Dr. Melanie Kuan Lih Jiun

About

Dr. Melanie Kuan Lih Jiun is a Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist and fertility specialist at Alpha IVF & Women’s Specialists, practising at the Kota Damansara headquarters and the group’s Johor Bahru centre. She graduated from Melaka-Manipal Medical College in 2010, earned her MRCOG (UK) membership in 2018, and completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Sexual & Reproductive Medicine at the University of South Wales in 2025.

Her career spans both public and private practice in Malaysia: she served as an O&G Specialist at Sabah State Women’s and Children’s Hospital, handling high-acuity inpatient and emergency obstetric and gynaecological cases, and later as Consultant O&G at TMC Fertility and Women’s Specialist Centre in Puchong from 2021. Across various local hospitals she has worked extensively in inpatient and outpatient obstetrics and gynaecology units, with a stated passion for reproductive medicine.

Dr. Melanie is fluent in English, Mandarin, Cantonese and Malay, which allows her to build rapport quickly with Malaysia’s multiracial patient base and with international patients from Chinese-speaking communities.

Clinical Expertise

• Systematic female infertility diagnosis: ovulatory dysfunction workup, tubal patency testing, ovarian reserve assessment and uterine cavity evaluation to identify the cause before choosing treatment
• Male infertility screening: semen analysis interpretation, initial diagnosis of male factor infertility, and pragmatic recommendations for IUI, IVF or ICSI
• Fertility preservation counselling: grounded in her postgraduate sexual and reproductive medicine training, she provides individualised advice on egg freezing for age-related, medical or career-related family planning
• Full-journey cycle management: from baseline assessment through stimulation, egg retrieval and embryo transfer, patients are followed by the same consultant at every step

Why Choose Dr. Melanie

MRCOG certification — assessed through demanding written and clinical examinations — places her obstetrics and gynaecology practice on the UK-international standard, one of the most recognised credentials in the Commonwealth system. Her 2025 Postgraduate Diploma in Sexual & Reproductive Medicine means her knowledge of reproductive endocrinology, fertility preservation and sexual medicine was refreshed against the latest curricula very recently.

The public-then-private path is a genuine clinical advantage: emergency-heavy training at a state women’s hospital gives her sound judgement about when findings matter, while years in a private fertility centre gave her the detail-oriented cycle management skills of dedicated ART practice. For international patients, her four-language capability means consent discussions, protocol explanations and reassurance all happen in the patient’s own language — better understanding, better adherence, less travel stress.

Certifications

• MRCOG, Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, UK (2018)
• Postgraduate Diploma in Sexual & Reproductive Medicine, University of South Wales, UK (2025)
• MBBS, Melaka-Manipal Medical College (2010)

Suitable For

• English, Mandarin, Cantonese or Malay speaking patients: four-language consultations substantially lower the communication barrier for local and international patients
• Women starting an infertility workup: systematic evaluation of ovulation, tubes, ovarian reserve and uterine cavity by a gynaecologist who can also address the underlying condition
• Couples beginning fertility treatment: male factor screening and joint planning of IUI/IVF/ICSI pathways in one consultation
• First-visit patients who want continuity: those preferring a single consultant to manage everything from initial assessment through to embryo transfer rather than being handed between doctors
