Fertility clinic in Cascais declares insolvency and leaves patients in limbo
The Ovom Care fertility clinic in Cascais declared insolvency on August 25, 2026, and closed its doors, leaving patients with ongoing treatments without clarification. A court-appointed administrator is now in charge, and creditors have 30 days from the court ruling to file claims. Some patients were notified via app message that embryos and gametes are being transferred to a different clinic in Lisbon, but the move lacks official justification or clear communication.
Why it mattersIf you were a patient at this clinic, your medical materials are being moved without prior consultation; you have a 30-day window from the August 25 insolvency ruling to reclaim any debts or payments through the court-appointed administrator.
