What Fakih Medical Center does

Fakih Medical Center, operating commercially as Fakih IVF Fertility Center, is a privately held specialty healthcare group headquartered in Dubai, UAE, providing assisted reproductive technology (ART), genetic testing, obstetrics, gynecology, and fetal medicine services. Founded by Dr. Michael Fakih, a Reproductive Endocrinology and IVF consultant active since 1987, the group operates four GCC clinic locations — Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Al Ain in the UAE, plus Muscat, Oman (opened September 2017) — with an in-house Genetics Laboratory that the company describes as the only full-service IVF genetics lab in the Middle East. Its service portfolio covers the full IVF treatment pathway (IVF-ICSI, IUI, Natural Cycle IVF, fertility preservation), advanced male infertility procedures (MicroTESE, TESA, testicular mapping, varicocele treatment), genetic screening under its proprietary Geneus™ brand (2,205 SNPs, 350 diseases), Comprehensive Chromosomal Screening (CCS), Pre-Implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD), HLA matching, fetal medicine (including Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing), and broader OB/GYN care.

The group's underlying technology stack combines clinical embryology equipment (EmbryoScope time-lapse imaging incubator deployed first in the UAE in 2013), microsurgical male infertility capability (MicroTESE), and an in-house genetic testing laboratory operating CCS, PGD, mutation and exome screening, and the Geneus™ ethnicity-stratified panel. Vitrification protocols are reported at 80–85% oocyte survival versus ~50% for legacy slow-freeze methods, and approximately 60% pregnancy success rates are reported for women under 35 freezing 8–10 oocytes. The company monetizes through fee-for-service professional services across fertility treatment, OB/GYN, and genetic testing, accepting Thiqa insurance and offering internal finance options; international patients are coordinated via a dedicated program. GTM combines multi-clinic direct patient acquisition with doctor-to-doctor referral portals, employer/government partnerships (notably an exclusive fertility partnership with Dubai Police formalized in 2016), professional education via CPD sessions and the annual UAE Reproductive Symposium, and content marketing across website, blog, and social channels. Regulatory credentials include Ministry of Health content approval (MOH XQ01239) in Oman, JAWDA A-grade data certification, and ISO Quality Management System certification.
