Authorities in the north said on Wednesday that a company linked to an IVF centre attempted to transfer four embryos through Tymbou (Ercan) airport before completing the required licensing process, following the arrest of a 24-year-old man allegedly caught carrying the embryos in his luggage.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the north’s ‘health ministry’ said the company had submitted an application last Friday seeking approval for the embryo transfer.
