Description
Founded in 2016 (originally as SellmerDiers) Born Donor Bank is a Danish located sperm bank that combines a personalized approach with the international reach of its parent company, the Medicover Group. Based in Aarhus with additional clinics in Copenhagen, Odense, and Aalborg, Born provides support to individuals and families on their path to parenthood.
