Fertility Associates is in Christchurch
In September 2011, Fertility Associates Ltd took over the Repromed fertility business in Christchurch following Repromed Australia’s decision to withdraw from the New Zealand market. Repromed invited Fertility Associates, New Zealand’s leading provider of fertility services, to buy the business.
Patients and referrers should not have noticed any difference in the service and care they receive other than some benefits that New Zealand’s leading fertility provider can bring. Fertility Associates is doctor-led and is a wholly New Zealand-owned business.
The principals of the Christchurch practice, including Dr Greg Phillipson, the Medical Director of the Christchurch clinic, welcomed Fertility Associates as a preferred partner who is able to offer and continue to support a high level of care.
As part of the process, Dr Phillipson became a shareholder in Fertility Associates and is part of the clinical team who share their knowledge and experience. “Fertility Associates has alliances with leading research organisations such as the Liggins Institute and the Universities of Auckland and Victoria, we are delighted that our patients and staff have the wonderful opportunities that this association is bringing,” he said. “We currently treat around 400 women a year for various fertility issues and this number is growing as the age of women having a baby increases. We are at the leading edge of New Zealand and international technology,” he said.
“Our investment in Christchurch is a commitment to the future of Christchurch and an endorsement of our views on the quality of the staff in Christchurch,” says Dr Richard Fisher, Chairman of the Board for Fertility Associates. “We are delighted to be able to have a role in the delivery of high quality medical care which Canterbury and the other DHB’s in the upper South Island provide.”
