As June marks World Infertility Month, TMC Fertility @ Thomson Hospital Kota Damansara is shedding light on Malaysia's ongoing battle with infertility and the critical advancements in fertility preservation. In an exclusive media event, experts from TMC Fertility shared insights on the latest developments in this field, reinforcing their commitment to supporting individuals and couples through cutting-edge technology, expertise, and patient-centred care.

Infertility affects approximately 10 to 15% of couples in Malaysia, with both men and women facing various obstacles on their journey to parenthood. Dr Aldrin Lie Tze Min, Medical Director, Consultant Obstetrician & Gynaecologist, Fertility Specialist, explained, "Infertility is certainly a growing concern in Malaysia, affecting an increasing number of couples each year. However,  understanding your available options and proactive planning are essential in addressing these issues." 

Advancements in fertility preservation have provided new hope for many. Dr Khairun Marina binti Bachok, Consultant Obstetrician & Gynaecologist, Fertility Specialist, said, "As an early player in fertility preservation in Malaysia, we have garnered extensive experience in this field, resulting in embryo/oocyte/sperm freezing and thawing survival rate of near 100%. It's crucial for individuals to be aware of options modern technology and medical innovation can provide us today."

For those facing conditions or undergoing treatment which can cause infertility, fertility preservation techniques today have evolved to provide an avenue for building families in the future. Prof. Dr Prasanna Supramaniam, Associate Professor, Consultant Obstetrician & Gynaecologist, Fertility Specialist, Subspecialist in Reproductive Medicine, Minimally Invasive Gynaecological Surgeon, emphasised, "Fertility preservation has evolved tremendously in providing hope for women who face issues such as endometriosis and for those who may need to undergo treatments that may render them infertile such as cancer treatment. The innovation of Ovarian Tissue Cryopreservation provides hope for a family for these women through  specialised IVF services."

As part of its commitment to advancing reproductive health, TMC Fertility has consistently been at the forefront of offering innovative fertility preservation techniques. Tee Sze Tian, Group Chief Embryologist, said, "Today, modern technology and techniques used have significantly improved the success rates of fertility treatments. Our focus is more than just providing state-of-the-art technology but delivering personalised care to ensure the strongest possible outcomes for our patients."

Marking three decades of service, the healthcare group’s ongoing 'Celebrating Life' campaign underscores the centre’s dedication to bringing hope and joy to families. With four other TMC Fertility branches in Puchong, Penang, Ipoh and Johor Bahru, we record an IVF success rate of between 55 - 65%, with more than 6,400 IVF babies born to date.

“As one of the pioneer fertility centres of the nation, TMC Fertility is a forerunner in bringing solutions for fertility challenges faced by Malaysians and international patients. As we celebrate 30 years of turning hope into joy, we want to assure the public that there are many options available for those facing challenges with infertility, and we can journey this together,” explained Ms Lakshmi Menon, CEO of TMC Fertility.

In supporting women and men in exploring fertility preservation services, TMC Fertility @ Thomson Hospital offers a complimentary 15-minute chit chat session with fertility experts every second and fourth week of the month to encourage healthy conversation and informed decision making for every individual’s future. TMC Fertility also celebrates the success stories of families who have benefited from its services, fostering a sense of hope and possibility, reinforcing the centre’s role as a trusted partner in reproductive health.
