Organized by a team at the hospital's Klinik Ingin Anak Permata Hati (literally; I want to have a child clinic), the seminar will delve into the applications as well as the growing popularity and acceptance of conceiving via the technology.

An interactive dialog with children born with the help of the technology will also be conducted during the seminar.
