Metro IVF Fertility Centre

Metro IVF Fertility Centre — Klang & Nationwide IVF Network, Malaysia

About Metro IVF Fertility Centre

Metro IVF Fertility Centre traces its roots to an obstetrics and gynaecology practice established in 1989. In 1996, fertility consultant Dr. Tee Swi Peng founded the Metro IVF Centre in Klang, and the clinic welcomed its first IVF baby in 2000. Since February 2018 the parent company, Metro Healthcare Berhad, has been listed on the main board of Bursa Malaysia, Malaysia’s stock exchange.

Today Metro IVF operates what it calls Malaysia’s largest IVF network — 13 fertility and maternity branches covering Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Perak, Negeri Sembilan, Melaka and Johor — with its headquarters and RTAC-accredited laboratory at Hospital Wanita Metro Klang. According to the clinic’s own website, it has supported more than 16,000 families over roughly 36 years of experience, supported by a team of around 30 doctors, trained embryologists, nurses and counsellors.

Metro IVF is also known as a pioneer of publicly private fertility partnerships in Malaysia: in 2008 its specialists helped launch the IVF Shared Care programme with government hospitals (starting with Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah, HTAR), an affordable co-management model later extended to other public institutions.

Why Choose Metro IVF

• Nationwide branch network: 13 locations across seven states mean consultations, scans and follow-ups can be done close to home, with treatment cycles anchored at the RTAC-accredited Klang headquarters
• RTAC-international standards: an Australian-accredited programme reassures overseas patients on laboratory quality, training and safety protocols
• Advanced laboratory technology: AI-assisted embryo selection (AI Score), time-lapse embryo incubation, NGS-based PGT — Metro IVF is among the first Malaysian centres using NGS — and endometrial receptivity analysis (ERA) for recurrent implantation failure
• Full-spectrum women’s care: beyond ART, the group provides obstetrics (antenatal, delivery), diagnostic imaging, laboratory tests and health screening, so fertility treatment, pregnancy and delivery sit under one roof
• Multilingual, internationally experienced team: services in English, Bahasa Malaysia and Chinese, with doctors trained in Singapore, Australia, India, the US and Europe
• Corporate governance: as part of a listed company, pricing, patient records and operations follow audited, transparent standards

IVF & Fertility Services

• Fertility assessment: history review, physical and pelvic examination, transvaginal ultrasound, hormone blood tests and semen analysis; first visit ideally on cycle days 2-5
• Ovulation induction (OI) with monitoring, and intrauterine insemination (IUI) as first-line treatments
• IVF + ICSI: full cycles including controlled ovarian stimulation, egg retrieval, sperm processing, ICSI fertilisation, embryo culture and transfer
• PGT / PGD with NGS: next-generation screening for chromosome abnormalities (Down, Edwards and Patau syndromes) and single-gene diseases such as cystic fibrosis, beta-thalassaemia, Huntington’s disease and haemophilia, for medical indications
• AI-assisted embryo selection: algorithmic scoring of embryo micrographs to rank implantation potential after failed transfers or when several embryos are available
• ERA (endometrial receptivity analysis): gene-expression testing to pinpoint the personalized window of implantation, mainly for recurrent implantation failure
• Blastocyst culture and assisted hatching
• Frozen embryo transfer (FET) alongside sperm, egg and embryo freezing by vitrification at -196°C; the clinic reports FET pregnancy rates comparable to fresh transfers
• Surgical sperm retrieval (SSR) for male-factor infertility
• Time-lapse embryo incubation for continuous embryo development monitoring
• Obstetric and women’s health services: pre-pregnancy screening, antenatal and postnatal care, normal and caesarean delivery, imaging and health screening

Fees & Packages

Metro IVF does not publish a public price list for its treatments. The website runs seasonal promotions — including 2026 IVF, IUI and fertility screening offers, plus normal delivery and caesarean delivery packages — but exact figures are quoted only after an inquiry form is submitted and a consultation is booked. As a guideline for international patients: costs at Malaysian private fertility centres are generally far below those in Singapore, Japan or Western countries, with an RTAC-accredited standard of care. Contact the clinic for a current written quote covering consultation, medication, laboratory work and any add-ons such as PGT or freezing.

Patient Journey

Based on the clinic’s published treatment pathway:

1. Consultation & fertility assessment — booked ideally for days 2-5 of the menstrual cycle: history, physical and pelvic exam, blood hormone panel and semen analysis
2. Follow-up investigations timed to the cycle — day 2-5 hormone testing, day 8 tubal patency testing, day 12 follicle maturity scan; further options include laparoscopy
3. First-line treatment — medication and ovulation induction, often combined with timed intercourse or IUI
4. Advanced ART — if needed, an IVF/ICSI cycle: stimulation, trigger, egg retrieval under the RTAC-accredited lab, ICSI fertilisation, culture (to blastocyst where appropriate), optional PGT/ERA-guided transfer
5. Pregnancy test and antenatal follow-up — beta-hCG testing after transfer, then pregnancy care through Metro’s maternity services
6. Delivery — normal or caesarean delivery within the Metro hospital network, with 24-hour inpatient ward services at selected branches

International patients can start with a remote consultation, then plan an approximately 2-4 week on-site stay for a monitored cycle, with follow-up at the branch nearest their home in Malaysia where possible.

Local Legal Framework

Assisted reproduction in Malaysia is regulated under the Ministry of Health’s National ART Policy (2008), which Metro IVF specialists helped draft. Key rules for patients:

• Eligibility: treatment is restricted to legally married heterosexual couples using their own gametes
• Egg and sperm donation: donor gamete programmes are not permitted; egg donation is prohibited
• Surrogacy: commercial surrogacy is prohibited; non-commercial arrangements are allowed only for Muslim couples under specific religious conditions
• Embryo protection: embryos are treated as potential life and subject to strict protections
• PGT: permitted for medical indications, so couples at risk of genetic disease can screen embryos
• LGBT patients: same-sex couples cannot access fertility treatment under current law

Malaysia combines high-quality private reproductive care with a Muslim-majority cultural context, making it a common destination for Malaysian, Indonesian and regional patients who need Sharia-compatible guidance alongside clinical service.
