A fertility clinic in Cascais has declared insolvency, leaving patients, mostly British, without answers about their treatments. The bankruptcy came just five days after the clinic published its latest video on Instagram, surprising those who expected ongoing support.

According to reports, patients who had embryos transferred to the clinic now find themselves in an uncertain situation, with the embryos moved to another health facility without prior notification.

The clinic's insolvency has caused concern and discomfort among the women undergoing treatment, as they have no access to information about the next steps. Many of these patients have been waiting for months for responses from healthcare professionals.

The relevant authorities are being involved in this situation, as patients demand clarification regarding the management of their treatments and the future of their embryos. While some have already filed complaints, the repercussions of this case are still being assessed.
