ASSISTED REPRODUCTIVE TECHNOLOGY (ART)
IN VITRO FERTILISATION (IVF) is an everchanging dynamic field that has
undergone many milestones over the past 5 decades. Since, the time the
1st ever conceived IVF baby Louise Brown was born in 1978, there has been
a sea change in the technology of IVF and infertility management. Also, the
IVF technique has evolved rapidly to give better success rates, pregnancies
and live births. Therefore, it is important that we update our techniques and
equipment to give our clients the best facilities and success rates.

We at Mediheal Group of Hospitals since 2014 have had a tremendous
surge in the number of clients coming for IVF as a result of our very good
success rates. We are currently operating at three centres for assisted
reproduction – Nairobi and Eldoret in Kenya. Kigali in Rwanda. We manage
treatment for 1200 couples annually and have a success rate of 60-70%
clinical pregnancy rate. At the time of writing this article, there have been
6000 babies born through IVF treatment in our Mediheal Group hospitals
in East Africa. Due to our impeccable track record in this region for quality
management and success rates in the management of infertility we have
been encouraged to set up highly specialized centres in other parts of
Kenya, as well as in Uganda and DRC, with an aim to offer quality care
