How Surrogacy4All Screens Surrogates in Ghana for Safety and Health

Surrogacy is a life-changing partnership built on trust, transparency, and responsible medical standards. At Surrogacy4All, the surrogates we work with in Ghana go through one of the most rigorous screening processes in the region. This ensures that every intended parent begins their journey with confidence—knowing their surrogate is physically healthy, emotionally prepared, and legally protected.

Below is a full breakdown of how Surrogacy4All screens, evaluates, and approves surrogates in Ghana.

Initial Eligibility Review

Every surrogate must meet essential baseline criteria before entering the medical program. These include:

• Age between 21–35 years
  
• Must have given birth to at least one healthy child
  
• No major medical, surgical, or genetic complications
  
• Non-smoker and free of substance abuse
  
• Stable family environment and consent from partner/spouse (if applicable)
  
• Must live in a safe, consistent, and supportive home environment
  

This first step ensures only candidates with proven fertility and stability move forward.

Once a candidate qualifies preliminarily, Surrogacy4All arranges a full medical examination with licensed fertility specialists in Ghana.

Medical screening includes:

• Full physical examination
  
• Pelvic exam & ultrasound
  
• Uterine assessment (to ensure ability to safely carry a pregnancy)

• A safe and hygienic living environment
  
• Access to clean water, sanitation, and electricity
  
• Stable family relationships
  
• Daily habits that support a healthy pregnancy
  

This helps confirm that the surrogate’s lifestyle supports maternal and fetal wellbeing.

Financial & Legal Disclosure

• Are not in financial distress that forces them into surrogacy
  
• Have a full understanding of their legal rights

…are submitted to the partnering fertility clinic for final approval.
