Virtus Health, the worldwide fertility leader, has announced the opening of IVF(SG), a new private fertility facility in Singapore. IVF(SG) seeks to make private IVF treatment accessible to all Singapore couples through an innovative style of care, positioning itself as an alternative to both public hospitals and more expensive abroad options.

IVF(SG) distinguishes itself by its dedication to offering economical, effective, and scientifically sound fertility therapy. IVF(SG) is Virtus Health's second clinic in Singapore, joining Virtus reproductive Centre Singapore (VFCS). It offers a simpler and science-driven treatment strategy, as well as a team-based approach to reproductive care. This novel strategy offers quick access to reproductive treatment while keeping expenditures to a minimal.

One of the primary features of IVF(SG) is its fixed pricing structure, which offers private IVF fertility services at a competitive charge of SGD$12,888. Furthermore, patients can use Medisave to defray treatment costs, with a lifetime limit of SGD$15,000.

Timothy Kwan, Managing Director of Virtus Health Asia, expressed delight at the debut of this new care model, emphasising their commitment to breaking down barriers to fertility care in Singapore. According to Kwan, "couples face significant emotional and financial burdens when seeking fertility treatment." However, we feel that prices should not be an impediment to starting a family in Singapore."

IVF(SG) addresses issues that exist in both the public and private reproductive treatment sectors, such as higher prices associated with private fertility centres and lengthy wait periods for first consultations at public hospitals. Dr. Yeong Cheng Toh, Clinical Director of IVF(SG), emphasised the necessity of prompt access to fertility therapy, describing it as a critical component in the success of conception.

The clinic makes use of cutting-edge equipment and expertise from the Virtus Health laboratory, which is managed by a highly experienced embryology team led by renowned IVF scientist Dr. Liow Swee Lian. IVF(SG) is located within the same medical complex as VFCS and provides a referral pathway to VFCS for more complex cases that cannot be treated at the facility.

Dr. Liow Swee Lian, Scientific Director of VFCS, emphasised the importance of laboratory quality in attaining effective IVF outcomes. He went on to say, "Success in bringing home a baby is highly dependent on the quality of the laboratory, which not only includes the state-of-the-art technology but also the skills of the embryologists working within the laboratory."

IVF(SG) has qualified fertility nurses specialised in fertility care and IVF treatments to assist patients. The clinic's fertility specialist team works on a roster basis, ensuring that patients benefit from the expertise of a collaborative team throughout their treatment journey.

The launch of IVF(SG) is a big step forward in making fertility therapy more accessible and affordable in Singapore. Virtus Health is dedicated to providing couples with a viable and reasonable choice for their reproductive journey by combining a simple, science-driven methodology with stable and cheap pricing.
