US EditionAustralia's Monash IVF CEO quits days after second embryo mix-up in 2 months
- Michael Knaap, the chief executive of Monash IVF, stepped down on June 8 following the clinic’s admission of a second embryo transfer error at its Clayton site on June 5.
- The resignation followed an earlier April incident at the Brisbane clinic where a woman was mistakenly implanted with another couple's embryo and gave birth to their child.
- Monash IVF has apologized for both errors, announced internal investigations, and is improving checks, including electronic witnessing to prevent future mistakes.
- Last year, the company paid $56 million to resolve litigation brought by 700 families and is currently under active investigation by health regulators led by authorities in Victoria.
- The incidents prompted calls for stronger national regulation, DNA testing for IVF children, and highlighted concerns about the IVF sector's governance and patient trust.
