What Fakih IVF does

Fakih IVF Fertility Center is a GCC-focused fertility and reproductive healthcare provider founded in 2011 by Dr. Michael Fakih, operating the first private IVF center in Dubai and expanding to 8 clinic locations across the UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, Khalifa City, Madinat Zayed), Oman, Qatar, and Lebanon. The company's core offering centers on IVF-ICSI, complemented by family balancing (gender selection), comprehensive chromosomal screening (CCS), pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), HLA matching, male infertility treatments (MicroTESE, TESA), fertility preservation (egg, embryo, sperm freezing), IUI, natural cycle IVF, fetal medicine, and OB/GYN services. Its technology stack includes the first EmbryoScope in the UAE for continuous embryo monitoring, AI-powered embryology laboratories at the new Khalifa City clinic (March 2026), and an in-house full-service genetics laboratory capable of CCS, PGD, mutation screening, exome screening, and HLA matching.

The business operates a professional-services revenue model with per-cycle unit pricing denominated in AED (e.g., AED 2,625 per egg freezing renewal cycle), accepts medical insurance, and runs direct-to-consumer clinic operations supplemented by dedicated international patient support. The go-to-market combines direct clinic acquisition with content marketing, Instagram, WhatsApp booking, and patient testimonials; the company is wholly owned by Blue Ocean Health Group following its 2024 acquisition of NMC Healthcare's 65% stake. Fakih IVF holds UAE MOH licensing (AR19840) and ISO 9001 certification, employs 501-1,000 staff across 30+ doctors with international credentials (FRCOG, Yale/USC-trained founder), and reports serving 35,000+ families since inception.

Products and services

• IVF-ICSI (In Vitro Fertilization with Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection) Core assisted reproductive technology service in which eggs collected from the female partner are fertilized with sperm in the embryology laboratory; ICSI involves injecting a single sperm into each retrieved egg using a precision needle to increase fertilization chances. Targeted at couples with infertility including male factor issues, blocked tubes, or failed prior treatments.
• Family Balancing (Gender Selection) Gender selection service combining IVF with Comprehensive Chromosomal Screening to allow families to balance family composition through pre-implantation genetic testing of embryos, with reported accuracy nearing 100%.
• Genetic Testing Services Comprehensive genetic testing services including Comprehensive Chromosomal Screening (CCS), Pre-Implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD), HLA Matching for bone marrow donor compatibility, mutation screening, exome screening, and premarital/preconception screening, performed in Fakih IVF's in-house Genetics Laboratory.
• IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) Artificial insemination procedure that places sperm directly into the uterus to facilitate fertilization, used as a less invasive first-line fertility treatment for select patients.
• Male Infertility Treatments Specialized male-factor infertility services including MicroTESE (microdissection testicular sperm extraction), TESA (testicular sperm aspiration), testicular mapping, semen analysis, varicocele treatment, and vasectomy reversal.
• Natural Cycle IVF IVF treatment performed without fertility medications, retrieving and fertilizing the single egg produced naturally during a menstrual cycle.
• Fertility Preservation (Egg, Sperm, and Embryo Freezing) Fertility preservation services including egg freezing, sperm freezing, and embryo freezing with renewal packages (e.g., AED 2,625 per cycle for egg freezing, AED 2,100 per cycle for sperm freezing), enabling individuals to preserve reproductive potential for future family building.
• Fetal Medicine Services Prenatal care services including ultrasound scans, non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), and invasive diagnostic tests for fetal health assessment during pregnancy.
