Continuing its tradition of giving back to society, University Hospital Sharjah, the leading healthcare provider in the emirate, now has its own IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation) Centre. Taking inspiration from the vision of HH Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Muhammad Al-Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, the IVF Centre is the first to open within a hospital.
The centre, which is located on the lower ground floor of UHS, provides all the primary and ancillary services related to treatment under the same roof. Patients that are treated here, need not go to another hospital in order to do their tests and other procedures.
The UHS Sharjah Fertility Centre uses the most advanced fertility technologies, combined with central expertise and compassionate staff. The centre provides reproductive endocrinology and infertility services to patients, which includes counselling the subfertile couple, arranging investigations, liaising with appropriate colleagues, and managing treatment cycles as well as offering genetic counselling and prenatal diagnosis.
In addition, the UHS IVF Centre offers all medical procedures, including: lab tests, scans, ovum pickup, micro-insemination, embryo biopsies, laser hatching, genetic testing, family balancing, sperm and ovum banking, extended culture, embryo cryopreservation and transfer. The centre understands the significance of a concerted, thorough and private network for the comfort of the patient and successful treatment.
Dr. Ali Obaid Ali Ali, CEO and member of Board of Trustees, UHS, commented, “Our aim is to offer the most advanced and globally-competitive services that bring happiness to the lives of our patients. Trust between doctors and patients is built on positive experiences and we do our best to help couples who desire to expand their families. We have a team that cares and is sensitive to the life-changing services that are provided. Our infertility experts have access to high-quality infertility treatments and the most advanced reproductive technologies available.”
The centre is well-structured, self-sufficient and equipped. It is also well staffed and has the continuous support of all UHS departments. It has easy access to the laboratory, theatre and pharmacy. Few of the many treatments that centre offers are IVF/ICSI procedures, gender selection, genetic screening and testing, gametes cryo-banking, infertility diagnosis and treatment.
The other technologies that the centre is well versed in are conventional IVF, Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), extended embryo culture (blastocyst culture), laser assisted hatching and embryo biopsy, oocytes cryopreservation and banking, sperm cryopreservation and banking and micro-surgical sperm retrieval.
“Our highly-qualified team of doctors and technicians have a passion for bringing joy to new parents. The patients will be treated with individualised care and their confidentiality will be safeguarded. We will ensure that everyone who walks out of the centre is happy,” ensured Prof. Hakam Yaseen, Medical Director and member of Board of Trustees, UHS.
