The Hidden Crisis in Embryo and Sperm Transport

For years, intended parents and clinics across Africa — especially in Nigeria — faced heartbreaking losses due to poorly managed fertility shipping. Embryos, sperm, and egg cells were being:

  • Mishandled as medical cargo in the belly of commercial planes.

  • Seized or delayed by customs, often for weeks.

  • Exposed to X-rays, damaging the DNA integrity of the cells.

  • Thawed prematurely because tanks were left too long in transit.


Families who had spent years (and often their life savings) creating embryos lost everything — not because of science, but because of logistics.

This is why Greenplace Healthcare stepped in.


The Greenplace Healthcare Difference: Hand-Carry, Not Cargo

Unlike other providers who rely on freight and cargo systems, we never ship your embryos, sperm, or egg cells as cargo.


Cargo Shipment of samples. Unsupervised and subject to X-ray.

Instead, we provide a specialist hand-carry courier service:

  • A trained medical courier personally collects your cells from the clinic.

  • Travels with them on a passenger flight (never cargo).

  • Bypasses X-rays and harmful scans using official airline and security exemptions.

  • Clears customs face-to-face with full documentation.

  • Hand-delivers directly to your receiving clinic in Nigeria.


This eliminates the risks of damage, seizures, or mishandling.

Regulated, Accredited, and Trusted

Greenplace Healthcare isn’t just another courier. We are:

  • CQC-regulated (Care Quality Commission, UK) – the same regulator that oversees NHS hospitals, care homes, and UK ambulances.

  • ISO 9001–2015 Accredited – global certification for quality management.

  • Fully Insured – covering medical malpractice, public liability, and professional liability.


Because we also operate a CQC-registered ambulance service, quality and compliance aren’t optional — they are built into everything we do.


Why Cargo Shipping Fails (and Hand-Carry Always Wins)

1. Cargo = Mishandling

Cargo handlers don’t understand cryogenic tanks. They tip them, store them incorrectly, or expose them to heat. Our couriers are cryogenics-trained and biomedical scientists supervise every step.


2. Cargo = Customs Seizures

Customs officers often don’t recognize cryogenic tanks and

may hold them for inspection, bribes, or simply confusion. With hand-carry, our courier walks the tank through customs, presents clearance papers, and ensures smooth entry.


3. Cargo = X-ray Damage

Cargo is routinely scanned. X-rays damage DNA in embryos, sperm, and eggs — leading to higher miscarriage rates or failed cycles. Our couriers carry airport security exemptions that prevent X-rays.


Cargo being x-rayed at airports can expose sensitive biological materials—like embryos, sperm, and egg cells—to harmful radiation, increasing the risk of DNA damage, failed IVF cycles, miscarriages, and reduced fertility outcomes. Hand-carry transport ensures your precious cells are never exposed to these risks

4. Cargo = Time Risk

Cryo tanks last only 14–21 days. Any delay in customs or cargo warehouses can kill your cells. With hand-carry, the courier is in motion from pick-up to delivery — no downtime.


Supporting Intended Parents and Clinics Across Nigeria

We work with:

  • Intended parents shipping embryos from the UK, US, Europe, Australia, or Asia into Nigeria for surrogacy or IVF.

  • Clinics moving donor eggs, donor sperm, or embryos between facilities.

  • Diaspora families who created embryos or sperm abroad but want treatment closer to home.


We’ve shipped hundreds of successful journeys into Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and across Africa — with zero losses, zero seizures, zero mishandling.


Why Nigeria? Why Now?

Nigeria has world-class IVF clinics and surrogacy programs. But poor shipping standards were holding patients back.

We launched our dedicated Nigeria program to guarantee:

  • Safe, reliable transport.

  • No customs risks.

  • A service that meets international standards.

Now, intended parents no longer need to risk everything on unregulated cargo shipping.
