How Nairobi IVF Centre helps people start their own families

How Nairobi IVF Centre helps people start their own families

Fertility is defined as natural capacity to conceive. Normal fertility requires the production of enough healthy sperm by the male and viable eggs by the female, successful passage of the sperm through open ducts from the male testes to the female fallopian tubes, penetration of a healthy egg, and implantation of the fertilized egg in the lining of the uterus.

Sources suggest that about 90 per cent of healthy, fertile women are able to conceive within one year if they have intercourse regularly without contraception.

With changing times, fertility has increasingly become the global vexed question with sources suggesting that about 11 per cent of the couples encounter infertility (According to https://www.verywellfamily.com/fertility 4014725).

It is not only largely attributed to environmental factors, but also attributed to biological and medical conditions such as chronic diseases, hormonal imbalances etc.

Some families and couples across the world have borne the brunt of infertility with fallouts, disintegration, break-ups, divorce, social stigma and much more.

On the other hand, we have seen or heard how celebrities who have fallen victim to infertility being forced to live through excruciating trauma of cyber bullying, mockery, and any of malicious forethought acts from society.

However, how much of this world turned against these infertile and innocent persons, but technology picked their side always.

It did when it discovered a scientifically-proven means to put this global outcry to an end. In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) – the most effective form of assisted reproductive technology made them see the light at the end of the tunnel.

The procedure is usually carried out in special facilities operated by specialized doctors and embryologists, who are conversant with medical equipment, technology and medication.

And the good news is that Nairobi IVF Centre is the right place that can help with your baby dream come true across the East African region. The Nairobi-based Centre is one of the fastest growing investments in the field of assisted reproductive technologies.

The Centre’s medical director, Dr. Joshua Noreh, in an exclusive interview with The Citizen unfolded how far the facility has gone in helping their customers to have babies.


Thoughts on IVF service

He says that, “IVF is a solution to infertility or genetic problems where mature eggs are retrieved from ovaries and fertilised by sperm in a lab. After the fertilisation of female egg and male sperm, an embryo is formed and is placed in an incubator for up to 8 days after which it is implanted back to the mother’s womb.


The difference between IVF and other means

The only big difference is that IVF fertilisation is done out of the woman’s uterus while that of natural fertilisation is done right in the uterus.

Why to choose Nairobi IVF Centre He reveals that the centre is proud of having high-profile and experienced staff using modern technologies and offering a wide-range of treatment solutions.

Services at the Centre

If you have, for protracted time, tried copulation with your partner and yet no signs of probable conception, you should as soon as possible resort to the Nairobi IVF Centre for assistance. The centre offers, among other solutions, the following:-


IVF treatments

After a course of ovarian stimulation, eggs are collected from the ovaries and fertilised with sperm in a laboratory. One of the resulting embryos is then transferred back into the uterus. Therein, you will be braced with a number of treatments such as; Artificial Insemination (IUI), Ovulation Induction, Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), Intracytoplasmic Morphologically Selected Sperm Injection (IMSI), Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET), Fertility Surgery etc.


Genetic Testing

Passing on genetic disorders can be a concern if you are trying to conceive. At the Nairobi IVF Centre, you will have access to world leading preconception screening and genetic testing. Genetic testing of embryos, through Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT) at the centre helps couples wishing to avoid the transmission of a known genetic condition to their offspring.

This is especially important for women looking to be the first time mothers after the age of 35 years as they carry a higher risk of conceiving children with Down syndrome or Patau’s Syndrome. The PGT process also enables gender selection for them. Preimplantation Genetic Testing is a highly sophisticated scientific technique developed to test embryos for specific genetic or chromosomal variations prior to implantation and pregnancy.

The Nairobi IVF Centre has an in house genomic laboratory that enables PGT to be carried out in 1 day, enabling better outcomes for the couples.


Fertility preservation

At the Nairobi IVF Centre, our fertility preservation service is designed to protect and preserve your fertility for the future. We specialise in providing fertility care for cancer patients or where their fertility is at risk. Our service – the first of its kind in Kenya – has been a national and international leader in fertility preservation, running for more than 15 years.

If your fertility preservation referral is for oncology (cancer) purposes, you should mention this at the time of your appointment to see a fertility specialist to ensure that you are checked up quickly within 24-48 hours, whereby a counsellor can be available if required.


The success of the Nairobi IVF Centre

Dr Noreh says that the main achievement of the centre has been to help people to have babies of their own and start their families.

As a service offering facility, we don’t focus on financial benefits but our success has been to fulfill the dreams of thousands of people (married and single) to have a family and this is the biggest thing we have been proud of, “says the doctor. He says providing quality services at an affordable cost is another thing they feel proud of as it has helped many people to fulfill their dreams of having a family.
