The Cape fertility Clinic was established in 1993. It is situated in Cape Town, South Africa, one of the most beautiful cities worldwide

A modern sophisticated laboratory allows all the latest assisted conception techniques to be used with great success. There are approximately 850 IVF (in vitro fertilization) cycles performed each year. It is one of the largest IVF centers in South Africa.

We provide a friendly, caring environment to help couples cope with fertility treatment. Our IVF coordinators and a psychologist are available to provide additional counseling. Our premises are purpose built within an IVF procedure room, laboratory and embryo transfer room all adjacent to our main reception and staff offices

Our medical team consists of four Specialists in Reproductive Medicine:
- Dr. Sulaiman Heylen
- Dr. Paul le Roux
- Dr. Klaus Wiswedel
- Dr. Saleema Nosarka
two IVF coordinators and three embryologists.

All types of assisted conception treatment are offered at the clinic including advanced procedures such as IVF (In Vitro Fertilization), ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection), testicular sperm extraction, sperm and egg donation and surrogacy. Advanced fertility surgery using minimal invasive techniques (key hole surgery) is performed at the clinic which includes operative hysteroscopy and laparoscopy.

We have designed our program at the Cape fertility Clinic around minimal medical intervention to offer a safe and effective service to our patients. We aim to reduce disruption to our patients' lives during a stressful time. Our Fertility Specialists oversee and direct their own patient's medical treatment, and care for their own patients during procedures. However we work in a team, and all difficult problems are discussed within the team.

The laboratory is equipped with the newest high-magnification ICSI microscope. This helps the embryologist in selecting the best spermatozoa. High-magnification ICSI can improve clinical outcomes in couples with previous repeated conventional ICSI failures.

The Cape Fertility Clinic is located in the scenic Southern suburbs of Cape Town, under the eves of the picturesque Constantia Mountains and the back of Table Mountain. The Clinic is situated in the Claremont Medical Village in the vibrant and fast developing suburb of Claremont.

All Assisted Reproduction procedures are performed at the premises of the Cape Fertility Clinic. Laparoscopical and Hysteroscopical procedures are performed at Kingsbury Hospital. This is located across the street from the Cape Fertility Clinic.
