 The 2nd edition of the IVI Fertility conference titled - Latest Advances for Enhancing Success Rates in ART, ANNO 2016, recently concluded after two days of insightful discussions and meetings with 12 world-renowned speakers and over 350 participants.

 

IVI Middle East Fertility Clinic, the world’s foremost provider of fertility care services organized the event at The St. Regis Hotel, Nations Tower in the city of Abu Dhabi and was inaugurated by HE Sheikh Nahayan Mabarak Al Nahayan, Minister of Culture and Knowledge Development, UAE.

 

“This edition has seen a remarkable success with the participation of several specialists from all over the world and with long experience in the fertility health sector. I have particularly been pleased that these top specialists and researchers spoke on varied fertility factors and treatments and presented insightful talks on key areas that we seek answers in everyday as doctors. I am sure that this conference was a learning platform for the gynaecologists of the region including myself, said Dr. Human Fatemi, Medical Director, IVI Middle East Fertility Clinic.

 

The conference also highlighted the fact that the reasons for infertility in the Middle East are significantly different from those in the West and hence need a specialised research and understanding to deliver result-based treatments. The conference discussed different treatments, new protocols and latest techniques in the field of IVF. The participants also had the unique opportunity of networking with these specialists and setting up the ground for future cooperation.

 

“The goal for us in IVI is to provide a professional forum where we can discuss critical factors, treatment approaches and technologies that impact our efficiency as infertility specialists. IVI has chosen to enter the Middle East market from the UAE, and has opened two clinics – Abu Dhabi & Dubai. The clinic has already celebrated over 200 successful pregnancies within a year in the region with a success rate of over 70% - one of the highest success rates in the Middle East.”

 

IVI is indeed one of the very few institutions that undertake fundamental research to further the area of reproductive medicine, and employs innovative techniques and technologies like the CGT and the PGS to deliver result based-outcomes for its patients.

 

Dr. Fatemi explained further that the event’s target is to raise awareness on the growing incidence of infertility in UAE and the specific causes which will be highly beneficial to couples trying to achieve their dream of becoming parents.

 

To note that IVI professionals have been awarded some of the most representative prizes in the reproductive medicine sector, including seven awards from the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, the 2002 award from the Society for Gynaecological Investigation and the Ares Serono Research Award.
