About
Of the centre’s reproductive-medicine specialists, Dr. Derek Lo Chak Cheung is the one medically trained in the UK in Scotland — he read medicine at the University of Dundee before qualifying with the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and taking a fellowship of the Hong Kong Academy of Medicine. He now practises reproductive medicine at Prolivfic A.R.T Centre in Central.
His day-to-day work is the fertility cycle itself: from baseline assessment and stimulation through monitoring, retrieval and transfer, keeping a couple on one plan rather than restarting the assessment with each new stage.
Clinical Expertise
- IVF and embryo transfer: Oversees stimulation, egg retrieval and transfer, tailoring the protocol to age and ovarian reserve.
- Cycle management: Handles the through-line of a treatment — initial review, scan monitoring, trigger timing, and luteal support after transfer.
- Infertility assessment: Works up tubal, ovulatory and unexplained infertility to choose between IUI and IVF.
Why Choose Dr. Lo
Dr. Lo keeps a patient on one continuous plan across the whole cycle, so assessment and treatment sit with the same doctor at a CHRT-licensed centre.
His training is genuinely international — a Dundee medical degree, Royal College OB-GYN membership and a Hong Kong Academy fellowship — and he consults in Cantonese and English, which matters for overseas and mainland families arranging a short-stay cycle in Hong Kong.
Professional Affiliations
He holds an MBChB from the University of Dundee, is a Member of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (MRCOG), and a Fellow of the Hong Kong Academy of Medicine in Obstetrics and Gynaecology (FHKAM).
Suitable For
- Couples planning IVF: He sets the stimulation and transfer plan around the woman’s age and reserve and follows the cycle.
- Cross-border patients: As a specialist at a licensed centre, he sees international families who want treatment completed in Hong Kong.
- Multi-language consultations: Cantonese and English let him brief patients directly, without interpretation between specialist and couple.
