SPONSORED FEATURE
THE CENTRES OF EXCELLENCE
IN FERTILITY TREATMENT
The staff
Excellence, innovation, quality, and integrity are the
core values patients will experience when they visit
the fertility centres at Alpha IVF Group, a leading
fertility group in Southeast Asia which consists of Alpha
IVF & Women’s Specialists Centre in Kuala Lumpur,
Genesis IVF & Women’s Specialist Centre in Penang,
and Alpha IVF Centre & Alpha Women’s Specialists in
Singapore.
“The group believes that in vitro fertilisation, or IVF,
resembles a chain that involves numerous processes,
techniques, and procedures. It’s therefore important that
this chain be optimised at every juncture and every step,”
said Dato’ Dr Colin Lee, the group’s founder and medical
director. “Our philosophy is that the chain is as strong as
its weakest link, and we go all out to ensure the health
of these links, such as removing bottlenecks, so that the
final result is optimised in terms of pregnancy rates for
each patient.”
With clinics in Malaysia and Singapore, the team at
Alpha IVF Group is constantly striving to improve fertility
techniques that can help patients conceive, especially
those with very limited chance of achieving pregnancy.
“An integrated system of doctors, embryologists,
geneticists, nursing teams, and ancillary staff makes a
�uid, seamless, and e�cient team,� said Dr �eong Wai
Yew, a consultant O&G and fertility specialist at Alpha’s
�agship centre in �uala �umpur. �A dedicated team
and a holistic approach to reproductive science, be it
research and development, publications, or investments
in the latest IVF technologies, enable optimal outcomes.”
A key strength of the centre is its culture process,
which ensures every embryo realises its full potential.
It does this with the help of a time-lapse embryoscope
that constantly monitors embryo development by taking
pictures at fixed intervals. �mbryologists at Alpha then
review the images and identify the embryos with the
best pregnancy potential based on parameters like cell
division patterns.
