUCTIVE BIOMEDICINE and HUMAN FERTILITY.
Dr. Rodriguez then travels to Spain, specifically Barcelona, where he sub-specializes in HIGH-RISK PREGNANCIES (PERINATOLOGY) at the Vall D ́́ Hebrón Maternal and Child Hospital with Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona.
In 2002, we developed the HIGH RESOLUTION ULTRASOUND program for gynecological and obstetric diagnosis. We were pioneers in Ibagué, performing ANATOMIC DETAIL ULTRASOUND for the diagnosis of fetal malformations. We were also pioneers in 3D and 4D ultrasound.
GESTAMOS was born as a dream of Dr. Juan Carlos Rodríguez. The name was established as GESTAMOS: THE BEST HANDS. On September 29, 2004, the unit was registered with the Chamber of Commerce of the city of Ibagué and legally constituted under the incorporation deed and DIAN. Later, the slogan was changed to: GESTAMOS; A HOPE IS BORN, A LIFE IS BORN.
In 2004, the article was published: First pregnancy achieved from vitrified human oocytes. Rev Colomb Obstet Ginecol Vol. 55 No. 3 Bogotá July/September 2004.
On February 20, the first pregnancy through in vitro fertilization was achieved. And on October 16, 2004, JULIANA BARRIOS SAAVEDRA was born. She was the first baby born through in vitro fertilization in Ibagué.
In April 2008, we achieved a pregnancy considered a high-level scientific success: in vitro fertilization with TESA (semen retrieval through testicular aspiration/biopsy). Nowadays, we primarily use this technique for patients who have undergone a vasectomy.
In July 2008, we began a new era in reproductive treatments and introduced the technology of: IN VITRO FERTILIZATION LITE; which involves assisted reproduction techniques with no medication or minimal stimulation.
With joy, in 2014, we welcomed as patients EMILIANO ALCIDES ZULETA DIAZ, the renowned VALLENATO MUSICIAN, and his wife ELODIA ISABEL BERNIER OSPINA. On April 5, 2014, we transferred embryos obtained through testicular aspiration (since Emiliano had undergone a vasectomy after his last child with Elodia). Thus, on December 15, 2014, EMILY SHADAI ZULETA BERNIER was born in the city of Valledupar.
In 2018, in partnership with GENETIX, the secondary validation study of the NON-INVASIVE PGT-A (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidies) was conducted. Given the evidence of the effectiveness of this technology, the NON-INVASIVE PGTA program (prenatal genetic testing analysis) was launched to conduct reliable genetic tests on the culture fluid of embryos and avoid embryo biopsy. We were pioneers in Tolima and in Colombia.
The program for TROPHOECTODERM BIOPSY WITH LASER begins, through which genetic analysis is performed using cells obtained from the embryo.
We innovated in the department of Tolima as the first to perform invasive PGT-A (Invasive Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidies and common genetic diseases) with the goal of genetically assessing the status of an embryo before transferring it to the uterus of the gestational carrier.
This advancement positions GESTAMOS among the best assisted reproduction centers in Colombia and also allows us to proudly say that we have the scientific and technological rigor of the best centers in the world, but in Ibagué.
July 2003 - the first group of patients for IN VITRO FERTILIZATION. In this way, Dr. Juan Carlos becomes the pioneer of the technique in Ibagué. This achievement was supported by the scientific expertise of Dr. ELKIN LUCENA QUEVEDO.
In 2003, together with Dr. Elkin, the vitrification of oocytes and embryos was introduced in Colombia.
In 2006, GESTAMOS became a shareholder of UNICAT (the clinic where we treat our patients).
In 2007, we inaugurated the first egg bank in Tolima. With the support and participation of GESTAMOS, in September 2007, the MATERNAL AND CHILD MEDICINE UNIT OF TOLIMA (UMIT) was founded. This is a neonatal and pediatric intensive care unit. Being a shareholder in these two companies allows us to strengthen the provision of services and provide COMPREHENSIVE care for all patients, from IN VITRO FERTILIZATION to bringing the baby
In May 2009, we acquired the Bettocchi office hysteroscope set. It has provided us with the ability to offer new technology to evaluate and operate inside the uterus.
In 2012, we brought the ANNEXIN COLUMNS technology to Ibagué. This allows us to select better sperm for performing ICSI.
In March 2012, the LASER equipment arrived in Ibagué; Brand: HAMILTON THORNE; Model: LIKOS 40X. We were the first Reproductive Medicine center in Colombia to have this valuable biotechnological advancement. In addition to its multiple advantages and improved pregnancy outcomes, it now allows us to perform TROPHOECTODERM BIOPSY for PGT-A.
In October 2017, the OVARIAN AND ENDOMETRIAL REJUVENATION PROGRAM was launched, which includes the use of PLATELET-RICH PLASMA. This new technology has revolutionized outcomes in terms of pregnancies for couples with a poor prognosis for success in assisted reproductive techniques (ART), who were previously destined for egg donation or surrogacy due to endometrial conditions. This technology has been a success.
In April 2022, the SEMEN BANK was inaugurated, and the EGG BANK received a new boost.
In July 2022, the SURROGACY PROGRAM was launched. This new advancement has been very important for the development and growth of GESTAMOS.
Currently, GESTAMOS offers integrative and humanized programs in reproductive and Maternal-Fetal Biomedicine with national and international presence due to our professionals' specialized and continuous formation, personalized services, and sophisticated and state-of-the-art technological equipment in the area.
