Welcome

The Infertility Unit has been offering advanced fertility treatment in a
friendly environment since 1983. Since its inception the unit has achieved many firsts for South Africa and Africa as well as other milestones important in the treatment of human infertility. The unit is world renowned for its work in ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology) and general infertility.

 
  • The first in vitro conception and birth (29 April 1984) for South Africa and Africa. 
  • The world-wide introduction (1986) to the Tygerberg strict criteria for the evaluation
    of sperm morphology. This classification system has now been accepted by the
    World Health Organisation and has been included in their manual on semen
    evaluation.
  • The first frozen embryo conception and birth (28 January 1989) for South Africa.
  • The first conception and birth (12 October 1995) after a true intracytoplasmic sperm
    injection (ICSI) procedure for South Africa.
  • The introduction of a computerised system able to evaluate sperm morphology
    according the Tygerberg strict criteria (1999). 
The unit prides itself in being a progressive research orientated unit, thereby offering
patients the most advanced technologies and knowledge for the treatment of human
infertility in a friendly environment. Areas of specialisation that have made the unit
renowned are:
  • Evaluation of male and female fertility.
  • Treatment of endometriosis.
  • Endoscopic surgery and microsurgery.
  • Reproductive endocrinology.
