Assisted Reproduction & Gynaecology Centre

What Assisted Reproduction & Gynaecology Centre does

Assisted Reproduction & Gynaecology Centre (ARGC) is a London-based private fertility clinic founded in 1995 by Medical Director Mohamed Taranissi, operating from four central London locations (Upper Wimpole Street, Harley Street, Weymouth Street and Portland Place) under a single clinical team and protocol stack. The clinic delivers a comprehensive portfolio of fertility treatments including IVF/ICSI, egg freezing, frozen embryo replacement, intrauterine insemination (IUI), donor treatments, reproductive immunology, pre-implantation genetic testing (PGT-A and PGT-M) and shared motherhood IVF, with two wholly-owned subsidiaries — Reproductive Genetics Institute (RGI, established 2002) and London Fertility Centre (LFC, brought into full operation in 2017) — centralising reproductive genetics and natural IVF respectively. Each site holds its own HFEA licence under the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority Act 1990, and ARGC is registered with the Care Quality Commission and compliant with UK GDPR.

ARGC's commercial model is direct-to-consumer with pay-as-you-go pricing rather than fixed packages. Treatments are personalised, with patients paying a deposit at cycle commencement and settling at egg collection; revenue streams include one-time procedure fees (e.g., IVF base £3,750, ICSI £1,300, egg freezing £2,900, FER £2,015 including HFEA fee), ancillary diagnostics and pathology (immunology screens £1,150, blood tests £800-£2,200+), consultations (£200 initial / £150 follow-up), and recurring storage fees (£300/year for embryos, eggs and sperm). The clinic operates 365 days a year with intensive daily monitoring protocols (often twice-daily blood tests and scans) and serves a patient base skewed toward complex and recurrent-failure cases — over 80% of patients have had unsuccessful cycles elsewhere — yet achieves HFEA-verified success rates roughly twice the UK national average across all age brackets.

Go-to-market is consumer-led through the argc.co.uk website, ASHA (an AI fertility assistant launched in beta in 2024 and trained on 30 years of proprietary clinical data), free 15-minute advisory calls, and active social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube), with patient testimonials functioning as the primary conversion asset. The business is privately held under A. R. G. C. Limited (Companies House registration 04038272), with no disclosed external investment, and relies on the founder's clinical reputation and accumulated outcomes data as its principal sources of differentiation.
