Chinese mainland's first case involving a test-tube baby operation was concluded on Thursday.

A woman who claimed doctors provided "faulty and negligent" infertility treatment lost her case in Shantou, a city of south China's Guangdong Province.

The woman, a master of medicine surnamed Jiang, also accused the Number 1 hospital affiliated to the Medical School of Shantou University of irregularities during the process of treatment between July and December 1999.

She asked a 2.14 million yuan of compensation fee but Chief Judge Li Jianlong of Shantou Intermediate People's Court only awarded her 8,657 yuan after a panel of medical experts told the court the operation had been conducted in a scientific and standard way.

Her claim is the Chinese mainland's first case involving a test-tube baby operation.

Test-tube baby technology is in great demand in China. There are 200 medical centers across the country offering infertility treatment.
