EKI-IVF Rama 9 — Bangkok Fertility & Genetic Center
About EKI-IVF Rama 9
EKI-IVF Fertility & Genetic Center, Rama 9 is a dedicated assisted reproduction clinic on the 4th–6th floors of the Worasombat Plaza Building on Rama 9 Road in Bangkok’s Huai Khwang district, a short walk from MRT Phra Ram 9 station. It was established by Ekachai Medical Care Public Company Limited (Ekachai Hospital), a Thai listed healthcare group with more than 18 years of experience in obstetrics-gynecology and pediatrics. The parent company has operated since 2003 and opened Ekachai Hospital in 2006 (source: Ekachai Hospital official website); EKI-IVF Rama 9 itself opened around 2018 (estimate; the clinic publishes no founding year).
The center runs a one-stop model: consultation, cause-specific diagnostics, and treatment are all delivered in-house by reproductive medicine physicians and an experienced embryology science team. According to the clinic’s own published figures (source: EKI-IVF official website, re-verified 2026-08-21), IVF/ICSI pregnancy rates run approximately 30–60% depending on patient age, sperm quality, and egg health, rising to as high as 70% when combined with PGT genetic screening based on EKI-IVF’s internal statistics. IUI pregnancy rates are reported at 10–15% (same source). Thai clinics are not regulated by CDC/SART, so these figures are clinic self-reported and cannot be independently verified.
Accreditations & Awards
- Thai Ministry of Public Health registration — the clinic is licensed as an ART service provider under Thai law
- AACI (American Accreditation Commission International) — held by parent company Ekachai Hospital (source: Ekachai accreditation page)
- ISO 9001:2015 quality management certification — held by parent company Ekachai Hospital for healthcare service provision
- Listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand since 2016 (ticker: EKH)
Note: Chinese-language agency platforms have claimed JCI accreditation for the EK hospital group, but this could not be independently verified — the JCI directory was inaccessible at research time and Ekachai’s official accreditation page does not display JCI (verified 2026-08-21). JCI is therefore not listed as a certification.

Thailand has a relatively open legal environment for assisted reproduction. IVF, ICSI, PGT, and egg/sperm freezing are legal and available to foreign patients. Third-party egg donation is permitted through licensed medical channels with unrelated Thai donors. Commercial surrogacy is prohibited under the Protection of Children Born by Medically Assisted Reproductive Technology Act B.E. 2558 (2015); non-commercial surrogacy is restricted to specific cases involving Thai couples. Same-sex and unmarried couples can access fertility care under Medical Council guidelines.
