What fertisuisse does

Fertisuisse (legal entity: FertiSuisse AG) is a Swiss fertility clinic founded in 2014 and headquartered in Olten, Solothurn, with a second location in Basel. The company operates as a direct-to-patient reproductive medicine center offering a full spectrum of assisted reproduction services: in-vitro fertilization (IVF), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), intrauterine insemination (IUI), preimplantation genetic testing (PGT-A and PGT-M), vitrification-based social and medical freezing of eggs, sperm, embryos, and ovarian tissue, and reproductive surgery. Its underlying technology platform is a QUARTS-accredited and ISO 9001:2015-certified laboratory equipped with time-lapse embryo incubators, advanced stimulation protocols (DUOSTIM, PPOS, long protocol, DROI), and minimally invasive fertility surgery capacity. The practice positions itself around top-5 birth rates in Switzerland, validated by the Swiss FIVNAT registry.

The clinic serves a diversified patient base spanning heterosexual couples with infertility, married lesbian couples (sperm donation post-2022), single women seeking counseling (often referred abroad), cancer patients requiring oncofertility preservation, and individuals seeking social freezing. It layers a holistic care model on top of core ART — psychological support, Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncture, nutritional counseling via Oviva, yoga/mindfulness, and a fertisuisse connect peer community — delivered through in-house staff and integrated partner practitioners. Services are provided directly at the two clinic locations and via online/video consultations, with revenue generated through direct patient billing partially offset by Swiss health insurance coverage for qualifying treatments. The company is privately held, employs 15 staff, and is owned by its founders including Dr. med. Anna Raggi and PD Dr. med. Gideon Sartorius.

The business is a professional-services medical practice: revenues are generated per treatment cycle and per consultation, with no subscription, SaaS, or platform component. Go-to-market is sales-led through physician referrals (gynecologists, GPs) and direct patient acquisition via a multilingual website, educational content (Syringe School), community programs, and word-of-mouth. There is no evidence of external funding, M&A activity, or geographic expansion beyond Switzerland; growth has been organic, anchored by the 2024 certification of Fertisuisse as a training center for reproductive medicine and gynecological endocrinology and active advocacy (via SGRM board participation) for the legalization of egg donation in Switzerland.

Direct peers

• TFP (The Fertility Partnership): TFP is a pan-European fertility clinic network operating in the UK, Netherlands, Germany, and Denmark. Comparable as a multi-site fertility specialist offering IVF, ICSI, PGT, and fertility preservation under a unified brand, representing a potential roll-up partner or competitive threat if it expands into Switzerland.
• ProCrea: ProCrea is a Swiss fertility clinic group (Lugano and other locations) offering IVF, ICSI, IUI, PGT, and social freezing. Direct competitor for Swiss-resident patients, particularly in the Italian-speaking region, with comparable scope of reproductive medicine services.
• CREATE Fertility: CREATE Fertility is a UK-based fertility clinic chain specializing in IVF, ICSI, and natural/mild stimulation protocols. Compares to Fertisuisse as a specialist fertility provider with strong clinical-outcomes branding and innovation-led marketing targeting self-paying patients.

Indirectly comparable as a global incumbent shaping fertility treatment standards and patient expectations; cross-border patient referrals from Switzerland for egg donation are a known addressable flow.
• Hirslanden ( fertility services): Switzerland's largest private hospital group, with multiple sites offering reproductive medicine and IVF. Competes with Fertisuisse for premium Swiss patients seeking fertility treatment within a private-hospital setting, though fertility is one service line among many.
• Universitätsspital Basel (USB) - Fertility Clinic: USB's reproductive medicine and gynecological endocrinology unit is a Basel-based academic competitor offering IVF and ART services. Comparable as a same-geography clinical provider, anchored by the academic hospital brand and insurance coverage, but operating within a broader hospital portfolio.
