Review of egg donor agency and egg donation programs in Malaysia. Beware of additional costs in Johor !
Dear Ladies, Below is a list of egg donor agencies in Malaysia. Typically, these agencies charge between 20k to 25K Malaysian ringgits, if you approach them directly. Cost will usually be higher if you ask a Malaysian IVF clinic to source egg donors for you from these agencies, typically...

Good News for all Singaporean IVF patients requiring Egg Donation !!!
Singapore has permitted import of frozen donor eggs from Egg Bank Asia, based in Penang, Malaysia. This Egg Bank has a wide and excellent choice of Chinese race egg donors. Currently there are 3 clinics in Singapore, which have either imported frozen donor eggs for their IVF patients from Egg Bank Asia, or are in negotiations to do so. These are as follows: (i) Alpha IVF Singapore, (ii) Centre for Human Reproduction at NUH, and (iii) Mt. Elizabeth Fertility Centre.
Website:
High-Quality Donor Egg Bank | Egg Bank Asia
Providing Asian Donor (Oocyte) Egg Bank for intending parents, fertility clinics and overseas egg banks who require the highest quality Chinese Egg Donors.
Phone number: +60-12-579-2006
WeChat ID: EggBankAsia

However, before importing donor eggs into Singapore, patients should note the following:
(1) Transportation of frozen donor eggs into Singapore is very expensive. Due to COVID-19 pandemic situation, the only method of import is by air-travel, land transport through the Causeway is prohibited. Current quoted cost of import through courier service: USD$1,800. The current cost of frozen donor eggs are as follows:
Known Egg Donor - USD$1,300 per frozen egg (Minimum order of 8 frozen eggs)
Anonymous Egg Donor - USD$1,000 per frozen egg (Minimum order of 8 frozen eggs)
(2) It is much cheaper to do the egg donation process in Penang (Malaysia), rather than import frozen donor eggs into an IVF clinic in Singapore. Egg Bank Asia is closely affiliated with Island Fertility Centre based in Georgetown Penang. They offer the following packages:
Entire IVF package with 8 frozen donor eggs, including medical fees - USD$ 11,500
Entire IVF package with fresh egg donation, including medical fees - USD$ 16,500
(More expensive because more than 8 eggs usually obtained from young healthy donor, typically 15 to 20 eggs per cycle)
(3) An older women can afford to wait for egg donation, unlike IVF with her own eggs. The womb (uterus) does not age as fast as her ovaries. Why not wait out the pandemic, to enjoy cheaper costs of IVF treatment at Island Fertility Centre in Penang (Malaysia), which is closely affiliated with Egg Bank Asia?
(4) For best results, it is better to do Egg Donor IVF at Island Fertility Centre in Penang (which is closely-affiliated with Egg Bank Asia), rather than importing frozen donor eggs into Singapore. Avoid using frozen donor eggs that are transferred from an egg bank. If possible, use the IVF lab that is affiliated with that egg bank. This is because the thawing protocol must be matching and compatible with the freezing (vitrification) protocol, and only the same IVF lab that performs both the freezing and thawing processes, can ensure this. Also beware that IVF success rates with frozen donor eggs are significantly lower than with fresh donor eggs (see attached bar chart below).

Egg Bank Asia says no need for embryo genetic testing (PGS or PGT-A), unless Husband has sperm problem:
All donors have been rigorously screened (blood samples) for genetic diseases:
"Our egg donors are Chinese with an average age of 23 to 28, the optimal age for achieving pregnancy and together we have over 200 donors. All of our donors are pre-screened using advanced genetic carrier screening, the most advanced in Asia as we follow the recommendations of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American College of Medical geneticists and Genomics. Our screening is designed to detect genetic mutations associated with a large number of hereditary disorders with greater than 99.9% accuracy and is performed at our partner lab in the USA."
