Maternus

Projeto Maternus is a human reproduction center in Porto Alegre, Brazil, focused on making infertility treatment and fertility preservation more accessible. As part of the Concepção Consciente project promoted by the nonprofit Instituto Willkok, it works with private-sector partners to provide specialized care while optimizing costs and maintaining a commitment to quality and ethical practice. Its medical team includes specialists in gynecology and human reproduction, and consultations are available in person or by video call, with follow-up arranged in person or online.

Services include ovulation induction with timed intercourse, intrauterine insemination, in vitro fertilization (IVF), embryo biopsy for genetic analysis in selected cases, and egg freezing for medical or personal fertility preservation. The center also offers egg donation and recipient options for individual cases, in accordance with applicable regulations. Projeto Maternus describes its work as collaborative, connecting patients and partners and supporting broader initiatives such as food donations and a children’s library. It states that its services complement, rather than replace, care available through Brazil’s public health system.
