Why Choose Medfem
The key to choosing the right clinic is to choose the one that feels right for you. We understand that undergoing fertility treatment is a highly stressful and emotional time and we therefore put your physical and emotional well-being above all other considerations. Medfem Fertility Clinic is staffed by a committed and understanding team of medical and nursing professionals who have the experience, knowledge, and desire to provide you with the best chance of a successful outcome at the end of your treatment.
Unparalleled Success
With more than 100 years of collective experience diagnosing and treating infertility, Medfem Fertility Clinic is a national leader in fertility care. Since 1980, our specialist team has played a role in bringing more than 16,000 babies into the world. We are very proud of our high rate of pregnancies and live births per transfer.
Having successfully implemented some of the very first IVF procedures in South Africa, the fertility specialists at Medfem Fertility Clinic are nationally and internationally recognised as pioneers and innovators in the field of infertility treatment. Dr Johan van Schouwenburg was involved in the first successful IVF treatment carried out in South Africa in 1983.
Compassionate Care
While infertility statistics are meaningful and important, they cannot measure how we treat our patients during the process. Daily, we must earn the continuing trust and respect of our patients and our colleagues. We are proud of the enduring relationships we have created with the many individuals who have passed through our doors. From the receptionist to the doctor who does your transfer, everyone at Medfem Fertility Clinic is dedicated to your success. Our administration, finance, embryology, and medical staff are here to ensure you not only have the best experience possible during this journey but the highest chance for success.
Individualised Care
At Medfem Fertility Clinic you will be offered an individualised treatment plan tailored to your unique situation. Whether you are new to fertility treatments or have had treatment before or elsewhere, our team will assess your personal history from start to finish giving you the best possible chance at building your family.
The Science of IVF Success
At Medfem Fertility Clinic we have been leading the way in fertility advances for over 30 years. We invest significantly in R&D, and ensure our facilities are equipped with world-class technology. From years of experience in developing our culture media (those vital solutions that nurture your embryos outside the body) through to our incubators and freezing techniques, our expertise shows throughout the IVF journey. This legacy of proactive R&D has produced techniques for developing individual treatment plans which result in a high level of success in even the most difficult cases. When you join the Medfem Fertility Clinic team as a patient you will benefit not only from the expertise of our specialists but also from the combined knowledge and innovation of the entire group.
Located near the Sandton MediClinic, the Medfem Fertility Clinic is a purpose-built medical and surgical facility.
