Mbombela boasts with the first fertility clinic in the entire Lowveld.
This also bodes well for neighbouring countries, Mozambique and Swaziland, which have already started benefiting from this world-class facility.

“In February Surgiclinic Fertility officially opened its doors to the region and her two neighbouring countries,” said Dr Richard Joubert, medical director of this unique upmarket facility.

With the ever-popular Surgiclinic Private Hospital, known for its femina-type surgery already well established, it simply required the skills of the original architects combined with the enthusiasm of doctors André van Schalkwyk , Jean Nel, Pieter Steyn and Wilhelm Combrink, and adding to this – one of South Africa’s leading embryologists, Dr Cornelia van Zyl, and voila Surgiclinic Fertility was born!

The clinic got off to a flying start, despite the Covid-19 pandemic, with seven documented pregnancies to date.
The grand prize for this prestigious facility came about on October 2 with the birth of Herman James Language whose mom, Sarah, was one of Surgiclinic Fertility’s earlier IVF patients.

“To sweeten things further, Herman shares a birthday with me,” added Joubert. Surgiclinic Fertility will thankfully bring many a trip to larger centres to an end for aspiring parents, saving them money, especially in these challenging financial times. “Let your fertility journey start with us!” concluded Joubert.
