The GCC healthcare industry is growing at a fast pace, particularly the infertility treatment sector, as IVI Middle East launches its new fertility clinic in Muscat - its third clinic in the Middle East after Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

The clinic offers the most comprehensive range of infertility treatments including genetic testing, backed by high tech infrastructure and a team of highly experienced subspecialists.

IVI Middle East is a part of Equipo IVI, headquartered in Spain, the undisputed world leader in the field of infertility treatments with 61 clinics worldwide and having delivered over 135,000 babies. IVI commenced its Middle East operations with the first fertility clinic in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Within a short span of a year, the centre witnessed a high success rate of over 70 per cent with over 200 successful pregnancies. Dr Human Fatemi, the medical director of IVI ME, attributes this high success rate to an in-depth understanding of region-specific causes of infertility amongst couples and a personalized treatment approach.

“We are very pleased to open our new facility in Muscat. There’s a rising demand for infertility treatments in the Middle East and it is our social responsibility to ensure that we offer our quality services to those who need it,” said CEO, IVI Middle East, Suresh Soni.

“With this launch, we aim to raise the bar of IVF services in Oman by introducing the latest technologies and international protocols to help couples realise their dream of parenthood. This clinic provides give couples access to the most advanced IVF treatments with best-in-class infrastructure and subspecialists. We endeavour to deliver successful treatments and bring joy to the lives of deprived couples desirous of having children,” added Dr. Fatemi.

The clinic is centrally located in Al Khuwair and hence offers great accessibility to couples. The friendly patient care staff ensures that couples evaluating IVF are walked through all possible details on their treatment and expected results. IVI Fertility believes that transparency in treatments and pricing are two most important things when handling patients.

The Valencian Infertility Institute (IVI) was founded in 1990 as the first medical institute in Spain purely dedicated to assisted reproduction. Today it is a world leader both in the scientific community and for all couples unable to have children without assistance. With 61 clinics across Spain, US, UK, Argentina, Brazil, India, Chile, Mexico, Panama, Portugal and Turkey, IVI has secured its position as a pioneer in internationalising medical professionalism. As well as being one of the medical groups with the most international awards for scientific advances and publications, IVI has pioneered numerous reproductive methods that have led to events such as the birth of babies who are free of hereditary diseases carried by their parents.

Infertility treatments are a group practice at IVI ME with Dr Fatemi leading a team of six senior IVF subspecialists and 6 experienced embryologists. The Muscat clinic has the capacity to undertake over 150 IVF treatments in a month. With the opening of IVI Fertility Clinic in Muscat, patients will have access to international standards of fertility care and will not have to bear the additional burden of travelling outside of the region for such treatments.

An industry report states that the GCC healthcare sector will record 12.1 per cent compound annual growth rate between 2015 and 2020. A number of factors drive the growth in the healthcare market making it an attractive target for investors. GCC population growth (4.4 per cent per annum on average over the last 10 years) and rising costs are key factors driving growth in the industry.

In recent years, Oman has taken major steps to rejuvenate the healthcare system in the nation. With the launch of the fertility centre in Muscat, IVI Middle East Fertility Clinics consolidates its position as a leading chain of IVF clinics across the Middle East.
